4. Be out, not in.
People who are more outgoing and social tend to have a much easier time overcoming cultural shock. That means go OUT! Don’t lock yourself in your room and be lonely. Don’t get on Facebook, YouTube, or start watching a television series until midnight and reminisce about your past life in the States. I did that for a while and my condition worsened. My suggestion is this: Do not stay home and read English books and miss home. Stay outside as much as you can. Simply close the door from the outside and walk around the neighborhood or go downtown. When you are outside, you are forced to experience discomfort and day by day, your tolerance foreign things will decrease. One day you will realize that you have changed and you will overcome your cultural shock.
