On second thought that last one I might never adjust to lol. <br /><br />KOREA!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933307476033483231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-293635948998269637.post-443327064553502442010-10-19T07:36:21.195-07:002010-10-19T07:36:21.195-07:00I only spend one week in Korea but I definitely ha...I only spend one week in Korea but I definitely had culture shock after coming there from Sweden. In Sweden, everyone is polite and quiet... super quiet. Granted, I was in Korea with like 20000 people, a good majority from countries besides Korea, but I was suddenly surrounded by SO MANY PEOPLE and they were all loud. My entire week was negotiation because I was comparing everything to Korea... and it was monsoon season so it rained pretty much every day like a hurricane(I kind of HATE rain). I ate at McDonalds every day because the only thing they served us that I could eat was rice. I was a sad case.<br /><br />Anyways, I'm glad you're realizing where you are in the phases. Just remember each day you are in negotiation, there is another phase waiting for you. Soon enough you will come home and miss Korea and think us Americans are awful. ;)Becca Sanbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00417550384708004398noreply@blogger.com
