Hi,

Living in a foreign country implies to discover its culture, to learn and master the cultural codes.

How did you deal with that? Share with us your culture shock stories where you experienced a funny or awkward moment in Vanuatu.

What is your advice regarding the donts and what would you recommend to avoid any mistake?

Thank you in advance for sharing your stories,

Christine

Here's a story from the mid-1970s, when Vanuatu was still called The New Hebrides, and was ruled by Britain and France, jointly. We lived there for three years and a bit, and loved it. I know it's changed a lot since then!
