Aren't you Canadian
why is that albino child walking alone in downtown detroit
Yes
Big cities look like Sao Paulo even in the demographics
odds are you live within two hours of the border, why don't you go? They sell milk in cartons, it's an enriching cultural experience
I love Americans, but holy shit I will never go back. I had lots of fun but with being incapable of finding regular-priced healthy food and many folk being outwardly rude, it's hard to say I like the country.
I'm hoping it's just wherefore I visited, which is all the four corners for work, but yea.
yeah some people were like npcs and they loved doing small talk
I live about a six hour flight, actually.
You live in the artic circle away from Alaska. Planes go 600 mph.
i liked new york but the subway was full of mentally ill homeless people
Sub-arctic, actually.
>many folk being outwardly rude
I thought Americans were stereotypically very friendly?
I'm sure they are. They often are very friendly when visiting Canada, but having gone to their domain was a bit of a different experience, I'm afraid. Still friends with several, however.
I can literally walk down the road and boom there's a grocery store. Do you know what grocery stores look like? They're a large warehouse-like building with shopping cart carousels and spaces for vehicles of varying size and dimension to park in front of them.
I'm talking about diners and restaurants. Do you go to grocery stores to pick up produce when travelling abroad?
Los Angeles is a fucking hell hole. I get it, Americans are retarded and hate walkable cities, but is it really necessary to have such an abortion of a public transportation system?
alternatively there are produce or specialized markets where as one might imagine produce and agricultural byproducts and specialties are on offer from either local farms, or locally sourced varieties and crafts.
You couldn't find a restaurant? what's expensive to you? $12?
With any foods that weren't fried, doused in sugar or corn dogs? Depends on where I went but an appetiser bowl of soup almost was the same price as an entrée.
The first time, the first day I went to the US was amazing. The border guards were nice and friendly. I walked along the pedestrian mall along beautiful brick architecture while having some hot dogs. It was easy to get around the other parts of the city because all busses were free. In the evening of the Indian summer day I took a walk along the lakeside through the big green spaces before heading back home across the border.
The city I went to? Burlington, Vermont.
I take it you visited a major city and were visiting restaurants near your hotel
It's way easier to get healthy restaurant food in big cities
you can get food that's "healthy" literally anywhere, he's bitching about price
I've been to the US once, on a flight layover in Houston. The water there tastes like trash, and it wasn't even chilled, but warm. The PA was first in Spanish, then in English. Everything was dual language, like up here with English/French, but Spanish.
Yeah, the Americans I've met (tourists up here) or the people down there were friendly. Likes to talk a lot. Or maybe it's just Texans. (they had no Texan accent)
And scarcity.
