What is Culture Shock 文化冲击
Culture shock is a condition that affects people who travel to a country different from their own. The term describes a traveler’s feelings of bewilderment when the environment and culture change from the one that he or she is familiar with. The unfamiliar surroundings, foreign language and strange habits of a new country can all contribute to a feeling of uneasiness and confusion.
