I've spent 3 years in Japan, 4 years in the UK, and a year in Korea. For me it was how incredibly rude everyone is. Sure I encountered rude people in other countries, but it's on another level here. Also, there are so many bad drivers that drive so confidently here.

I’m in Germany and recently visited the US again. I was struck by the politeness, lol

Yeah I would say Germany and Italy have the US beat in that category lol. I visited both for only a few days so I wasn't too sure.

The size of the meal you get a restaurant and how cheap it is. I knew it was big and cheap, just forgot to what degree.

How much personal space people need. I also need that much personal space, but I thought I was just being unfriendly

Road width! There's so much room for activities on american roads compared to the very narrow side streets in most european towns
