[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people are rude, the service is bad, the food is bad, you pay more for everything. I am a friendly and polite, respectful person (not a "loud, annoying American). And all anyone ever cares about is how much money they can get out of me. It's exhausting. And the road are not maintained. I had an accident when tripping in a cracked sidewalk. I was visibly hurt and no one would even move over a little bit so I could walk past on the sidewalk (beside them). I had to walk in the road while they walked on the sidewalk. That is a frequently occurrence - people not moving over so you can both have room on the sidewalk.[/quote] How long have you been there? This sounds like culture shock, and it's exhausting. I did this the other way around, almost 20 years ago, and it surprised me how much it affected me. You wouldn't think it would; I had assumed that there would be minimal cultural differences between two English speaking countries which share a good deal of common references. But it kind of sneaks up on you, and suddenly everything. is. hard.[/quote]
