Culture shock (文化差异) is a difficult topic, but I’m a simple man with simple minds. So my experience of foreign culture goes through three basic stages: anger, acceptance and appreciation.
When I began my life in China I was often filled with frustration(挫败) and 21 over the way things were. Things were seen as clearly “22” and I refused the other ways of doing things except my own. Afterwards I came to 23 different ways of doing things but still saw my own ways as better.
My views were still heavily colored by 24 and I often accepted situations I felt 25 by simply accepting the phrase “That’s China,” 26 China was a backward country that simply didn’t do things correctly. Finally, however, I came to understand and appreciate the new 27 and ways of doing things, sometimes using them as effectively as the 28 people.
For example, fish is never 29 with the head in my country, thus my feelings went from “Ugh! I can’t eat this! The fish is 30 at me saying, ‘You’re a 31 man! Take this off the table,’” to “I’ll let my friends enjoy, but I’ll just have the other dishes,” and to “Would anyone mind if I eat the eyeball?”
It is not the same with every westerner, and some take 32 than others to go through the three stages. It all depends on how 33 you are and how much you 34 on your own culture. It took a little over a year of living in China before I finally appreciate the new culture. Now, I’m more 35 in China than in my own country.
