Be open-minded and adaptable. Irritation might occur when things take much longer or things not going the same way as back home. When this happens, take a minute to think through why people here do things in this manner. If you allow yourself to take a step back and think it through, you might understand it and eventually even appreciate the different approach. If you allow yourself to get wrapped up in your first initial reaction to change, it will be harder for you to enjoy your experience. When living in a foreign country, learn to expect the unexpected!
