Most things are a little different, shopping, driving and such. The street signs aren't very visible and billboards, store names and traffic signs all let you know- you are a stranger here. I look forward to when they will be familiar and moving about will be more relaxed. I can tell from the veterans that it will never be like driving at home.
I have been looking up medicines, names are generally close enough to be recognized but it can be tricky, what sounds familiar is sometimes not. I was just changing the toilet paper roll, I had to read the instructions, which are in English, to use a little tool to push in a spring to release the spindle. Familiarity and the usual way of doing daily things are an under appreciated comfort.
