30 Non-Americans Explain What They Like Best About The United States As an european who has done two roadtrips across the states, the main thing i will remember fondly for the rest of my days is how friendly people in the states are. I talked with busy new yorkers and with homeless folks, had a f*****g bbq in Detroit ghetto with the neighbourhood. I spent the night on a farm in Southern Iowa. Clubbing in Vegas, smoking and chilling in LA.
I had long conversations with people who are so far apart from eachother on the political and financial spectrum that its harder to get it any wider, but i didnt met a single person who didnt treat us very nicely. On top of the hospitality, the smalltalk and s**t felt so good when you come from a country where you are considered a f*****g lunatic if you actually say anything else than "hi" to a stranger on the bus.

That country has it's problems, but my f*****g god what a place it is to travel around as a tourist. I'd recommend the roadtripping for anyone who likes to travel. The country is huge and you get to see everything from deserts into snowy mountains, 50 people villages into massive cities.

Sorry if my english sucks, not my native language.

Edit: i also miss some of the restaurants and the overall superb customer service. You dont get that anywhere else.

I would not have guessed english wasn't your first language. About every other year, I get to spend time with someone from the UK here in the US and occasionally with someone from Australia. It is enlightening to hear their points of view and they generally echo your observations, which, is why it's so annoying when BP puts up posts designed to bring out trolls who don't add anything to the conversation except their bad attitude.

30 Non-Americans Explain What They Like Best About The United States What I loved about Americans I met is the encouragement to try new things.

Like: "Just go for it. If it works, great. If it doesn't, you gained experience."

Here in Germany it's more: "Nah, rather be careful. If you dare to fail, you are a loser that we won't ever trust with responsbilities again."

30 Non-Americans Explain What They Like Best About The United States Your outdoors.

The sheer size of the country means there are so many national parks with a large variety of sceneries.

That said, the sheer size of the country also means you’ll be putting the same amount of effort getting there compared to me visiting a neighbouring country.

Culture is somewhat similar so it makes planning / communication easier, though you’re not exposing yourself to other cultures.

I agree that the size of the combined 48 (continuous) states means traveling between different regions takes the same amount of effort as visiting different regions of the 44 European countries. The OP is wrong, however, about the culture being somewhat similar across the US. ... The fact there is a (mostly) common language disguises the differences for tourists. Tourists probably aren't visiting places where all of the advertising/billboards are in Spanish, or visiting a city's "Chinatown", or visiting where the vast majority of residents are black/African American. Europe has different European cultures, but the US has different European cultures plus ones from Asia, Africa and South America. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . While on the surface it might seem like the citizens of Vermont (who always elect socialist/Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders) are the same as those in western South Carolina, they are as different as a typical resident of Sweden vs Hungary.

I was staying with someone in a fairly remote bit of New Mexico. His wife was a nurse at the local school. I was asked to give a talk to the 7-8 year olds about England and the UK. Most of the kids had barely travelled outside their own state, let alone abroad. It was seen as a real experience for them to meet an English person.

As a guy from Turkey i can say
- they are really easy going and encoureging about talking and blending in. Some europeans and asians can be cold at first so thats a big plus.

- even though they are not well informed about geography or states of other regions, they are willing to ask and learn. Which matters a lot actually.

- and they are really thick skinned. Can take a joke or two. Unlike , Turkey :) or some european states. ( Years of dark humour may ve helped this for usa too)

Sorry if i made some mistakes.

30 Non-Americans Explain What They Like Best About The United States Americans I’ve met are usually a delight to talk to. Very upbeat and talkative from my experience.

I still remember a conversation I had with a small family who were on holiday on holiday where I live. They basically told me their life story and what they were up to that day. Didn’t know them but it made my commute home more interesting.

I was staying in New York with a online friends. A friend of theirs was celebrating his 50th birthday by inviting about 20 of his friends to a little Italian restaurant. My hosts were invited so I got invited along too. He knew nothing whatsoever about me, other than that we had mutual friends, but I was treated like a special guest he was delighted to have at his birthday party - he paid for all the food, including my meal. It was good food too.

