People-Share-Biggest-Culture-Shocks
I would like to share my culture shock experience after I came to Germany from India in 2016. (The incident is not exactly about me, but I witnessed this). It was my 2nd day in Germany and I had to travel to the university for completing some paperwork formalities. I chose to travel by local public transport bus. It was peak hour time so the bus is fully occupied by passengers. I was standing in the bus and after 5 minutes the bus stopped at one stop. The driver got off from his driving seat, stepped down from the bus, and came to the middle door of the bus. The reason he came was to help a handicapped person to get on the bus by unfolding a wheelchair ramp All people were there, nobody made any noise nor any angry faces. I was stunned by looking at the scene that happened. Because in my country I have never seen such a gesture by a bus driver to help a handicapped person and that too during peak hours in a crowded bus. The second cultural shock was just after 5 minutes when I stepped down from the bus at my destination stop. I saw the same person crossing the two-lane road on Zebra Crossing using his wheelchair. All the cars (more than 8–10) stopped on both sides of the road. There was no noise, no horn nothing. After the person successfully crossed the road, vehicles went off. This moment really gave me goosebumps, that how can people behave so nicely and show such gestures and follow rules. Isa • commented on 20 posts 11 months ago

I have pure OCD.Basically it involves a lot of overthinking,fearing a situation, anxiety etc .Many a times it becomes very difficult to focus and feels like brain fog.It occurs in intervals of time like sometimes it is gone and then it is again there. If it gets bad then there is a terrible headache, feeling of a pressure band over my head and brain fog 24/7 whose only solution is to sleep. It is difficult to explain it to others becos there are no physical symptoms like repeated handwashing,fear of germs etc.If I listen to a song then it repeats in my head continuously without break.It sometimes because very different for me to concentrate during exams.I create situations in my head which are not true or think about something which someone said to me all the time.Hey Pandas, What Is Your Wittiest Comeback?
