"those little differences" Americans who visited Europe, what was surprisingly different for you?

Street signs are on the sides of buildings; not on metal poles like in the US.

You know most things I am fine with the change but I genuinely think signage of streets is easier in America.

As European I have to agree with you.It drives me crazy that at times I look at the building and I cant see what the street Im on and then you try to look on the other side and nothing because all corners are not with the sign. So at times you have to walk a bit just to figure what street you are on and the same with numbers of the houses,lots of them miss the signs.

That is exactly my experience.
