Another trippy and disorienting thing is going to a dark sky spot to see a sky filled with stars that you cannot normally see and having to reacquaint yourself to even find the things that are normally easy to find like the Big Dipper.
I moved from the US to New Zealand. I spend a lot of time hiking, and it is very unsettling for the sky to be so unfamiliar. Orion is the only constellation I'm good at picking out here, and it is upside down. No Polaris, obviously.
