he beret is a joke. The culture shock was real. 🏡 When I moved here from Paris 11 years ago, Bay Area houses gave me a few things to process. Wait… the house is wood? The laundry is in the garage? And why do I need a jacket? This is California. Then came the backyards. The lemon trees. The porches where you could happily lose an entire Sunday. Bon. I’m staying. Eleven years later, those surprises are part of what I love about Berkeley and the East Bay. The houses have character, quirks, and a way of changing how you live. But my first reactions deserved a carousel. And apparently, a baguette. 🥖 Swipe for a little Parisian culture shock. What surprised YOU when you first moved to the Bay Area?👇 #berkeleyrealestate #eastbayhomes #bayarealiving #cultureshock #oliverdavisreal estate agent
