Moving from the US to the English countryside brought unexpected culture shocks, especially in daily routines. I faced challenges like grocery stores closing much earlier than those in the US and the scarcity of non-gel roll-on deodorant. Walking became a more significant part of daily life, and the lifestyle adjustment also meant adapting to quieter town centers by late afternoon. While English culture seemed familiar from films, the day-to-day reality proved to be a unique experience.
One major adjustment was learning that grocery stores close earlier, altering my shopping habits significantly, especially since I was used to stores open until late.
Finding non-gel, roll-on deodorant proved to be quite the challenge here in the UK, highlighting some surprising differences in consumer products.
