Over time, adaptation can walk. culture shock still often occur as a result of interaction of different cultures, both when working and when we were on the ground when off. The most simple example is our habit to cross the street. Frame of Indonesia when he was waiting to cross through our new vehicle while crossing in the U.S., Canada and European countries is the opposite. Then there is another wait, I wait for passing cars in the car while waiting for me to cross. The funny thing is when I got home I also had to do again in a matter Adjustment cross, because I do not want to die stupid hit by a car or motorcycle driver-edanan crazy.
Communication between cultures which produce intense a new culture that we absorb even without leaving the old culture. Is a reasonable if the misconception among people with different cultures, but over time we also began to understand the rules, norms and culture of other nations. Positive results are more confident when dealing with foreign nations. A very valuable lesson that can not be found on the bench for the school must pass through empirical experience, unless you are an international hotel management school.
The streets of the tourist attractions that become an obsession when it was finally accomplished at home, too. Lost in the alley in Venice, confusion saw all the shops closed for siesta in Spain and Italy, eat fruits like mango, but a sense of the harp in the Guatemalan market, eat young coconuts while washing his eyes on the beach bersebrangan with university in Punta Renas, Guatemala, vomiting when tricked a friend into peep show in Seattle (where it was most obscene because the place to masturbate while in the visitors). Eating raw oysters in Mazatlan, Mexico with local people because ditontonin eat chili kepedesan but not, until that has 2 thumbs ngacungin restaurant, saying, "Senor, you're very strong!". Eating oysters in Spain or Nice, France is another alternative when it missed the sea creatures though cost much more than Mexico. Eat grilled fish in Acapulco is also pretty good, let alone the same disambi pickle tacos jalapenonya. Snorkeling in Grand Cayman is also quite enjoyable, especially at Stingray City where you can swim among hundreds of stingrays. Sriptease bar refused entry in Hawaii because they are still minors. Just happy always!
But beside that, there are consequences that must be accepted by those who work in this place. Our time for families to be taken by the work. One year from the time we only have 2 -3 months at home. Now, if among us who are 10 years (120 months) to work, means that only about 20 months for the family. Pathetic! Imagine if you have a child 10 years old, you are just chatting with him for 2 years. The rest we can only communicate through the media such as telephone, letter and e-mail. The price is quite expensive to be paid when we work place it. All that may not be so tasteless for those who are unmarried but when walking, and a single moment like anyone who would decide to get married and have a family. Another story if it does not have a plan for it and be quite happy to get her out as a partner to live or even if you have like same-sex orientation. Celebrations such as Ramadan, Lebaran, natalan, nyepi, perayan Galungan and celebrations that the family moments together into a luxury. We rarely lucky to celebrate at home with family.
You can still career on cruise ships as well. At Holland America Line, a lot of people we've reached a good level manager in the dining room, housekeeping, accounting and warehouse. Not to mention the level of Asst. managers and supervisors who are even more. You dare to look, look pretty, especially if you are not ashamed to be a sycophant or even willing to sacrifice themselves for the Hotel Manager who is much like the same-sex oriented, then your career could be shot like a meteor. While certainly more of us who preferred to achieve a way to fight hard through performance.
Lifestyle and our consumption patterns also change dramatically from before and after working on cruise ships. Referring to hierachy of Maslow's needs it, we are no longer at the level of basic need. We were young age with a dollar in his wallet, then we become more consumerist. All purchased are branded goods. of goods for the tip to toe. We prefer to be slaves of fashion, we have an expensive camera, though we are not lovers of photography, the hours we have to cool as the hours are advertised in GQ magazine, we also have perfume fragrance class so that all are aware of our presence is the smell, sound system, we must be booming what the hell neighbors suffer a heart attack and can make tiles in the house down. Anyway, many of us to be impulsive buyer. When he came home we had to buy a car or a nice house though only for a moment. Girlfriend or wife we also have above average for Indonesia because the standard size used is the usual beauty we see out there though ironically in a matter of months we had to leave for a job.
