The second video shows the experience of Egyptians living in U.K. When they talked about food and drinks based on the people's experience the food is different. In the Egyptian culture there are varieties of food in but in UK it's fish and chips. When it comes to studying abroad it's engaging in UK and more organized. For example in UK you can contact your teacher through social media but in Egypt you would have to meet them and ask them for help. The people in UK treat you differently by not making conversations and don't give the people in need. UK is a multicultural culture because they have entertainment and sports. For example there are concerts in UK and sports games. For example the premier league is different than the Egyptian league. People would rather watch the premier league rather than the Egyptian league

Video 1:
This video is not very accurate, however there is some truth to it. It can also be viewed as a somewhat humorous but also offensive video as it was made by people who are obviously not Egyptian. I think this video gives a very bad and not even completely accurate image of Egypt to people from around the world because of their over exaggerating of the Egyptian culture. Also, I think America is not that different from Egypt, as it also has its flaws, but the video does not show them.

Video 2:
I think the biggest culture shock when traveling abroad for me would be how people treat me outside of Egypt. In Egypt, most people are in a bad mood, swearing all the time, honking their horns while driving. Abroad, the people are very calm and peaceful. They are always smiling at you and treating you as if they're your best friends even though you've never met them.

I think the most culture shock I would have if I studied abroad wouldn't be the food, I can learn to adapt in terms of food, but the shock would probably be from how people are happy and always smiling to me and they don't even know you, walking in the mall and people i don't know smile to me is weird for an Egyptian. Here in Egypt you only smile to your friends and family, if someone smiled at you walking by in Egypt you would think that they are either making fun of you or hitting on you and it's probably going to be one of the two. Another culture shock is how people are respecting each other, wether it is in the classroom, street or in just everyday situations. In Egypt driving isn't just a commute to your workplace it's more of a war with other Egyptians the winner being who can get as close as possible without hitting the cars. The same thing with taxi and bus drivers, they always have this war going on with who can click the horn the fastest every three seconds. We have a very weird and complicated traffic system.

traveling abroad always leads to changes in culture. if i ever happen to travel abroad or overseas, I'll be flabbergasted by the changes. The educational changes would be the most shocking to me. It's so hard studying abroad, because everything around you changes. There's no one to support you; you need to become more independent. Your learning environment is completely different. Also, there will be many rituals i am used to that will be missing like seeing my entire family every week. The fact of being a total stranger alone scares me,knowing that my best of friends and family wont be here to support and comfort me.

The second video was talking about Egyptians living abroad. When Egyptians live abroad, their mentality changes and they adapt towards the new better culture. They become more organized and obidient towards the rule. Egypt is a more flexible culture towards the rules and sports. In London they are more open towards relationships, however it is not the same in Egypt, because of the countries religion.

1st video:
This first video is accurate but disrespectful towards Egyptians. For example when Egyptians wake up for school, it's true we wake up late but however we don't want movies on our laptops before school. This video shows how the Egyptian culture is disrespectful, when a foreigner watches the video he will picture the wrong image of Egypt.

# data[].attributes.body
The video portrays the difference between American and Egyptian lives. It is accurate but at me time exaggerates the different lifestyles. the video is biased,it demonstrates american lives being better than Egyptian ones in terms of behavior. also, the girls in the video are not Egyptian and do not understand our cultures as much as we do. i find this to be negatively effective because it gives foreign countries false impressions about our culture.

# data[].attributes.body
the greatest culture shock for me if I somehow happened to concentrate abroad would be the means by which decent individuals are. At whatever point I travel, I am dependably in aw in view of how individuals treat you and care for you particularly in shops or eateries. So the way of life shock for me would be sure.

# data[].attributes.body
For the video attempting to pass on the Egyptian culture i think that its really precise and interesting to watch since I am Egyptian. However i saw the girls who made this are not Egyptians which makes it somewhat more boring and offensive than entertaining.

# data[].attributes.body
For the culture shock video, I find it very interesting seeing how different people deal with living overseas. Some people get homesickness, others have difficulties consuming foreign foods. If I decide to travel overseas, my biggest shock for me would be the helplessness of others. In Egypt, people are so helpful to the point where they would cross oceans for you. I don't think people would ever be as helpful as Egyptians.

# data[].attributes.body
There is some truth to both Americans and Egyptians but overall the video is biased to Americans against Egyptians. Both cultures' antics are exaggerated and the makers of the video are not Egyptians which is ironic since they choose to represent Egyptians specifically. Even if they are Egyptians which they don't seem to be they don't seem to be living in Egypt. The actions they portray may have applied to their uncivilized family but don't apply to normal Egyptian humans. Furthermore Egypt is a loud culture which is what most of the actions are based off of and if we do commit some of these actions then we only do them with our closest relatives or friends as it's not very serious and we know they're comfortable with that.

