Another intriguing experience she encountered was the endearing habit of strangers referring to her as "love" or "darling."
The absence of air conditioning or fans in homes was also included.
Yet another cultural distinction that surprised her was the custom of saying "thank you" to the bus driver upon disembarking.
A TikTok user humorously added that being randomly called "mate" by strangers should be included in the comment section.
The list includes:
1. They drink tap water here.
2. Nobody uses their car horns.
3. No air conditioner or ceiling fans here.
4. Get ready to be called "love" or "darling" by strangers.
5. Saying thanks to the bus driver is compulsory
6. Brits are very reserved no amebo / konkosa
7. You can kiss in public
8. Young people don't go to church
9 So many cuisines and languages
10 Drinking beers in pubs is the British culture
11. Loads of student discount
12. Primark is Okirika for rich folks here
Netizens took to the comment section to express their thoughts on the cultural shocks shared by the Nigerian lady.
However, some disagreed with certain aspects, particularly the concept of drinking tap water, which they suggested was a false claim.
