The cultural shock is what happened to me at first. When I travel abroad this is something I also feel about especially went to western countries. I remembered when I first came to the US, I had to do the orientation thing. I was the only Chinese in my group. We played a game called the name game. You had to memorize the name of your group member and the adjectives in front of the name. My name is Yuki and it was so hard for me to come up with an adjective. Also I am set in the middle of the group so I was unable to memorize all the names. So when it was my turn, I was so embraced.
It was also quite difficult for me to get what people are laughing at. They also don't know exactly my country was like. However, when I talk to more people, things get better. Cultural shock is still there and you have to accept the fact because that is something unique about you.
