Moving to another country for school or work is a common choice for millions of people seeking new experiences, but relocation always comes with a period of adjustment, with a new culture and daily habits catching people completely off guard. In an Instagram video, Disha Shah, an Indian-origin woman living in Australia, recently shared five of the biggest everyday surprises she experienced after making the move down under.
The post resonated with many users on Instagram, as they liked and commented on the post. “Police on horses? There is one place in India where it’s common… Trivandrum. You can see them patrolling the city every night. They are called the Ashwarooda Sena or the Mounted Police,” one user wrote in the comment section.
