For me, it was the politeness and queuing culture in the UK—it feels so refreshing compared to the hustle and bustle in China.

After two years in China, I returned to the UK and saw everything through a new lens. The pace of life felt slower, and I appreciated the little things, like walking through green parks or popping into a local shop. One thing that surprised me was how straightforward things could be, especially with paperwork.I needed to get an apostille for birth certificate to finalize some stuff, and the process was a breeze compared to what I had experienced in China. The people were super helpful, and it reminded me how nice it is to have that personal touch when dealing with official things.
