CultureShock! South Africa. A Survival Guide to Customs and Etiquette

CultureShock! South Africa takes you to a country that was once torn apart by legalized segregation and censorship but which has since reinvented itself. With its diverse peoples as well as a rich and varied heritage, the country offers an experience like no other. This book is an essential and comprehensive guide to working through South African culture, helping readers understand its tumultuous past so as to make sense of its present and future. In addition, all concerns facing a first-time long-term visitor such as housing, immigration laws, transport and office etiquette are all effectively discussed. CultureShock! South Africa is your companion to navigate what the wonderful land has to offer, settle down and succeed in the country’s complex society.
