The Re-entry Shock – Culture shock 6

Cultural adaptationBy ArneJune 14, 2017Leave a comment

After years abroad I returned to my home country. “Finally!” May be one thought.

Aix, Cultural adaptationBy ArneMay 10, 2017Leave a comment

For five weeks now we’ve been back in Aix in France in a conference centre. We’re chipping in with all sorts of practical jobs to help polish our French. If we thought we knew France before, we were mistaken: only now we are getting to know it for real. For here we are totally immersed…

Cultural adaptationBy ArneApril 12, 20171 Comment

I know I am going to stay in a foreign country for longer. I know what to roughly expect. I am excited and happy but also nervous. That is normal. But, how do I prepare myself for the inevitable culture shock? How do I stop any emotional irritation? Do I do a lot of reading…
