The survey in 2002 of economy and business class travellers.

40 years ago people used to travel overseas by ship and it took one to two months for a long journey, but nowadays travelling has got a lot easier by air and it takes one day or less than a day.

People move to new cities or new countries more than ever before to study or work but they have a lot of challenges which  will face them. Firstly the different culture from their Own culture; they need to adapt their behavior. Secondly they will be far away from their family and home. Thirdly the type of food is so different from their food they were having in their countries.

Overall, there are many strategies for how they can live in another culture. Firstly they can use mobile phones and Skype and the other social sites. Another strategy is to do research about the country that you will visit and what you should do and what you cannot do.

Overall, there are many challenges they will face but there are also so many strategies they can use when they visit other countries and it’s good for their experience.
