Sharon of the Expats Moving and Relocation Guide sent me a link to a giveaway she is hosting at the moment for a copy of Danielle Barkhouse's book - The Expat Arc: An Expat's Journey Over Culture Shock.
To win a copy of the book click here, and submit your expat story.
I've been quite lucky and only really experienced culture shock in one of the countries I've lived in. However, I know it can effect people quite deeply and isn't widely talked about which can make identifying it even harder.
Isabella over at Touch of Dutch has covered culture shock in great depth and if you want to know more about it and how she coped with it I would strongly recommend reading through her archives, in particular this post, which serves as a good diagnostic guide.

Oh thanks for this! I'm going to have a read through of all the posts soon. Looks good :-)
These are cute!!
The book sounds interesting! One would think that for those of us who have been living away from home for quite a while are inmune to culture shock by now... Six years after moving to the Netherlands, there are aspects of my daily life here which I still don't know how to cope with.
I've read Isabella's posts about culture shock - she's done a good job, both dealing with the topic in her blog and coping with it in her life! :)
Cheers!
I just checked it out and submitted my entry. Thanks :D
I have this book! I'm almost finished reading it & it's great :-)
Thanks for the link to me as well!
Have a wonderful week!
