Cultural differences

As I was speaking to a friend about her experience in Span, i told her mine,when I visited Europe last winter, the topic brought me back to sociology class where we discussed different cultures and finding things weird or overal different from another culture way of doing things. For example when I was in Paris in terms of not being able to understanding the language, realizing that some terms that meant one thing in the US may not have meant the same over there.How people spent there time, the things people valued being different, trying different kinds of food and even the way they combine meals. Another thing that stood out, was there not being many people of color that understand me or where i came from just having completely different experience that were not relatable at all. There way of life just being way more relaxing then NYC those are just a few vague ones. But I would love to know others people experience of cultural differences, so share If you want
