culture shock (God Bless America)

I was raised in Pakistan, Came to Hawaii in 2005. Adapting this culture was the most hard thing i was dealing with. some things i struggle with were food, clothing, and dating.

I was in good shape when I came to the States. However, I quickely began to lose weight because I did not like eating American food. Many of people i have met eat fast and junk food, which i was not used to. back home we eat curry, fresh vegetables, and other healthy food.

Clothing; wearing modest cloths is one of the most important value as a part of my culture.It took me for a while to adjust to this culture, I started wearing skirts, and shorts,so people might not see me with waried looks.

Third, as i saw people holding hands and walking side by side with boys was another thing that i was amazed at. Futhermore, as i saw people kissing in public and at the conners of hales was shocking. Since, in our culture we are not allowed to have an eye contact with opposite sex. Neither are allowed to walk side by side with males.
