- I moved to the US from the UK in 2005 after landing a job in New York City.
- I've adapted to the US culture pretty well during the 19 years I've lived here.
- But three things continue to confuse me about the nation and its people.
It's not very often that you're offered a job in an exciting new country — at least in my case.
So, in 2005, I seized the chance to move from England to the US to work for a former colleague.
The plan was to stay for a maximum of two years. I couldn't bear the thought of being away from my friends, family, and homeland any longer.
