Traveling abroad can lead to significant culture shock, as observed in a Reddit thread where users shared their surprising experiences. Common themes included social interactions, variations in tipping culture, and the high quality of local foods. Many travelers remarked on the friendliness of locals in countries like Vietnam and Italy, where socializing is prioritized. Conversely, attitudes towards tipping varied dramatically, especially for Americans accustomed to stringent customs. Additionally, travelers were often impressed by the freshness and taste of food in Europe, highlighting stark differences in culinary quality compared to their home countries.
In Italy, it was groups of adults or teens or entire families out for a stroll and maybe to sit somewhere with a drink or snack after work and into the early evenings.
Everyone out at night in Vietnam, people will randomly start friendly conversations.
Tipping culture in the US!! Been there numerous times, but never get used to that bs.
How good the food is in Europe. The quality and taste blew me away. Especially the bread and pastries.
