Yeah I’m from the us living in the uk in an area that has more Americans in it than anyplace else in England (military base nearby) and people complain so much about the things we can’t get or that things are different or about the UK’s prioritization of recycling or that there aren’t drive throughs for a lot of things.

I try to give people slack because many of them didn’t want to live here, just got orders to do so, but even still it’s insane how averse they are to new experiences. There are people who live, send their kids to school, shop, go to the grocery store (even though base groceries are more expensive), and work (civilian spouse) on base, never leaving because it’s “so convenient” AKA they don’t have to leave their American comfort zone.

There are reasons I’m ready to get back to the US but in the mean time im in England and it seems logical to just make the best of it.
