What do you like about America?

[Reynaldo 0]

The President.

What a foreigner likes/dislikes about America has everything to do with how America compares to what he/she left. It's silly to expect foreigners from India to have the same impression of this country as a foreigner from Canada or Germany.

Who said that they would have the same impression? B)

Germany: Sent out oodles of applications for months. Nothing.

America: I have been here 8 days and have already been to three interviews this week. I have a strong feeling I will be offered two of the jobs. The other one I had to turn down.

Gee, let's think about what I like about the US better...

Freedom of speech....................you can never take that for granted.

I did NOT vote for the food................having been to my wife's country of Turkey several times, I can say for certain that I DEFINATELY prefer the food that the Turkish people eat , compared to ours. American food is way too fattening and there are too many "fast food " restaurants. People here in America don't eat as healthy,.....not enough fruits and vegetables . In Turkey, the emphasis on the kinds of food people eat, is the exact opposite.

Once, when I got off a ferry in Istanbul, at the area where they unload passengers, there was a small stand that was serving baked fish sandwiches, and I bought one. They served it with vegetables etc...

I only wish I could find such things so readily available where I live now. Instead, all I see are wall to wall fast food restaurants like Burger King, Taco Bell, McDonalds, Arby's.....etc.....

I can only imagine if one were to get off of a ferry in New York, what they would find. Probably a "hot dog" stand, or some other junk food......

There's a reason so many people in this country are not as fit and as healthy as others....................and MUCH of the reason, starts with the kinds of food we eat here.

Excellent point not only the type of Food Americans Eat but the portion sizes are outrageous.

Because America is A wealthy nation we consume more than we truly need. We drive more , walk less, & Are driven or motivated by the mighty $, so therefore spend more time trying to earn enough $ to match our consuming hoarding lifestyles.

Americans live beyond their means, majority of Americans are deeply in debt.

So having to work , work to pay down all that spending, where is the time for exercise?

I voted something else, why?

Well, The People, I like people from Brazil better, we're warmer, I think.

The food, I like brazilian food better, actually, I like japanese food best of all, but still, brazilians eat fresher, meatier, nicer.

The cars, I like japanese and european cars better than american ones, but cars in America are cheaper and nicer than in Brazil, so that's a good thing, I guess.

Public transport, have only seen the public transport of Mesa, AZ, and that was inexistent, here in Puerto Rico it's also inexistent and I truly miss how I could get anywhere by myself back home, and here I depend on a car to do it.

The President, ahem, I'll just skip this one, I mean, I don't like my President either.

The freedom of speech, I like to think it's the same as back home, I don't see this whole "Freedom of Speech" as being exclusive of US.

The quality of American products, well, let's face it, american products are now made in China, heck, pretty much the whole world's products are made in China. I dunno what you meant by american products.

The working environment, can't talk about that since I am in PR and unemployed.

So what do I like about US? I like to think that once Luis and I move to Florida we'll have more opportunities.

[Mrs.J06 4]

Which public transport ???

I like the open space, how huge the country is and the fact that whatever you wear, look like or do, people don't look at you funny!

Oh and yes, the hubster of course!
