11 Culture Shock Shared By This New Zealander After Moving To The US

Learning from books, movies, and the internet is a way to get to know other countries. But, there's one problem. Things we learn are often stereotypes that differ from reality. For example, think of the UK, many will relate this land with unpredictable weather, foggy mornings, and rainy days. But of course, it's not like that. There're seasons and sunny days. Some people get that notion of "London in the rain" from English literature (maybe) and assume it's true. Well, that's why the "culture shock" things are real.
So, this New Zealander, Jazz Thornton, relocated to the US. And as time went by, she experienced various culture shocks, one by one. So she decided to make videos and share her thoughts with others. This lady quickly became viral with her funny and entertaining videos. And down below, we have collected some of her best. Let's scroll down and check them out with us.
