Having lived in the Netherlands for so long, I seem to take it for granted how well set up it is there for cycling. While here in Japan, I am using a bicycle daily, and the frustration is boiling up occasionally at the difficulties I have been confronted with. Like having to either cycle in busy open car traffic, or instead to cycle on the sidewalk while avoiding collision (and eye contact) with pedestrians. Or having to take side streets or else face repetitive, irritating delays at all the big four-way intersections. Or having a 15-by-15-block central district banned for all incidental bicycle parking (at the threat of towing and a fine, which is just the place where bicycle parking should be encouraged more than cars) and having to circle around for half an hour to find a bicycle parkade with open incidental parking spots. Despite this all these irritations, it is still a nice, refreshing (and much faster) way to get around here.

Quite a lot of Europeans are currently visiting the #USA for the first time in order to watch the #WorldCup . And they will experience the same #CultureShock that I did, back in 2008:
They have to face the concept that some cities are _not_ #walkable .

One unexpected culture shock since moving to Catalonia, aside from the time-shifted mealtime schedule, is the attitude towards rain — even the faintest few drops can lead to a sudden migration indoors and even the cancellation of events with outdoor components.
Today, one of the girls is on a school trip, and the forecast 37% chance of rain triggered numerous messages in the parents' WhatsApp group suggesting that it should be completely cancelled or rescheduled.
Coming from the UK, and even the relatively dry London, where this attitude would result in nothing ever happening, I continue to be taken by surprise, even after seven years here!

What Could Possibly Happen?
The weather app indicates 34 degrees and a chance of rain. And some wind. Great. The idea of leaving my cozy living room is less than wonderful. As I slog around the house getting all my gear, I wonder about this cycling addiction I have. What draws me to long distance trips which, if you’ve ever read any of my blogs about said adventures, you will know, are not all ponies and unicorns. Sunny and clear and very, very cold and windy. There are so many aspects to this kind of […] -

My girlfriend dropped some wisdom today. I was fuming because people kept cutting the hotel coffee line. I saw "uneducated pests."
She saw a cultural difference. She noted that Westerners obsess over "behaving" and structure, whereas Chinese culture fosters "resilience" to chaos.
They weren't trying to be rude; they just possess a pragmatism and tolerance for disorder that I lack. Fascinating how a shift in perspective changes how you react to a simple buffet line.

Quiet days in Laos turned into full-body culture shock.
A meditation café, an e-bike escape through Vientiane traffic, and then suddenly — me, the only foreigner, standing in a sea of faces at the That Luang Festival.I came for a gentle walk.
I left with my perspective shaken (in the best way).👉 Full reflection on Substack.

I don't have a complete picture, but I've been watching some "Foreigners reacting to German culture" videos for a while now.
They kinda used to be more ... balanced, or curious, in the past. Even if healthcare and safety from violence have always been a big plus for Europe.
But it's kinda striking that quite a few long time posters in this category recently moved to Europe, or moved back to Europe. Like "James Bray" or "Feli from Germany".

"Albania vs. America: Daily Life Differences"
I haven't watched much of this guy's stuff since I'm not really into the entrepreneurial Digital Nomad types. But what he mentions about emergency preparedness here is true in my experience.
I was just asking about multi-story bldg escape routes today and I could tell the realtor felt I was a bit picky for asking. I guess a lot of folks just try not to think about it...

I nowadays get the same uncomfortable feeling when engaging with #GitHub that I used to get when dealing with #Google. Maybe I'll soon reach the point where seeing someone use GitHub is as much of a culture shock as spotting someone searching with Google is to me today 💥
Hopefully all the projects I'm interested in would have moved on by then :forgejo:

All through school, teachers, administrators, and professors had us refer to them by title and last name—Mr. Duda, Mrs. White, Prof. Samuels, etc.
It came as a shock to me, when I got my first job in corporate America, and bosses decades my senior insisted I call them by their first names.

The new video from @TechConnectify initially made me feel like I'd fallen through a portal to another plane of reality where everything was weird.
.... Then, towards the end of it I realised that bizarro dimension was called "The United States of America"
Really amusing, if perhaps predictably in-character, how MP3 CDs weren't -- A thing -- Over there. Described as this niche feature of some players that no one really noticed or cared about.
They were the default media format over here in Brazil for some 15 years, until optical media started being phased out everywhere in the mid 10s.
.... And yes, 99.99% of them were pirated af, burned on the shops' own backroom (or, of course, at home if you were tech-y like I was) from tunes downloaded from eMule/Kazaa/etc.
So it does make sense it never really ~happened~ in the US. But still feels surreal.
