It's quite common for Americans across the pond to make the journey over to the UK and start a new life. Whilst we share the same language, there are numerous cultural distinctions between America and the UK, such as our drinking culture and fixation with tea. Recently, one American who's lived in London for four years has disclosed there are certain aspects of life in the UK that continue to baffle him. TikTok creator @kjordyyy, who commands 280,500 followers, outlined three key points in an extensive clip shared with his audience, declaring "London is unhinged". He remarked: "First thing, why is it a random Thursday night and people are setting off fireworks?". Despite residing in south London, the American suggested this might be area-specific but emphasised: "I'm hearing this all year around." However, the pyrotechnics weren't his sole grievance as he proceeded to discuss the "crazy awkwardness" experienced on the London Underground. "It is interesting it'll be 8am 9am super rush everyone's on the way to work and not a PEEP," he confessed. "Everyone's avoiding each other's eye contact and it's just such an interesting scene. Don't be mistaken though on the weekend Saturday/Sunday that is the loudest you'll ever see the tube. It's because they got that liquid courage in them." Lastly, urban foxes featured in the American's TikTok clip as he initially believed they were "in the same league as wolves". He continued: "Last but not least and this one's a tiny bit niche, foxes just chilling I can wholeheartedly say I've never seen a fox before in my life my entire life. "And you would think foxes would be like in a countryside or maybe an outskirts but no if it's 8 or 9pm you'll see rattling in the bushes and low and behold it's a freaking fox and the craziest part is they're not even dangerous. "I thought foxes were dangerous, I thought they're in the same league as wolves or even like honey badgers but bro foxes are the most timid creatures and not just that you'll hear weird noises screeches and screaming at like 12am that sound almost like babies crying or is this foxes fighting or doing you know what, but madness." Following the upload of his clip, it garnered 1,300 likes alongside numerous responses. One viewer remarked: "I don't feel awkward on the Tube at that time. That's *you*, not something you're observing." Someone else commented: "No one gets on the tube in rush hour to make friends," whilst a third person responded: "North London has random fireworks too! Always like 1am on a Tuesday as well."
