Here are some tips to prevent jet lag when arriving in Calgary:

1. During your flight, switch your watch to Calgary’s time zone so you become accustomed to the difference.
2. Drink water before and during the flight.
3. Get up and move around frequently during the flight to avoid any leg cramps.
4. Get outside if you arrive during the day, so that you can adjust to the sunlight.
5. Make sure to relax the first few days and do not overwhelm yourself.
6. Drink water when you arrive, which you can drink straight from the tap.

Your homestay family and friends at school have grown up with values and beliefs that differ from yours and because of these differences, the things they talk about, the ways they express themselves, and the various ideas you come across may be very different from what you are used to. The good news is that culture shock is temporary!

1. Do your research. This will allow you to have an open mind when entering the new culture and get a sense of what to expect when you arrive.
2. Be patient and positive. To help you understand the culture better, it is important to be patient when communicating or learning new concepts, but also stay positive. By being positive you’re allowing yourself to have a better experience.
3. Relax and be easy on yourself. It will be tough to adjust so it’s best to relax and try not to get stressed.
4. Set goals. By setting goals you are allowing yourself to move forward and create enthusiasm in continuing with your plans during your stay.
5. Keep in contact. You should stay in contact with your family and friends at home so they can help you when needed. However, try not to remain too connected to home as it may stop you from acclimatizing to your new culture.
