Culture Shock

It's difficult for foreign students when they started studying outside. Because the weather in Canada is very cold in the winter's months, international students who use to live in warm places feel that weather is cold, and they usually get a culture shock. Some students find that food is not familiar to them, That leads students to find fast food. Also, they are looking for familiar brands restaurants. It is not easy to speak and listen foreign language. Even if the students speak English very well, they must get the regional accents feeling them embarrassed. Also, if student come from hot weather places and is used to wearing light dresses when they arrive to Canada espicially in the winter, they will see the differences then they will get culture shock. Social behaviours are not easy to feel it as the students from their countries. Because every country has a different culture, some behaviours could be rude but in another places are not. Some students worries to make friends and how to be kindy with them. During the time the student become more familiar to that life.
