Whenever I heard “Culture Shock”, I recall the first moment that made me embarrassed by proving my stereotype was wrong.
Since my both parent had worked, often times I had pizza for dinner. I tried every one of menu from local pizza to major pizza brands like Pizza hut, Papa johns, and Mr. Pizza. When I was done trying every pizza brands nearby, I started to wonder that how the pizza in the U.S. and Italy is different from here in Korea. So as soon as I’ve come here to the U.S., I tried Pizza and I had culture shock because american pizza is very different than I thought.
Pizza here is mostly simple which has one or two topping on it. Moreover people are likely to have cheese pizza without topping. For me, adapted to Korean style pizza having a lot of topping on it, it was surprising.
