New York City is the largest city in the United States. More than 11 million people live in New York and its suburbs. The city stands mainly on three islands that lie at the mouth of the Hudson River. The island of Manhattan holds the heart of New York and many of its most famous sights.  Some of the world’s greatest skyscrapers tower above its streets.  Fifth Avenue is a famous shopping street, and Broadway is known for its theatres.

Culture shock might be called an occupational disease of people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad. Like most diseases, it has its own symptoms. Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all our familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs or cues include the thousand and one ways with which we are familiar in the situation of daily life. Such as when to shake hands and what to say when we meet people, when and how to give tips, how to go shopping, when to accept and when to refuse invitation, when to take statements seriously and when not.
