I very much agree with this. While [redacted] and the UK don't share a language like the US and UK do I have found the [redacted] and Brits are much more alike than most people realise. Far more so than I found as a Brit and Americans.

Obviously not saying one is better than the other. They're just different and I felt very much the "alien" when in America whereas I felt "at home" in [redacted] in just a few months.

I guess there is a lot of similarities in way of life in the UK and in [redacted]. Healthcare is very similar. Education isn't too different. General support for the social care system is the same. Etc. So while the language is different the overall cultural differences between [redacted] and the UK are tiny having seen it first hand.

Funny story but when I've meet people back in the UK and they learn I moved to [redacted] they always ask how hard I found it and are shocked when I say the [redacted] and the Brits are really similar so it wasn't really hard at all. Some are almost offended by it hah.
