    Even when Americans watch movies that show how America supposedly is we are wondering, "where is that?" lol

    The driving on the other side of the road would take some getting used to. I was at a college soccer game and spent some time talking to a college student from what used to be British Ceylon, where they also drive on the left side of the road like in India and the UK. He told me that it took about two weeks for him to get used to driving on the right side in the US and interestingly, it took some time re-adjusting to driving on the left when he visited home. We are creatures of habit and this means making a new habit.

    Yes. I live in Tampa Florida and I have been looking for the America I watch in the movies. Finally got a feel when I got to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C.

      I've lived in this country for most of 50 years - I've never really related to the Hollywood version of America - it's a complete fiction. The families in TV shows have nothing in common with me, the talking heads in news programs live in a different world, etc. There's a big difference between Hollywood and New York City and Washington, D.C. on one hand, and "fly-over country" on the other.

    We Americans love accents. What do you think about the food sizes at food places? and Do you notice different American accents?

    • @AladiAkoh
      @AladiAkoh  5 років тому +3

      The food sizes are ok! They’re pretty generous with it.
      As for the accent being different, not until my American Friendship Family pointed it out... I thought y’all have the same accent. 😀
      I really don’t pay attention to it and I’m not sure I will be able to tell the difference yet.

    Maybe I'm just hungry right now but I'd recommend trying authentic Cajun food. If the US has one place where the spice is a little more flavorful that would probably be it

    Your charm is irresistible!!😁 You look energetic.💪 You have a great smile. I love you!!😘 Having friends from other cultures makes me more creative. In fresh ways about space and how people create their own world and environment. It is best way to connect between creative thinking and cross-cultural relationships😘🤗😁Now, the world can be a nasty crazy place out there, we need a lot of courage and we need a lot of resilience after that, and we will fall down before we stand up… What really matters is the silence of the night in our conscience, when we are alone. We cannot control what happens but we can use what happens. We have so much reserves of love and support inside us, if we can just remember that in our mind and move on.

      Everything you said is so apt considering the current world situation. we all need to look inward and decide what is really important. Anger takes more energy while living in peace and love with everyone requires less/no energy

      Full disclosure- middle aged white male, proud American. I love my country but we are so many people in so many places and we aren't always at our best. I can only ask you to keep trying. I know it's hard. I'm American and it's not always easy for me. I can only imagine the difficulties you've faced coming here. I've lived a few places in the US and I've traveled to more. You will always be you, life will always be life but America has a lot of variety and a lot to offer. If you have any contacts anywhere else in the US maybe try a visit. Preferably not big cities or stereotypical American attractions and the like, but visit a friend in a small town or a little trip to look at some odd interest you have. There is a place for everyone here it's only a matter of finding it. I hope you can have patience with us and I'm sorry you've had the experience that you've had
