Subject: Travelling in America

I'm traveling around America with my friend from high school. I've never been to the US and only have a couple of family friends there, so I had few preconceptions other than the stereotypes.

I rarely post, usually lurking, but thought America recieves a disproportionate amount of criticism. You guys are SO ridiculously nice. I've been around Europe and East Asia, so I'm a fairly well-travelled person. The amount of hospitality and generosity from all forms of life is a fantastic surprise. All the Americans I've met are kind and fun. I'm talking to a few in a San Francisco hostel at the moment.

America is a great country, despite what often seems like unrelentingly consistent opprobrium. Maybe it's the drinks, but I thought this was worth posting.

"There's a very fine line between not listening, and not caring. I'd like to think that I walk that line every day."

There are decent, and indecent, people everywhere.

Enjoy your stay.

Quote from Confucius

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

I don't know some parts of America seem nicer than others. Still haven't been there though.

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Depends on where you go. SF I found to be nice, but come to the OC where everyone is narcissistic and you'll have a different opinion lol. America is a great place and I'm proud to live here, just not proud of all the people sometimes.

Absolutely. I'm from Australia and we have more than our fair share of idiots. Wish I could stay longer, but only here for 3 weeks. Maybe next time I'll get a taste of the less friendly types!

That's all I have to say about that.

Boy if you think people in CA are well mannered and nice wait till you visit the midwest or the south.
