The process of culture shock is so predictable that its stages have been systematized.
The first is the honeymoon stage, familiar to those of us who love to travel, but never stay in one
place long enough to find out what follows. In the honeymoon stage, the new country and its people seem
delightful. It almost feels most comfortable than home. Everything is so different and charming, the people are so
nice and the customs are so interesting. Then the bloom comes off the rose. People start to look shallow, selfish,
and stupid. The different ways of doing things do not seem interesting any more - just boring. You start to feel
exhausted all the time. Culture shock has set in.
