I lived in London, and the first thing I noticed is that people genuinely hate Americans. As a cute girl, I managed fine, but some of the guys in my group had a very hard time.
I noticed lots of cultural differences, but the biggest one would be acceptance, less judgmental of other people (unless, of course, you are American).
A more international perception of the world...unlike the United States, where we focus on ourselves constantly. Could also be due to the fact that travel is simply easier somewhere as central as Europe.
