When you moved out of your hometown , what was the most shocking matter you experienced ?
Moving out of your hometown for the first time can be a rewarding experience but it can also come with challenges.
If you’re someone who relocated — whether it was from the West Coast to East Coast or from a majorUS cityto a small town, or vice versa — we want to hear about the culture shock you experienced.
Moving from the South to the East, maybe the weather was a culture shock you didn’t know would affect you.
Or perhaps you came from a highly populated city where you have to take the train, but now it’s better to have a car to get across town.
Maybe it’s the fact that in your small hometown, everyone is friendly and hospitable, but in your new city people barely hold the door open for others or say “Excuse me.”
Did you have sticker shock when you saw a slice of pizza in NY that is double the amount of what you would pay for one in the Southwest?
Maybe where you lived before had an awesome nightlife but your current location is so quiet that you can hear grass grow.
