Very true, I went to Miami to visit her family once, culture shock isn't enough to explain what I felt.  The language barrier, food, greetings, the way they treat women, it was......interesting. 
I'm sure she felt the same when I took her to my small ass hometown.  I wouldn't say my family culture shocked her, just the town itself.
