What adivice would you give to a friend suffering from culture shock?
I would say thats not all are bad, that try to see the good things of the new culture to wich it faces, that try to make friends and to find something that distracted.
What personality traits do you think could help prevent culture shock?
I think if the person is open minded and is willing to meet new people and new cultures, is not afraid to change and live one day at a time, would have a personality suited to not suffer much culture shock.
