Culture_Shock

Culture Shock The Culture Shock I experienced moving from the Island of Guam to the city of SanDiego. My life has changed drastically in the last three years. Growing up on the tropical island of Guam, then moving to the city of San Diego at the age of 19. In this essay I plan to explain the differences in culture, food and the day to day living. I was born and raised on Guam. My grandparents were in the military and stationed on Guam many years ago. My parents loved the island and decided to call it home. Guam is a very small island approximately 30 miles long and 40 miles wide. It would take about an hour and a half to drive from one end of the island to the other. The population is somewhere between 150,000 to 200,000. The weather is beautiful all year long. The temperature has never been below 75 degrees. The native people of the island are Chamorro and speak their own language. The Chamorro language is similar to Spanish due to the Spanish conquest.
