Exeter
A British "expat" in Exeter describes the culture shock experienced while settling into the UK after living in Canada and the U.S. for most of her life.
Exeter
Born in U.K. but lived in Canada and US most of my life. Brought up in a fairly British home... Mom was English so we had same food and customs.

Well, I have only been here less than 2 weeks So am just starting to realise distinct differences. Some I like a lot some are a bit frustrating at times. But just a matter of getting used to.....
I am only new here so I have a little irritation at times over things like no storage, doing laundry. I bought a washer/dryer combo and it took all day to do 2 loads, but I'm sure I will get to know how to do it a better way. Found out a lot of appliances don't work even without converters and voltage regulators.
A little irritated but mostly love nearly every thing else.
I find customer service outstanding, people are very helpful, love the diversity of people, great restaurants and shops...enjoying the weather... very hot in US where I lived. Lots to do here, love the history, theatre, arts etc.
People are quite reserved and don't readily make eye contact and say hello... lots of simple everyday things to make tasks easier not available here. Going for coffee and getting free refills.
I don't think so yet
I think you need to focus on why you wanted to come here and all the positive things you really love about your new country.
