To find out more about what an American living abroad had to say about cultural differences, Bored Panda reached out to Kacie Burns, actor and dancer from Canton, Michigan, who has been documenting her daily adventures after moving to live in Florence, Italy. Kacie has a whopping 479.6K followers on her TikTok, where she has amassed 12.9M likes for her fun and lighthearted videos.

Having lived in Europe for quite some time now, Kacie has confirmed that American culture is really different from European in so many ways. “Everything from what they eat to how they dress to what they value to culture/society norms—and then it differs even further when you look at the cultural differences between different European countries,” Kacie told us.

I'm an American (born and raised), but I've heard that in other countries, strangers don't say hi or strike up conversations with each other. I know non-Americans are confused but let me explain:

Sometimes if you are say at an amusement park for example and you're waiting in line for a ride, strangers would strike conversations with you and such and this is actually pretty normal. Or say you are walking around in a park and you walk past by someone, you usually smile and say a quick "hi" as you are walking past that person.

I've had countless times where I've had people strike conversations with me that I didn't know. White people do this, but especially Black people do this a lot as well. Like you would see an old Black lady at a store and she'll just start talking to you.

I've had Europeans tell me that people would think you are mentally ill if you were to strike up conversations with strangers in Europe for example. Especially in Asian countries no one does this (I've heard). Strangers absolutely do not say a word to each other in Japan or China for example.

Side note: This may also be a regional thing in the US. I've lived in southern states mostly (like Texas) and people are really damn friendly down there. Now I live in Connecticut and people are way less friendly over here (no offense).

This one is one that I think other countries should think about adopting. I was recently hospitalised, and the most reassuring conversation I had was with a stranger who nattered about her husband's bedding plants for 20 minutes - completely taking my mind off the pain I was in. (I'm in the UK). There's plenty on lists such as these that I think the US has just gotten wrong compared to the rest of the world (healthcare, work ethic, the republican party), but this aspect I'd like to import.

I think this is going to change over time. I remember a time (in Germany) when you were at the cash register in a supermarket and you and the cashier wouldn't greet each other. Then suddenly, maybe about 30 years ago, that changed. Now we say "hello" and "have s nice day" and sometimes talk a little, but I remember it being so, so weird, to have to talk to the cashier! It was really awkward du first. Now of course, I cannot imagine to not day hello to the cashier, it just seems so rude. But I think at the time, it wasn't meant in a rude way, it was just normal for everyone.

92 Things Americans Are Used To That Look Weird To The Rest Of The World Lemonade. I'm America, but there was a post going around a while back about an American who ordered a lemonade at a restaurant in Australia and was confused to receive a Sprite. The op of the post was the server, and thought it was just the American being snooty for being confused. Then commenters from other nonUS countries chimed in on what a lemonade is to them. It blew my mind, because in the US lemonade is so iconic as a summer drink, and is often homemade.

Eta: lemonade is not water with lemon in it. It requires sugar and preparation.

Second edit: to all the people commenting "hello America, I'm dad" pay your child support. You can't just walk out on an entire country like that and show up suddenly now that I've got karma

When I went to New York I was flabbergasted by the amount of people just loitering on the streets or having phone conversations that everyone can hear on the train like npcs from GTA.

People outside of the USA don't hang out in public or let other people into their business on public transport.

I managed to hear a woman talk about how her baby daddy wasn't going to her daughters birthday party and I started to pick side's in her personal life, while walking through Central Park I heard two friends with a substantial age gap talk about everyone in their friend group having mistresses and they were trading information on the mistress facts each of them knew for their respective friends, I got invested in that one so I folliwed them for a while (pretending I wasn't) because I wanted the tea.

I was thinking "BP is due for an America-bashing article." Predictable as the sun setting in the west.

2 things we found odd when visiting friends in the US: not being allowed to have an outdoor clothes line or a rainwater tank. This was over 20 years ago so maybe things have changed

Depends on the state, county, city, HOA, blah, blah, blah. Plenty of places in the USA allow such things.

It could be a list of basically anything and I’d still downvote it if it was repeated in this manner. It’s more the repetitiveness and lack of originality than the actual subject matter for me.
