Summary: | Business travel, cheaper airfares, more holiday destinations, and greater affluence, all make the world a smaller place. The broadening of travel experience means that for some there is the risk of culture shock-the reaction, positive, negative or indifferent-which occurs soon after we have been dropped into a new cultural milieu. Whether for a long-term stay or a lazy weekend, CULTURE SHOCK! will provide you with a fun-filled crash course on the do's and don'ts. Each book entertains the reader through topics such as language, food and entertaining, social customs, festivals, relationships, helpful business tips, as well as many explanations of daily sights and scenes which might confuse or even deter the visitor from a desire to learn and live with surroundings that are sometimes totally alien and uncomfortable.
