Americans When Did You Experience Culture Shock?
#Reddit #AskReddit
A couple things when I was briefly stationed in South Korea:
1. I thought I enjoyed karaoke 🎤. Little did I know how much excitement that entails.
2. I wanted to be adventurous with trying new cuisine (popular way to get along), but something’s I had to hard pass. Kimchi (not a big fan of cabbage), kombucha (after a few sips, I had to stop due to how dizzy 😵💫 it was making me), gochujang sauce (don’t know whether I need to get the proper stuff and not from a supermarket on base. That stuff was disgusting) and even the penIs fish.
3. Before being stationed there, I went to AIT in a dry, high altitude climate. When I got there, it was more humid, lower altitude, and I got so sick that I had to be medically discharged from the military.
I was disappointed I didn’t get the chance to experience more South Korean culture, but overall I did enjoy my time there.

It's not just Americans that experience culture shock.
No shit. This time we're just talking about Americans 🤷🙄
@@manifestationsofasort But as you admit, you're not even supposed to be here. This is American social media.
Mayonnaise is disgusting all around but "sweet" mayonnaise?? I think I'm about to dry heave. 🤢
It's not morally offensive to pass on the right on the Autobahn, it's straight up illegal.
My brother went on a trip in high school for graduation to Europe (Parents allowed him).
He said how a bathroom in a public restaurant was so different.
PS: We are Canadian
most european bathrooms don't have gfci because it's usually in the breaker box but some homes still have old fuse boxes with no rcd
I visited family in Ukraine around the time Crimea was stolen by Russia. I'd say the lack of seat belts and how many people I brought to tears for knowing Ukrainian.
Я радий познайомитися з вами. Слава Україне
07:04 Really don't know where the warm beer thing comes from...
Guess, it'll appear like that to someone from a country selling drinks in - basically- buckets, in order to have something else than ice in them.😂
Passing on the right can get you fined... The other commenter is correct...ffs😂
Next guy ( 7:49 ) missed out on the best: fries with ketchup **and** mayo😂
ya i want to hear more from Canada or NZ people who got culture shock lol WE ARE PEOPLE TOO US CANADIANS
europe sounds like an absolute nightmare, and an expensive one.
Depends on the country

Big cities are going down the times, all over the world.
If you go to Europe, don't go to touristy areas. You'll have better luck that way.
@@Khaleesi_Of_Kittens I'm American, so I wouldn't want to upset the delicate locals.
That's a weird way of spelling America.
I have seen USA tourists here in Mexico acting like they have never seen trees, cars or buildings in their lives.
A lot of people in the mid west don't see very big trees, mountains or a lot of green/vegetation, other than corn fields and flat land.
I live in Portland Oregon, friends from Chicago came to visit and they were blown away by the trees, rivers and the mountainous and forested landscape.
I couldn't believe how excited they were by it.
Many Americans are living in a concrete area with few trees and vegetation. So, they probably haven't seen those things.
Deployed to the middle east when in the military. Encountered my first foreign toilet. No tp, just a shower head. Had no instructions on what to do with it so sprayed my ass when I was doing a dump...had nothing to dry my ass with so came out with a soaked ass.
Everyone in my squad had the same issue and then someone told us the horrifyingly gross truth. You were supposed to wipe your ass with your bare hand and use the shower head to wash your hand.
Found out that is why no one in that country shakes hands because of that.
After that everyone deployed with our own TP.
Just want to comment to boost the algorithm
In Ireland everything I took for granted in America cost more. From food to nice clothes to electronics. They spoke of Best Buy stateside like a Holy Land. I was also over there when a euro was worth $1.30. Brand name booze was also ridiculously expensive; Absolut cost 20 euro, which would cost more than if I bought it at home. Students were also unable to seek employment nor get public assistance, yet foreigners in America at the very least get to do work-study.
Update: Irish uni was also bureaucratic. Germany wanted your trash organized.
