The branding of the experience followed its meaning; the imagery of a lightning bolt represented both culture shock and the strength required to overcome it.

 

The name is a Spanish cognate, meaning "adapting", reflecting the language shift that accompanies adaptation.

The 8 1/2 minute experience is captured with the following video, which allows the viewer snapshots into what the experience is like.
