Re: To Non-Americans who have visited America

Sure thing! I'm Australian, and I did a semester abroad in Arizona (but traveling a fair bit San Francisco,, New York, and Pennsylvania). Some of the things I noticed -

- TIPPING. It's, uh, hard not to notice the tipping.

- Related, how cheap the food is. Uh, I realise this works out to not-nice stuff for people who work in food retail.

- The advertising seems different? More... HEY BUY THIS. Also, more voiceovers, and I noticed more infomercials.

- Food. Unrelated to the price. First, stuff is sweeter, and there's this... really weird flavour to the bread which I'd say is due to the HFCS, but I found it in non-HFCS stuff so that can't be it... Having to look specifically for stuff without HFCS. The weeeeird dichotomy of the cheap stuff you get in some stores and the nicer stuff you get at other places, like Trader Joe's - the high-quality stuff was REALLY good, and I miss it. The sheer variety of things! Oh my god you guys have so much vegan food it's amazing and I love it.

- Also, coupons for grocery stores. We don't have those.

- I was renting a room from this woman and she had a friend who would come over some time and just keep his gun in a holster and oh my fucking god no why.

- The fresh corn on the cob is DELICIOUS.

- FLAGS, FLAGS EVERYWHERE.
