The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last “ Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings You can cope with most problems that occur You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them If you meet someone from your country who has just arrived, you can be the expert on life in the new culture and help them to deal with their culture shock There is a fifth stage of culture shock “ Surprisingly, this occurs when you go back to your native culture and you have changed and that things there have changed while you have been away Now you feel a little uncomfortable back home Life is a struggle! 31 When dose culture shock happen?
