How do the cultures differ?
What in distinct terms vary culturally between your adopted country and your land of origin?
Does a sense of art, music, national achievements, history and so forth, hold conscious or subliminal importance to your social and mental welfare?

The arid climate tends to impede their growth in the desert southwest. Now in Blighty you can grow them on the end of your toes in any season.

You forget to mention yoghurt. American yoghurt contains all kinds of sweeteners but British yoghurt doesn't taste anywhere near as sweet.

The humour is certainly different between the 2... it is a rare find when I can really joke around with someone and not have to excuse myself for it

While a YES answer does not automatically signify ineligibility for a visa, if you answered YES you may be required to personally appear before a consular officer.

Re: How do the cultures differ?
To me, Americans are more similar to the people I've met in Spain than to the people I've met in England. More similar in the sense of being laid back, friendly, not afraid to touch or be touched by others (I love all the cuddling that goes on here, I missed that physical contact a lot in England!!). I wonder if this is related to the Latin influence in the country?
I'm just speaking from my own experience, of course, and I don't mean to offend anybody, I lived in England for many years and I loved it and got on with most people just fine...
