What's the biggest culture shock you've ever experienced?

:scared2: :!:
 
Probably would be when I visited London. People driving sitting on the passenger side and not the drivers side. The guards at Buckingham Palace amazed me that they could stand motionless and expressionless for hours at at a time. The London Underground was spotless as were the streets. The best was when my friend (who smokes) asked someone where to buy cigarettes. The person told her "you can find fags two blocks down." :ohmy:
 
Visiting Amsterdam and walking through a street near the red light district where there were naked things everywhere. You could buy lots of merchandice with sex on it, sexual related stuff. And of course the red light district itself. You just don't see live women being a glass door in lingerie in America, although I'm sure some people would want to.
