Embrace Culture without Shock| The Netherlands Edition

Hola Amigos, this is my first video about moving to the Netherlands. As an international student I experienced cultural shock and felt in the beginning that I was alone going through these drastic changes but guess what, we all go through it.😄

Cultural shock is a common thing experienced by most students when they move to a different country.

Cultural shock comes in 4 phases:

1. Honeymoon phase : In this phase you fall in love with the city, everything feels exciting and new.
2. Rejection phase : This is where cultural shock hits you. You start feeling things differently and end up complaining about a lot of things from weather to food and everything in between.
3. Regression phase : You start hanging out more often with people from your own country and this is your way to cope up with homesickness
4. Adjustment phase : You finally start adapting yourself to the new culture and get along slowly.
Now you are ready to face the new world.

I hope you found this video useful and let me know if you could relate to the above cultural shocks when you moved to a different country.🌻
