I’ve spent 3 years in Japan, 4 years in the UK, and a year in Korea. For me it was how incredibly rude everyone is. Sure I encountered rude people in other countries, but it’s on another level here. Also, there are so many bad drivers that drive so confidently here.

Yeah I would say Germany and Italy have the US beat in that category lol. I visited both for only a few days so I wasn’t too sure.
