Third, humor stage
Last, home stage

Did seeing people who look like the guys in the picture you posted give you culture shock?
Thanks for all the interesting information on culture shock.
That was my first impression when we came on vacations for twenty days 1995-second time in 1998.It was really"Honeymoon"but at the moment I am living in shock with my son.He believed independient and wants to do what he wants.I feel this new culture alienatos us too as a family group. I like your blog because today I'm living in second,horror stage.I hope not for long time.
