Culture Shock Whenever people travel overseas, they are like “a fish out of water”. Like the fish, they have been swimming in their own culture all their lives. A fish does not consider what water it is in. Likewise, people often do not think too much about culture they are raised in.

From large oil rigs to small fishing villages, Scandinavians uilizedt the marine environment that surrounds them. I know this quite well, from experience.

and Brisa is the 7-year-old angel. I wasn’t prepared to listen to everyone’s complaints and the bumpy road didn’t help. After four hours in the car the Cooper clan finally made it to Galveston.

I wasn't looking forward to sharing a room with my little sister, but it was better than sleeping with the boys. I closed my…

There were many fun things to do in the island like swimming, water tubing, scuba diving, snorkeling and many others but still it turned out to be a nightmare!
