Abstract

Culture shock is a kind of psychological condition which sometimes may cause people’s physical effects. It not only affects people who have been away from a surrounding where they have lived for a long time into a new environment where everything is new and different for them and they are not familiar with, including the food, weather, language, and typically the social rules and conventions for that they are not consciously aware of. However, it’s for certain that everyone can succeed in the cross-cultural communication if he/she is ready for the incoming problems of cultural shock and enjoy a lot the process of living in a new culture with smile on the face. Nothing is difficult in this world if we dare face it.
