For some travellers it is hard to jump off the plane and jump right into the local culture....

I found this article that lists 10 exotic place that will help you get out of your comfort zone and jump on in to what real travel is all about!

Culture Shock Destinations - get out of your comfort zone!

There is a few I would love to go to!

I was quite surprised to see that I have been to 2 of the 10, as I feel I have not yet travelled to many exotic destinations yet.

Would love to experience the other 8!

Fun article; thanks for sharing it.

I've been to Cuba and India and agree that they both rate pretty high on the culture shock scale. However, nothing beats flying into Dhaka in Bangladesh for a complete assault on the senses. I'm not sure how it didn't make the list!
