I thought I would write a blog post about the differences we have noticed so far in the US. First of all everyone is so much more friendly. Practically every person you pass even if you've never seen them before will say something to you. This is probably normal in America but in the UK it is quite an unusual thing to happen, not many people will say something to you as you pass one another.
Another thing that we have realised is that everything is bigger. Food portions, shops, roads anything you can think is probably double the size. It takes AGES to look around one shop. We were in target today for about an hour got around 1/15 of it, while in England spend an hour shopping and end up visiting all of the shops you intended too.
The food. I have been enjoying the food (especially when we went out for breakfast) but everything tastes so different - even the bread. How can bread taste different? and orange juice what's that about? For us it is also very strange driving on the wrong side of the road. Well obviously the right side (punny - this is going well) but we have our GPS so we are on the right road (I'm on a roll) although I expect that wont take long.
The last thing is super markets or grocery stores. There is basically nothing the same apart from a few things like naked smoothies or evian water. But everything else is different so trying to work out what's the nice food is another adventure in itself. (Any advice or tips are warmly welcomed)
