  Not being able to bend the rules.
  Sorting rubbish. 
  The need to get 3 quotes before you get anyone to work on your house
  The fact that not everything is a conspiracy
  Foreigners sometimes prefer to finish work properly rather than fast - e.g. without leaving wires sticking out of the wall in a big shopping mall etc. 
  Non Turks aren't all accustomed to you going up and talking to their baby as a total stranger
  Not having toilets that squirt water on your bum like they do in Turkey.
You can live in a nearly complete Turkish bubble in the UK and Germany is probably even more like that.

This would be sad. Turkish food, for example, might sometimes be good but the world has a lot to offer and I've met a lot of Turks who won't try anything (Brits are probably slightly better on average but many are just as bad).
