On Arrival in the
UK.
The first few days you
will probably feel
exhausted if you are
travelling across five
or more time zones, it
will definitely affect
your concentration and
well being. You may also
experience changes in
your breathing, pulse
rate, eye sight, energy
levels digestion and
body temperature
especially if you are
coming from a hot
climate. |
 |
The effects should only
be temporary; a few days
at the most, so do not
be too worried by the
symptoms. The advice
usually given is to:
• Avoid drinks
that contain caffeine,
such as Coffee, Tea,
Chocolate and some soft
drinks.
• Limit or avoid
Alcoholic drinks
• Drink plenty of
water
• Keep active
during the day and try
to avoid sleeping for
short periods until your
body adjusts to the new
time zone. |

Unfamiliar Culture
Unless you have visited
the UK before it may
take a little time to
adjust to the new
experiences, the
following should be
taken into
consideration:
• Climate – It
might be a lot colder
and damper, especially
in the winter months
than you are used to.
• Variety of Food
– You may find that
British food is strange,
in Cafe’s and
Restaurants where you
will encounter “Fish and
Chips”, Roast Lunches”,
“Baked Potatoes”.
Traditional English
Breakfasts” etc. |
