An incredible achievement of your family

Oh, and also did you live in the UK before going to HK. If you did, what do think are some culture shocks you think I should be aware off. I know there are a lot of questions, but thank you so much!

My grandmother survived 5 years in a Nazi forced labour camp in Germany.
My granddad was a war hero who fought at Monte Cassino.
My mam grew up poor and left school with no qualifications, yet ended up working directly for a former Australian PM in Melbourne (when he was an MP). She also had diplomatic status at one point, working at the OECD in Paris and living next door to Grace Kelly (Princess of Monaco).
My dad was a Hussar in the French army. He later became a chief police detective in Paris and personally knew John Paul II, the Chief Rabbi, and a load of other super important people.
I pale in comparison.

Hi aybeee, my situation is the opposite to yours. I'm from HK and I'm now studying in the UK. To me, one of the biggest cultural shocks is probably how enthusiastic(?) people seem in the UK and how they act when meeting new people. (e.g., in the UK, people hug each other, complimenting the other to break the ice, lots of small talks...) It might feel like people in HK are more distant, but it's actually just a cultural difference. People in HK are not so used to physical contact unless you know each other quite well (Tbh I also took quite some time to get used to people in my school hugging me to greet me haha)
Another thing is that the climate and weather are quite different from the UK. It's much warmer most of the year and gets quite hot in the summer. You might want to put that into your consideration, although pretty much all indoor spaces are equipped with AC (and trust me they are strong) In addition, the length of days and night are not so different throughout the year, which I prefer over the extremely short daylight time in the UK during winter times.
