CHAPTER 04: Culture Shock

QUOTE: “You cannot discover new oceans unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.” ― Andre Gide

LESSON: Adapting to Change

SYNOPSIS: My journey begins in Israel in the late 80s where everything was so different from what I was used to back home in Canada. I had to learn the new customs, set up a bank account and get settled into University. I was in terrible culture shock at the beginning this journey. As I eased into life in at the University of Jerusalem I made some new friends from South Africa and discovered a whole new way of thinking that permanently changed my perspective on the world.
