Feed drop from The Deep Culture podcast from the Japan Intercultural Institute. These episodes will help you understand culture shock and the disorientation that happens during the immigrant experience.
In this episode, Joseph and Yvonne discuss the "Oz Moment"—the experience of wonder and surprise that comes from first experiencing the sights, sounds and sensations in a foreign place. This episode explores the mental processes that lead to Oz Moment experiences. We hear from Ayako, who had a life-changing experience when she stepped into the restroom at LAX. Oz moments teach us a lot about how our mind works when we have intercultural experiences.
