I have been at work for a couple of days now. The first thing that I noticed are the smaller office rooms. The whole office is seperated in little offices, so different from many Taiwanese (or US offices) we are only a couple of people in each room. So you don't feel like chicken in a coop. Of course, you better get along with the one or two coworkers in your office. If not, i believe the effect is worse than in a big office with 50 people.
The second thing - no one is listening to stuff on his/her computer. In Taiwan (the last two companies) I was used to seeing many coworkers with earphones on and listening to music, news or baseball games. I am not sure yet, if this is illegal here (or forbidden in this company)
As I mentioned it is still very cold. Fortunately inside we have heaters, so most of the office is very comfortable. But the office building includes a big warehouse (by the way, it is a bike company) which is not heated, and you have to cross this warehouse to get to the restroom, the kitchen etc. So at the moment I always sprint through the warehouse to get to the bathroom. Unfortunately sometimes I have work to do in the warehouse, like talking to the guys working there or check out a bike.
