Three Unexpected Differences Between the US and UK Culture
An American's Eye-Opening Trip to the UK: Three Unexpected Cultural Differences American traveler Kalani Ghost Hunter recently shared his experiences in the UK, highlighting three significant cultural differences that surprised him. The first is the tipping culture. Unlike the US, where tipping is customary and often expected, the UK doesn't have the same practice. "When you get your check at the end of dinner, they don't ask for a tip, they don't even give you an option," he said. This absence of pressure to tip was a notable difference for him. His second observation was the portion sizes. He ordered a large drink and was surprised by how small it was compared to what he's used to in the US. This highlights the varying expectations regarding portion sizes in different countries. Finally, he addressed the style of British humor, describing it as "very dry, very dark, and very passive-aggressive." While initially unfamiliar, he eventually came to appreciate the unique and often subtle humor. The video concludes with an invitation for viewers to share their own experiences with cultural differences between the US and the UK. This video offers a lighthearted yet insightful look at cross-cultural experiences, offering a relatable perspective on the subtle yet significant differences between American and British cultures.
