culture.shock.
the sense of unsettledness and out of place ness that one experiences when adjusting to the demands and norms of a new culture.

reverse.culture.shock.
the (at times unexpected) sense of unsettledness and out of place ness that one experiences when re entering one's home culture after extended immersion in a different culture.
