Culture shock is always tough on those who have never lived overseas before. Even if you went to a western country, I'm sure there would still be a degree of culture shock or displacement as it's not your normal surrounds.
Bear with it as it happens to us all. In my case it was 3 months before I overcame the culture shock. I would recommend the following:
- Try and learn the local language
- Get out and meet some people your age. Pubs, clubs, sports groups etc.
- Get a cheap phonecard so you can call home and just chat for hours without worrying about breaking the bank.
- Get internet connection asap - that way you can read the newspapers you would read back home
Give yourself time and hang in there. It will get better.
