Everyday Dialogues

En este episodio, continuación de los dos anteriores, hablamos del CHOQUE CULTURAL, o cultural shock que vivimos cuando viajamos.
Cuando nos enfrentamos a otras culturas muy diferentes a la nuestra podemos experimentar muchas cosas, algunas muy positivas como curiosidad, ganas de interactuar con otras personas y aprender; u otras un tanto negativas, como rechazo o abrumación.
¿Experimentaste un choque cultural antes?

Yo si! Hablemos un poco de esto, ¿estás listo/a?
