Yeah, I had to adjust to my then finace's culture. He's Albanian and I'm American. It was an adjustment. There was a definate conflict in me. Albanian's treat women differently than I'm use to, so that was difficult for me accept. Email me if you want more information.

Well, the area which I live in has lots of pakistani and bengali people in it so me not being either I have to adjust to that, which sucks.

I am living in several countries and have to always adjust to the various differences in culture, customs and behavior. It comes naturally, especially when you speak different languages.

Yes, I've had to have several 'cultural adjustments'. I've been stationed in 3 countries and visited over 30 (some more than once). I've had to adapt to the culture of the country I was in and accept THEIR way of doing things and remember my way was not always THEIR way. This doesn't just happen in foreign countries, but in areas around the U.S. My daughter-in-law grew up in a small town in North Carolina, moved to this city and lived here for 3 years, married my son and moved to San Diego, California and went through some serious culture shock getting used to the life style out there.
