Living in the U.S.
19
First of all, the honeymoonstage
20
Everything seems new, quaint and novel.
21
The food, the surroundings, the buildings.

And it produces feeling of euphoria, a desire to
look around, to experiment, to explore.
23
The next stage is the horror stage.

• so America was cool to me.

31
The laws and idiom

33

• Nostalgic, tired, confused.

34
The next stage, is the humor stage.
35

• Where the people begin to reflect back and laugh
  at their mistakes in the earlier stages.

36

• When I came to the railroad crossing, I thought
  that I had to stop every time. When I did, the
  driver behind me beeped the horn. I was so
  ashamed because nobody stops before crossing the
  railroad crossing.

37
And the final stage.
38

• Is Home stage where people begin to feel at
  home, enjoy living in that foreign country.
• We dont have a picture for this because
  everybody here can show this.

39

• This kind of feeling is not only for the
  immigrants, its for all the people who need to
  change their habits, customs, school, city,
  house, etc
