One thing I forgot to mention really surprised me, because everyone talks about how everyone there is so busy all the time-- In the U.S., I had so much spare time on my hands that I almost didn't even know what to do with myself. And I was working ~9-5 every day! My commute was always short because I'm from the inner city, traffic was just never that bad (people would say it was, and I'd just have to laugh), and things like going to the bank, the post office, etc. took very little time. I'd go to work, go straight to the gym after work to take a class, and then it would be 7 p.m., maybe 7:30, and I'd have the whole rest of the evening to do nothing but relax or hang out with family and friends. Keep in mind that I was a receptionist, which means getting there earlier and leaving later than most of the office. The perks of not being from a rat race city, I guess.
