When I ___1___ my life in China I was often filled with frustration and ___2___over the way things were. Things were seen as clearly “____3____” and I rejected the view of there being other ways of doing things.

Finally, ____9____, I came to understand and appreciate the new ____10____ and ways of doing things, sometimes using them as effectively as the____11_____.
For example, fish is never ___12___ with the head in my country, thus my feelings went from “Ugh! I can’t eat this! The fish is ___13___at me saying, `You're a ___14___ man.' Take this off the table,” to “I’ll let my friends enjoy, but I'll just stick with the other____15____,” and to "Would anyone mind if I eat the eyeball?"
It is not the same with every westerner, and some take ___16___ than others to go through the three stages. It all depends on how _____17_____ you are and how tightly you ___18___to your own culture.
