I've been living in China for a long time (almost 14 years now), and life here has basically just become normal to me.

A lot of things have changed in that time, like safety, technology, and the overall development level.

But because things are so normal for me, it's hard to imagine what surprises people when they are in their first or second year of "China life."

So, I'm wondering...

If you moved to China from the US/Canada or "Western" countries more recently, what are the things that surprised you the most? What were the biggest contrasts?
