As you may o
39、r may not realize, you are now experiencing what is known as “re-entry“. You may have heard it referred to as re-entry culture shock, or return culture shock. Regardless of the name, coming home from study abroad can be a challenging and difficult time, and it can also be the time when you learn the
40、 most from your cross-cultural experience, As you re-adjust to the culture of the country, it may be helpful to know a little more about what you are going through and some positive ways of dealing with it.Re-entry can be defined as the often unexpected and sometime difficult experience of re-adjust
