robertjones+FollowThings That Shock Americans in the UKThought you knew the UK from movies and TV? Think again! First-timers are in for a wild ride: you order food at the bar (not at your table), tipping is way less stressful, and hotel rooms are tiny (plus, say goodbye to top sheets). Supermarkets? You bag your own groceries. Public transport is actually reliable, and if you drive, brace yourself for roundabouts and narrow lanes. Oh, and don’t expect deep convos with strangers—manners are a whole different game! #CultureShock #TravelTips #UKvsUS #Spirituality30Share
Nicole Rasmussen+FollowUK Grocery Stores: Where Are the Cashiers? 🤔American TikToker Gizelle Cade is baffled by the UK’s obsession with self-service at grocery stores—no cashiers, no bagging, and barely any cash accepted! Her viral video sparked a debate: is DIY shopping a British convenience or just cold customer service? Brits fired back, saying they love the no-chit-chat, no-tipping culture, while some Americans find it super impersonal. Is this the ultimate UK vs US shopping culture clash? #CultureShock #UKvsUS #GroceryStoreDebate #SelfService #ViralTikTok #Entertainment00Share
Keith Williams+FollowWhat should be noted when applying to universities in the UK?1. The most important thing is that your university or college is recognized by British schools! If your undergraduate university is not on the list of American universities recognized by British schools, your application may even be directly rejected by AI. 2. In the UK, universities do not admit students based on their specific majors but directly to specific courses (which are called "majors" in the US). The key point of the application lies in whether you are suitable for the course. 3. British universities value the adaptability of your courses. Academic performance is important, but top universities are more eager to see your academic abilities beyond what you have learned at school. They don't care whether you have participated in sports or joined unrelated clubs, or what kind of volunteer activities you have done. 4. Good universities in the UK place great emphasis on GPA. If your GPA is relatively low, don't consider popular majors as the competition pressure is too high. 5. The first wave of applications in the UK usually starts around September. A few schools will open earlier, but many of those that open earlier can only be submitted but not accepted. #StudyAbroad #UKUniversityAdvice #Universityapplication #ApplicationTips #UKvsUS #CollegeTips 30Share
