You will....we havent got energy power here, no internet, we all go only to churches to pray all the time, we sacrifice animals to the various god, we havent got car and no houses as well (we all live in tents), we cant write or read, we havent got tv or radio, we are green and very nasty...veryyy

Yeah you'll get shocked for sure. We are all cannibals, you know Hannibal Lecter? And oh, I forgot, we love Australian meat. Come on! Culture shock? If you're afraid then stay at home! If you travel you have to get used to different cultures!

You'll be fine! No worries! Just go and immerse yourself in the culture...you'll be surprised by how much you absorb. I have friends that live in Italy (2 are from Italy and 1 is married to an Italian and is now speaking fluently). Just take it all in! IT WILL BE OK!

Make sure you get the pronunciation of Italia correct. It-alia not I-talia. hard to explain but def ask before you go!
