I arrived in England for the very first time last month in October. Obviously as you can image, when you set foot in a country that you have never physically been to, your mind subconsciously goes into overdrive thinking the probable and unexpected cultural shocks you may come across.

Even though I pretty much knew that England may not be quite the same as north America, in terms of life style, foods, attitudes and what not, I still couldn’t help but constantly worrying about the unusual things that would face, but surprisingly enough I have not noticed any extremely outrageous or completely extraordinary behaviours or manners, apart from the fact that people in this country are annoyingly polite and respectful.

To be frank I have been more struggling with new responsibilities and different commitments as opposed to cultural shocks. Since I have literally not lived in a different country on my own, It has taken me a longer time to fully settle down and get round all the activities I need to do such as washing dishes doing laundry, shopping every other and so on.

All in all, I believe as time goes on I will be able to deal with my self better and hopefully I can finally adapt myself to university environment.
