An example of the "Lost Boys" experiencing culture shock, was when they were trying to get on the escalator, they were not quite sure how to get on and off--some of boys stumbled. This would be culture shock because the "Lost Boys" experienced a sense of disorientation from what they would consider a norm from their country. This was probably the first time any of the "Lost Boys" have ridden and/or seen an escalator.--do not use this example).
