Cultural differences

Hello,

I am an international business and trade student in Istanbul. I am taking management course and I have a project about a person who comes from abroad, works in Turkey and experiences cultural changes in his/her life. If anyone is interested in sharing his/her cultural experience, I would be so happy to hear the answers.

Thanks in advance.

Hi ekortun and welcome to https://www.expat.com.

Good luck.
