That Texas is actually cold. In my mind it’d be a desert like Arabia where it’s hot all day everyday. My favorite thing is that everything is available here, starting from streaming / online services to goods. Least favorite: drugs are commonplace and sort of normalized, in Moldova they’re a huge taboo. Here addiction seems to be a huge common issue. Alcohol laws: in Moldova I have the occasional glass of wine / champagne with my dad since I was 14. Here alcohol is this big wow thing. I like the food, especially Texan BBQ.
Has adapting to American culture been difficult? Part of me wonders if social media and the global networks have made things easier for people to be exposed to other cultures should they want to be.
I honestly haven’t felt much of a culture shock. Maybe cause I’m white and Eastern European culture is not that “exotic” (different). I felt like I fit right in from the beginning.
What did you find surprising about moving to America? What’s your favorite thing about Texas/the US and least favorite?
How do you like our food?

It’s true, we love vice in America!
