Topic	Have you ever had CULTURE SHOCK in another city/country before????
jcgamer107 01/19/18 9:39:04 PM #15:	certainly going to foreign countries was pretty crazy....probably the one time it came close within the US was when I was in New Orleans for a week. Bourbon street was kinda crazy, but a lot of the surrounding area was quite picturesque. England was wild because you'd have beautiful lush, green landscapes directly next to packed urban areas. It was a bit like a fantasy land in parts, compared to the U.S. Very interesting and historic - more regal. Like ShatteredElysium mentioned, driving is quite different - the actual guidelines on the roads and direction of traffic seemed more lax, but everyone pretty much seemed to know what was going on (though London had its share of sketchy drivers). The biggest moment of culture shock was my first day out of an airport in Brazil. I was staying in Manaus and it was easily the poorest area I was in for my entire trip (during the 2014 world cup). I had to get bottled water since drinking the hotel sink water was obviously out, and I had to walk down to this marketplace that was set up almost on the river - you had to walk on wooden boards to stay above the water. They had kids selling food, water & stuff, it was really like a third world country just in that one area. Experiencing that on my first day made the rest of the cities seem very urbanized. Not to mention that was the only city where I didn't really interact with any english-speaking people. --- SeabassDebeste BK_Sheikah00 Grand_Kirby WAY TO GO THERE BOIYS, GOOD GAMEFAQS BOYS <cite>jcgamer107 posted [p:894400885] in Have you e...
