I'm Mann. From Campbell, California USA. Those who come into our country can most likely find an easy time adjusting. USA is a melting pot where people from all over the world, from all different cultures come in to try and make a living here. The reasons each person comes here is different. Maybe more opportunities, maybe a better lifestyle, maybe it is safer. Around the area I live, most people get along fine, despite of being a different religion or from a different country. Cultural conflict? Sometimes people find the actions that people do that are from a different culture revolting, disgusting, horrible, or maybe it just makes them uncomfortable from what they are used to. People are able to do almost anything what want as long as it does not break any law. Having disputes because of being from somewhere else may be common, but easily solved.

when I lived in Singapore for a week, I'm immersed in new problems: housing, transportations, new friends, eating, and also language. i just can handle it with understanding any differences encountered. its a normal part of the adjustment process and I need not to be ashamed of it. i just begin to understand textbooks or dictionary and lectures. I must experience all the stages and its helpful in understanding the language and also the cultures.
