REVERSE CULTURE SHOCKS returning to Germany 🇩🇪 from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧

REVERSE CULTURE SHOCKS returning to Germany 🇩🇪 from the United Kingdom 🇬🇧// In this video, we explore the reverse culture shocks that we experience when returning to Germany from the United Kingdom. We have been living in the UK for more than 8 years now and are surprised how accustomed we have become to certain way here. From differences in social norms, to adjusting to the pace of life and cultural expectations, we cover it in today's video. Join us as we navigate the challenges and surprises. Let us know in the comments if you've experienced any reverse culture shocks when moving back to Germany or visiting from the UK. Kirsten & Joerg
