Re: To Non-Americans who have visited America

[(Anonymous)]

I'm from the UK, and have visited America three times (Florida, Virginia and Washington). A few things that stood out to me...

- There's so much SPACE in between things. Public transport feels sparser, and if I had to rely on that, I'd probably struggle to get around compared to here.
- American chocolate is not good, but those cinnabon things make up for it.
- A lot of the houses I saw/visited felt...more flimsy, somehow? Less solid-looking walls, less likely to have a second floor or private, walled yard space. And I remember in Florida there was a 'historical' neighbourhood tour for houses over fifty years old, which was weird since I live in a Victorian terrace.
- Winter in Florida feels like summer over here. Winter in DC feels like winter.
- There are some great free-to-visit things in DC, like the botanical gardens and zoo. All the big UK zoos I've visited, like London and Chester, had high entry fees.

Lived in Michigan for 2 years. It feels like winter there too.

Bigger cities (in the US and Canada) seem to get better, more frequent transit service than smaller ones. I haven't experienced UK transit, but I guess it was pretty frequent when I visited Athens.

I noticed the space too after spending a month in Europe. The huge cities feel very tightly packed, so when I came back to Canada, I noticed how much space we had in comparison.

Yeah public transportation is unfortunately really bad in most places in America. Partly that's because of how much space we have; partly it's a question of priorities.

Re: To Non-Americans who have visited America

Modern American houses are flimsier than European houses for the simple reason is neighborhoods change constantly. So, it's easier to knock down a simple constructed house or add to it than one that is built like a fort. Which is why older cities in the original 13 Colonies haven't changed and are usually harder to find space to live in. You can't just knock down a two hundred year old brownstone and build a set of modern apartments on it. Too hard. And we as a country don't like that static aspect. We want the ability to knock down things and restart from scratch.

American chocolate that you get at most check out aisles is not good. However, there is good American chocolate. It's sold in specialty grocery stores and chocolate shops. Worth the search.
