in the Czech Republic (and believe me, I speak from experience here):
- rude Czechs (of whom there are MANY)
- the bureaucracy of moving
- being offered meat, meat, and more meat everywhere I go (and being tempted by it)
- being put in the position of having to defend Americans and explain everything American (which happens often)
- the frenzy of consumerism, commercialism and capitalism enveloping more and more facets of Czech life & culture
- racist, sexist and xenophobic comments and jokes heard on nearly everyday basis
- having to pick my battles around when and how to challenge the above
- being openly criticized for being overweight (which has happened each of the last three time I last visited. Once by a stranger, once by a relative, and once by an acquaintance)
- the air pollution
