Culture Shock defined:
Noun. Citation: Merriam-Webster:
A sense of confusion and uncertainty sometimes with feelings of anxiety that may affect people exposed to an alien culture or environment without adequate preparation
Culture shock is typically divided into four stages: the honeymoon, frustration, adaptation, and acceptance stage. (Reminds me of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross)
Good news is that over time, people can become familiar with their new surroundings as they make new friends and learn the customs, leading to an appreciation of the culture.
