I lived in Indonesia for five years many years ago. I picked up the language in a few months as I had to communicate with others. Loved the friendly people.

I had so many encounters with culture shock when living in a Muslim country for a year.

My first culture shock here in Germany was seeing young couple in the city kissing each other in the public. Even old couple holding hands. Now, I am get used to it.

@thelme55 indeed! But it is really warm my heart to see old couples holding hands. Make me believe that true love exists

@sharonelton @sharonelton This kind of coffee was the only 'coffee' which could be bought in the GDR (German Democratic Reublic) after the end of the Second World War. My mother always sent real coffee to our relatives when we had moved to West Germany.

I was surprised by the small portions of coffee. I have never lived across but I would love to one day live somewhere near the beach.

I am a big coffee lover (Turkish coffee being my favorite) and I recently moved to Zambia which is a tea nation. There is simply no place where I can find a decent cup of coffee except in my house so I guess I’m saving money hahah but I feel you because I had the same cultural shock when moving to The US(was used to small servings and the servings in America are huge).
