Culture Clash

A Trip To The Unknown

In this past week, I learned that moving to another country is really difficult. It is hard to arrive to a complete different area in the world when you know nothing about the country's culture. However, it also depends on the age that you decide to move in.

When you get to the new country, it is not easy to get used to

the weather or even to find a decent job. In countries such as Colombia, people are usually very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, not everyone is like that, some people may be rude or they may treat you badly, taking into account where you come from.

Even sometimes, finding a job may be harder because of the language barrier and the cultural clash. Also, your daily life would change drastically, due to the fact that every single thing changes depending on the country. When in one country the supermarkets do not need cashiers to help you, there are some countries that do use them.

In conclusion, it is very important to first get to know the culture, language and the city that you will be moving to, if traveling abroad.
