People don’t compare anything! Just realize that everything might be different. Especially if you seem worshiping your host country. You can believe me, no one want to hear such asshole telling bullshit! Even if you have a chance to share your experience, just avoid any kind of comparison and idolizing. When it comes to different, I usually tell people that certain thing happens for a reason. For example, if it comes to the public facility, we all know that developed countries have a more advanced facility, but we need also to realize how much dues they pay as tax or how much fine they need to pay as a penalty if they violate the regulation. If we complain about what we have back home we need to realize too how much contribution we gave for society. Do we deserve to complain? Or we need to make a change starting from ourselves to solve the social problem? That’s something you need to consider. Remember you are awesome just for one or two months because after that there will be more alumnae back home in the future. Thus, just don’t brag too much about your past!

Keep moving on
As the result of any preparation I made one thing for sure that we all need to do is keep moving on. We know that life is too precious to overthrow back on our past happiness. In short, why don’t we create the other happiness and another achievement ? There still lots of opportunity out there waiting for us. So, prepare yourself on the other great adventure, believe me, happiness and accomplishment will go nowhere if you make it.
That was my preparation to avoid reverse culture shock. Do you have other rituals to keep moving on? please give me a comment and let me know what you did for yourself.
