Settling into new culture can be extremely difficult.
Although some culture shock is inevitable, there are a number of ways to make
living overseas much easier. How far do you agree or disagree.
Since centuries, people start to move have been moving out and settle settling down into at new places. Nowadays, people living
in live abroad to fulfil social requirements either for
living, working, studying or for leisure. Adapting to new environments could be
very hard due to distinct ideas and lifestyle that could be contrary to our own
culture and principles.
One of the major problem problems of living abroad is language
barrier, as language is very important as a medium of communication and
transferring information. Foreigners who are unable to interact well with the locals usually end up
getting wrong information and face more problems
accordingly. Thus, one solution that could be done taken is by learning the locals local language. This could be very
helpful especially to ask for direction or as simple as to have order dinner.
Another problems problem of living abroad is feeling
homesick, and consequently, some may just want to give up and return home
sooner. This can be tackled by making new friends. Friends can make us feel
more alive, more like a home especially if we meet someone from the same regional region . Besides that, we could also keep
in touch with our family either through phone or the internet.
Finally, many people find that living abroad causes a culture
shock. As different culture practice by the locals may go against their own believe belief and culture. This is easily solved by respecting other religions and local
customs. We might not be agreed agree with the
locals but as long as everyone respect[s each
other, then we should be able to live in peace and harmony.
All in all, adapting to new places could be hard but by
learning and respecting local
custom and language, we could be more likely to fit in the society.