The first video shows the main differences, between Egyptian and American culture. The two perspectives of the video is accurate both ways, however it is not completely accurate, because Egyptians act like the video, when their guests are close. They wouldn't act the same way towards a total stranger. They need to adapt or relate to their guests, in order to act the same way.

# data[].attributes.body
For the second video, I think one would have a lot of different shocks depending on their background. For me, the biggest schock would be how open-minded people are. To me, religion plays a big role in my life and so does here in Egypt. My parents arent as open minded as In England, so seeing them doing what they do freely whenever might be schocking. I amot used seeing this anywhere at anytime

# data[].attributes.body
The first video is a offensive yet a bit accurate. The reason why it's offensive is because the girls in the video aren't even Egyptian, so it's like they're mocking us. Aside from the that, it's somehow accurate because we lack punctuality. Yes, Americans and Egyptians are completely different but not to that extent. I think the girls are overdoing it and it's offensive because they're not even Egyptian

# data[].attributes.body
Video 1: The video is just some low-comedy pandering for views while showing a misinterpretation of Egyptian culture by people who are very obviously not even Egyptian. Yes some things are accurate, like our general lack of punctuality or lassaiz faire attitude however it is presented in a childish and cringe-worthy way .  also america is a huge country with all different walks of life and they certainly are not as perfect as the video claims.

Video 2: If i travel the world and study abroad my biggest shock is just hoe different people are towards one another depending on their culture. i believe your culture determines your actions and this is never showcased more than when you travel abroad.

# data[].attributes.body
1st video: I don't think this is 100% accurate although there is some truth to it. For the Egyptian side, yes some families act this way but not all. I say this from experience, I've been to many friends' houses and their families do not act this way at all but I am sure there are some uneducated and low families who are like this. The only thing that is true about this is the fact that Egyptian life and American life are 2 very different things, but not to this extent.

2nd video: the biggest culture shock for me if i were to study overseas would be how nice people are. Whenever I travel, I am always in aw because of how people treat you and look after you especially in shops or restaurants. So the culture shock for me would be positive.

# data[].attributes.body
As an Egyptian, I view this video as not accurate and borderline offensive since this the people who are acting in the video are not Egyptians. There are a lot of people on multiple social media platforms that make fun of how Egyptians live their lives, but it is okay since they are all Egyptians. Saying that, I am not denying what was is in the video  I believe that most of what was in the video is true about Egyptians, but also there was parts where they over exaggarated the skits in an unfunny way. And I think if people from other cultures saw this video they would have a misleading first impression although some of the skits in the video were true.

# data[].attributes.body
In Egypt, there are many youtubers who make parody videos. They make fun of Egyptians but they dont mean it in any offensive way and its acceptable because we are Egyptians, our sense of humor is what makes us US. I am an Egyptian, when I watch other sarcastic videos, I do not get offend it and actually like it. However, this video, isnt filmed in Egypt and the ones filming it arent Egyptians and I guess this is pretty offensive. They shouldve addressed that its a parody or pay trube and praise to Egyptians. Although it might be somehow accurate, I find it pretty offensive and it gives other people wrong impressions based on this unreliable video.

For the video trying to convey the Egyptian culture i find it pretty accurate and amusing to watch because I am Egyptian. Yet i noticed the people who made this are not Egyptians which makes it slightly more offensive than funny.

# data[].attributes.body
For me the biggest culture shock may be the level of individuality that is present in non-arab countries. For example, in my years abroad in Canada everybody kept everything to themselves and that is not an aspect i'm used to in Egypt.

# data[].attributes.body
The biggest shock for me is the family time I’ll be missing when I’m gone, every Thursday I’m used to going to my grandma and seeing my extended family on a regular basis, but if I travel abroad I feel like I would miss that so dearly, sure I will be making friends, but the family aspect is what will I'll be missing if I study overseas.

# data[].attributes.body
People from other cultures might see this video very shocking. This video might be accurate but also disrespectful. The two girls are not even Egyptian. But the important aspect is that it is accurate and true, Egyptians are always late. And I believe that if people from other countries see this video, they would look at Egyptians no respect.

# data[].attributes.body
Going overseas is a shock on its own, and then the shocks start to divide themselves in categories such as food and education. One of the biggest shocks would be always being served pork and there isn't a variety of food like we have in Egypt. Egypt is a country that serves all type of food for different people with different cultures around the world. Another shock would be the education aspect, its totally different and its more organized and that would take sometime to adapt. Also, finally time is the biggest shock any Egyptian would face if going overseas. Egyptians are always late, and countries around the world more organized when it comes to time.

Share what you think would be the biggest SHOCK for you if you decide to study overseas!

Culture Shock is back. This time it's the turn of our Egyptian Students to give us an insight of what life is like for them in the UK.

A funny video about the differences of Americans and Egyptians; not intended to insult either culture; just fun and exaggeration for the sake of humor. Enjoy!
