Learning from books, movies, and the internet is a way to get to know other countries. But, there's one problem. Things we learn are often stereotypes that differ from reality. For example, think of the UK, many will relate this land with unpredictable weather, foggy mornings, and rainy days. But of course, it's not like that. There're seasons and sunny days. Some people get that notion of "London in the rain" from English literature (maybe) and assume it's true. Well, that's why the "culture shock" things are real.
