11. Something that caused you to drastically change your thinking

I had a strong reaction to culture shock when I first came to the US, mostly because before coming here, I saw a lot of American TV shows and movies. So, my expectations of what Americans would be like was completely different from reality. For example, not all Americans smoke, are loud and rude, drive like maniacs, have sex all the time, and look like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Actually, Americans are not so different from Koreans.
