At the beginning I felt confused because I knew little about the culture surrounding me since I rarely visited other places than the residential care facility where I was living. Little by little I started relating with different people and with different places, which helped me at perceiving different faces of the new place. Like this I understood how things work in the new country and I became familiar with the new culture, customs and rules. Establishing these new and different relations was of particular importance for my protection in that moment of discoveries; this is why I paid attention in choosing appropriate relationships.

 

Establish new relations with different persons and places of your surrounding reality by being aware while at the same time open minded about the cultural diversities you may encounter.
