What is it like in America?

[LunarWeaver]

It's full of pollution, obesity, and teenagers pretending to read Nietzsche books. But our flag is pretty and that's what's important!~

It's.... intense.

So I heard America is quite intense too, like Cuba amirite

I adore the Day Lights Savings Time something. Is it an America thing too?

[scrumpleberry]

Never been. I figure there's a lot of beautiful scenery. And guinea pigs come from america, don't they..?

As for the people, I dunno. There seems to be some morons and some great people just as there are anywhere.

Vermont is for drugs and hippies

By and large the people are very talkative and friendly. They don't tend to hold doors open for you and (national stereotypes ahoy!) I'd say the people aren't quite as polite as they are here in Britain. That's the feeling I got from Florida anyway. I also know that on one day during any fortnight, there will be a thunderstorm and you'll get drenched; most likely on the day when you happen to be wearing shorts and t-shirt. Otherwise the weather is really nice, sunny and hot. It's a rather nice country to visit, even if I've only been to touristy Florida, but one I'd enjoy visiting again.

The weather thing is pretty well limited to touristy Florida, maybe the west coast, but yeah... when I went to Florida it rained every freaking day of the trip. It was kinda cool and weird at the same time.

Politeness depends on the region, for the most part.

My thoughts on america (in alphabetical order)

Alabama-- it has US space camp at huntsville I didn't really get to experience much of living there though.
Arkansas-- it gets pretty ghetto toward the east and the south, but I love love love NW arkansas
Colorado-- I was there a loooooooooong time ago so I don't remember how the people were, but it's pretty there
Illinois-- I can't remember much about when my family went to Chicago several years ago, but stu and I stopped in Effingham and it was so awesome there. Like seriously, we ate dinner at taco bell, and this biker guy came in and just started talking to the high school girl behind the counter about a presentation he'd given at her school. and this elderly couple came in and teased me about my long john silver's xD A+
Indiana- Indiana (unsurprisingly) is very similar to Illinois and Ohio, the three 'uh which one is which?' states. I took a long involved survey that put my top place to live as Muncie, IN (kentucky was a close second, but I forget the town.)
Kansas- it's really boring to drive through xD Much like missouri. My best friend in high school came from kansas at some point (she came from a lot of places though) and said she loved the climate but despaired of the people. I mean, look how friendly aunty em and uncle henry were in the wizard of oz movie! I MEAN THEY WEREN'T.
Kentucky-- I had to drive through it at night, but it LOOKED like it was pretty! I have a feeling that the hillbilliness of it is staggered north to south (although there are some pretty backwoods places in ohio), but it seemed very well kempt
Louisiana-- I love southern louisiana xD My nearly adoptive grandpa (not related but very close to the family) came from the area and still talks with a cajun drawl. I had a very happy month living in Lafayette.
Mississippi-- I remember being impressed with mississippi when I drove through it to go to louisiana the first time (when I was 7), I haven't really been back since, I'm sure it's similar to tennessee and louisiana and eastern arkansas though
Missouri-- they have cheap gas >:[ *jealous* Maybe it's from being too close to there without spending significant time there, but it generally seems more skummy than arkansas, although afore-mentioned friend has a sister that lives in Joplin now, and my semi-adoptive band-dad came from there, and holy crap WORLDS OF FUN. Never drive through it on I-70. Just don't. Seriously. EVER Someone suggests it to you, you just go ahead and run.
New Mexico-- it left a bad taste in my mouth on the colorado trip; not only did the denny's suck but I forgot my swim goggles at the motel we stayed at ;.; I can't reallygive a more indepth thought than that xD
Ohio -- It impressed me. I wouldn't live there in the late winter/early spring through xD Really nice in the summer. There are skummy places (hi dayton with your gas stations that have bulletproof glass and bars around the counter!), but there are ones that are sterling examples of civic pride. Very similar to NWA but with better summer weather and poorer late-winter/early spring xD The people are generally fairly friendly and down-home in some places.
Oklahoma-- It's not all red neck wasteland! The areas near tulsa are very nice, such as where the aforementioned friend's grandparents live! The climate is much nicer in summer than arkansas (less humidity, THANKS GULF COAST), imo, but still blazing hot.
Tennessee-- Stu and I stopped at a dairy queen on exit 108 on I-65. I think we saw a family of 6 or 7 (or part of one. I'm sure my extrapolation is accurate though), a pot-smokin' crack dealer, his little adoring daughter, his current junkie girlfriend, two of the obese poor, and I don't remember what else :O I'm sure that the rest of tennessee is better and we just got the short end of the stick though!
Texas-- I love houston :O The people vouch for themselves xD

[Hambone]

Well, Texas is okay I suppose. It get's kinda hot and America's youth is a little bitch though.

[Marshall Banana]

I hate eastern and southeastern Kentucky. Eastern Tennessee reminded me of Kentucky (I enjoyed Dollywood, though), and I saw only corn in Indiana.

California is wonderful!

[Shiny]

Baltimore, Maryland is really great even though it smells like fish and crabs. The aquarium is a must see if you go there.

[Jessweeee♪]

Well of course you're not going to like it if all you believe is what you hear on the news xD

[LunarWeaver]

and I saw only corn in Indiana.

Tell me about it D: It is seriously the only thing here. Indiana is like "Be a farmer or GTFO".

[Jessweeee♪]

Illinois is a pretty nice state n.n

I think New York is a dream.

[Yamaneko]

It's alright.
