A2: Even though it was my question, it's tough to pick my first memory of culture shock because as a 5yo kid I was traveling with my family around Europe. So different cultures is something I've seen most of my life. #TTOT

replying to @StevenOnTheMove A2: I had culture shock when we moved back to the U.S. because I remember telling my dad at the grocery store something was too expensive and that we should barter with the clerk to get a lower price. #TTOT

Landing in Mumbai. Just astonished me. Completely. It was like walking around in a soup of sights, sounds, odours, colours, people. Fell in love and yearn to go back A2 #ttot

replying to @TravelDudes @TravelDudes @StevenOnTheMove A2. Not sure if it's culture shock or just lots of shocks. First trip, landed in Bangkok, a day late, bags got lost too. So we were in a new place that's completely different, everything hit me. Worst first day of a trip. #TTOT

@natpackertravel hahaha oh no.
I thought it hilarious in Thailand where they'd pick me as an Aussie at 50 paces and yell out "G'day Sheila!" and then I thought I'd be funny and reply in French that I didn't understand and then they'd reply back to me in French! #ttot

A1 Culture shock means vastly different, the more you travel the less you are shocked and you learn to embrace it - Jess from @aardvarksafaris in Kenya with Samburu women joining in with traditional dancing (reluctantly) at Sasaab #ttot

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel I'm super glad I have tattoos - it's art and I'm glad I get to share that in countries where it's not the norm! I live in France, where it's not so common - so old women stare at me, but the younger folk love them! Times change, as do attitudes :-) #TTOT

replying to @natpackertravel @natpackertravel @TravelDudes UGH! I'm sure the language difference didn't help either. #TTOT

RT @SonjaSwissLife: Q2 via @StevenOnTheMove What is your first recollection of experiencing culture shock when traveling? #TTOT

A1 The surprise of a new environment and experiencing new people and a new way of life. I think it's important in broadening your horizons and developing as a person #ttot

replying to @AllyMacDee @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel I didn't get babies thrust at me. thankfully! LOL #TTOT

A1. Sometimes a pity - but where I am always seems to be the right place to be - plenty of awkward experiences but usually nothing to do with the culture! #ttot

replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove @TravelDudes Nope, not at all. luckily bags were found within a couple of days. But that first twenty four hours was so hard. #TTOT
StevenOnTheMove
replying to @HHLifestyleTrav @HHLifestyleTrav @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel Totally understandable. My apologies if it came across that I was judging you for having tattoos. Some can be VERY well done, and some not. Neither bother me, as it was someone else's choice. #TTOT

A2 Even being informed, it was shocking for me the 1st time to see true poverty in Mexico City many years ago. Images of ragged women with children hiding in alleys between luxurious high rises with those big begging eyes will never leave me. #TTOT

replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife @StevenOnTheMove A2: not really culture shock but more like floored by jet leg… On several overseas assignments working with foreign militaries, I’ve had to roll off a 20 hour flight and get up and teach / meet generals a few hours after landing. 😵 #TTOT
natpackertravel
replying to @SonjaSwissLife @SonjaSwissLife That was a massive shock for me too. #TTOT

replying to @natpackertravel @natpackertravel @TravelDudes Ironically my departure from Bangkok sort of mirrored your experience. Got rear-ended in a taxi cab heading for dinner. Then it poured down rain as we tried to hail a cab after eating. Overpaid to get help a taxi to the airport. Thankfully no bag issues though. #TTOT

A2: First time travelling solo overseas and arriving in Seville, weird processions going on (that were great!), but I didn't speak Spanish, they didn't speak English and I felt a bit isolated for awhile, wouldn't bother me these days though #ttot

replying to @HHLifestyleTrav @HHLifestyleTrav @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel Gotta be prepared for stares with lots of choices we make before traveling. Same goes for hair colors and styles and clothes, but certainly tattoos are much tougher to deal with. #TTOT

A2. It is ALWAYS shocking to encounter extreme poverty & deprevation but also a good lesson! #ttot

@RTWBarefoot it's a bit easier having google translate now.
I couldn't even pronounce bloody chicken properly (took me 9 years to find out I was saying pollo incorrectly) haha #ttot

replying to @AllyMacDee @AllyMacDee @HHLifestyleTrav @SonjaSwissLife I would not cope with having babies thrust at me. I have no maternal instincts and would probably drop the poor things! #TTOT

replying to @HHLifestyleTrav
@HHLifestyleTrav @StevenOnTheMove @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel I love tattoos on other people, I find them really interesting (both in and of themselves, and the reasons behind why people choose them) and some can be absolute works of art!
That said, I (only) have one, it's not very big, and I've no plans for any more. #TTOT
HHLifestyleTrav
replying to @StevenOnTheMove @StevenOnTheMove @AllyMacDee @SonjaSwissLife @natpackertravel Weirdly, one of the worst was small-town Italy - very traditional! Tattooed women were harlots, so I got the worst looks! At least in Japan it was just pure curiosity! #TTOT

A2 I think Cairo Egypt was my first real culture shock - they have a clever way of selling on the local bus on route to the Pyramids - the kids drop useful items in your lap and then if you want to buy it they take the money before you get off #ttot
