  • Have you ever experienced culture shock? In this video I share ten of the things that shocked me upon moving to America in the year 2020, both the good and the bad. I hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed putting this together. Would also like to hear from you in the comments, can you relate to any of the points shared? Were you surprised by any? What more culture shocks have you experienced?

    I forgot to add that I now love small dogs and cats! After living with them for a whole month, I had no choice haha. Now I see why people adore them so much

    Never having travelled outside of the US (yet) it is very interesting to see peoples views who are not from here. Things that are everyday normal to me & i would never think twice about can be very different or strange for someone else. I really hope to travel to other places and experience different cultures eventually. Great video, very informative showing your perspectives and experiences!

    Welcome friends! Grab a cool seat and lmk what you think in the comments!

  • @bobwoww8384

    I’m thinking the dogs and cats thing is a transference of love issue. As in it is scary to extend love to another person because being rejected is as terrifying as betrayal to those trying to connect… Sort of a tribal thing, if u don’t belong u die thing🫵🏽🌹🫶🏽 Bless u on ur journey

    Omg the yam debate! 😂 when i first met my husband he kept saying "you want yams?" Or "I got you fried yams" Whenever we went out to eat and i was like "sweet potatoes?! With my ___?...no thank you" 🤦🏾‍♀️ I'm still convinced it's in the potato family 😂🤷🏾‍♀️

    It’s not really the most common for a young person to afford a house. There are some but it is not most. It’s very very difficult

    The grading system!!! And the food! Also, I think the self service is really cool. I hesitated using it for a while and would always go to the cashier line until my friend showed me how easy it is.😅

    1. Homelessness is real because of the bills people have to pay; this is aside the present inflation condition. Some states have general home/facilities for the homeless but people don't want to stay in the facilities.

    The yam own shock me pass 😂😂😂 I've heard about the class participation and I find that really interesting as well.

  • @godspirate6250

    My wife is Nigerian. Now I undersand the dog thing, because how the dogs are in Lagos, so now she wants one, but she's still asking for a guard dog, (oh boy)..lol.) She actually showed me how to use the cash app.

    In the US we call sweet potatoes yams. Actual yams are usually labeled cassava/yucca or some places do call it yam. but they’re normally found at international stores.
