The Big One

Which cultural differences have had the biggest impact on your cultural adjustment? 

Differences in:

• Your home
  
• Neighborhoods
  
• Your work
  
• Schools
  
• Everyday living
  
• Language
  
• Cultural values & ideals
  

Is the difference in the what, the how and/or the why?

When I first arrived, I think I would have probably said how I work and my home. Now, 8 years later, I would say it is the cultural values and ideals, both German and US American.
