1.  I noticed when I was talking to people they seemed to stare at me and hold eye contact a lot longer.
2.  In the first week it made me really uncomfortable so I would just look away.  I didn't understand.
3.  Now I seem to hold my eye contact longer.  I feel more comfortable so when other people are talking I directly at them.
4.  I stopped taking things personally.  I just got used to the fact that it's polite to hold eye contact longer.  I kept telling myself it was okay.
5.  I've just felt more confident in myself.  I'm being more polite but trying to fit into the culture more.
6.  I'll be able to notice more cultural values.  I'll probably hold eye contact longer and look "weird".  I'll have to readjust again.
