Although I have experienced many culture shocks, the one most interesting and prominent is the tendency for Italians to be quite brutally honest. At first, it was off-putting. Here in Italy, the culture is such a stark difference between that of America when it comes to social interactions. Whereas in America, you get a lot of people who are, for lack of a better word, bullshitting you, the Italians are so far from telling you what you want to hear.
