Culture Shock

This week in class we learned about culture differences and culture shock. Culture shock is the drastic change that one goes through when experiencing a new culture. We looked at different toilets that different culture throughout the world use. When the class saw these pictures everyone was like "That's so weird!", because we are not used to flushing the toilet to wash our hands, like the toilets in japan. A time where I experienced culture shock is when I went to Ireland. When my family went out to dinner and we were ordering our drinks the waiters at the restaurant did not know of some common drinks that people order in America, so we had to explain what was in them so they could make them for us. Also driving was complicated because everything was backwards for us and normal for everyone else on the road. When we got into the car I go in on the drivers side thinking it was the passenger because I am so used to doing so at home.
