Making the most of your short term experience Experience the culture of another people.
Culture shock is really people shock.
It isn t possible to experience the culture without relationships. Cross-cultural experience helps you prize people over things, value friendships over your own frustrations, and put your plans into God s hands. True experience of other cultures will irrevocably change you.

It s going to take a stripping away of the window dressing.