30 Non-Americans Explain What They Like Best About The United States For me personally? The schools and the school system. I moved here about 12 years ago from SA when I was still a kid and yes while the education (meaning: what you learned in class and how stricter rules were) was much better where I’m from imo i was so shocked that schools here had soooo many clubs and after school programs/activities and even classes? i can’t imagine taking theater as a 12 year old over there!! i also love how involved parents are in school events and programs there was also a lot of involvement from parents where i grew up don’t get me wrong but it’s different here i also really love how teachers decorate their classrooms a lot more? I haven’t been in an actually school in years but i have the fondest memories of my 5th grade class being so decorated and pretty lol im a cornball but really appreciate American teachers for that

30 Non-Americans Explain What They Like Best About The United States Complain.

I know it sounds weird but it's something you'll notice when you live in a passive country.

It's normal here to work Monday to Monday, not get paid overtime and work multiple jobs at once but be paid for the lowest one. It's insane. They just bend over and take it. Americans, at least, make a scene as much as they can when s**t seems unfair for them. Even if sometimes it's something stupid.

2 things I immediately thought of 1. Bbq I've eaten in a number of different bbq places and they've all been great. We have a few in the UK but nothing like the States. Oh and independent burger places where the burgers are homemade in house there is nothing like that here. I'm on a mobile ( cell) phone so excuse the block of writing. 2. Being able to turn right on a red light if it's clear. Turning left at a red is the equivalent here. It's a great idea and works really well. I guess that 3 things not 2!!

The fact they have some pride in their country.

Here in Britain it's considered a bad thing to wave or display our national flag other than with a few exceptions like sporting events and royal weddings. Even saying you are 'proud to be British' is considered some kind of far right dog-whistle or something. We are instead supposed to just sit there quietly contemplating all our failings and feeling bad about things our distant ancestors did 200 years ago. We have taken self-loathing to a new level.

30 Non-Americans Explain What They Like Best About The United States Thoughts from an Australian that has visited the USA:

American BBQ is fantastic. I still haven't had brisket anywhere near as good since coming home.

Your large population has allowed for more flavour choices to sell well enough to be profitable to produce. As an example, here in Australia we get none of the Bacardi flavours and only a handful of the flavoured vodkas (I'm talking bottles, not pre-mixes, btw) - your stores have six or seven different flavoured white Bacardis and an entire wall of flavoured vodkas. (Also, anyone coming to Australia that is willing to use their duty free to bring me Bacardi Banana, please hit me up - that stuff is amazing, but import duties are nearly AUD$40 per bottle to get shipped here).

American Football is without a doubt the best sport on Earth. Harder hits, more athleticism and much more cerebral than rugby, soccer or AFL. That sport was great enough to inspire me to travel across the globe and build a holiday around the concept of getting to see my Packers play live just once.

Your people - when they choose to be - can be some of the most giving, lovely, helpful people.

That Southern Belle accent is ridiculously hot. It is kryptonite to my will-power.

Never seen Bacardi Banana, but you can get Bacardi Raspberry and Bacardi Coconut. Captain Morgan has a few funky flavours too. But the point about bigger population providing opportunities to have a wider range of products is definitely true. There's a lot of stuff I wish we could get here but we just don't have enough people to make it viable.

Really talkative, positive and confident. I also really like your patriotism. I am from England and I couldnt really care less about the monarchy but oooo boy do you guys love your flag

Edit: I love my country and I am proud to be English. I would fight for our way of life. I just dont feel anything for the royal family

It's mostly the older folks who like the monarchy - according to opinion polls and my own personal experience. The rest of us really are not that bothered about them and many would like them gone.

Isn't that normal? I understand that most places charge for mineral water but if you specify you want tap water isn't it always free?

Most of the non-political stuff that comes out of America is pretty exceptional. I like American culture, media and tech in general.

I’m American, but I live in Europe. Something that always astounds my European friends is the fact that I have a driver’s license. In the area of Europe where I live, it can cost something like €2000 to get licensed, so I’ve had several Europeans express jealousy that so many Americans are able to drive.

(Of course, in America it’s a necessity to learn how to drive, since our public transportation is terrible.)

I heard the community colleges/ junior colleges don’t exist in some other countries. I spoke to someone who failed their exams for university in their country and they’re basically f****d. In the US you could probs have an easier time fixing your life with CC

Depends on the country of course. In Australia there are private and public universities and TAFE college. You can get credit for courses at the cheaper places that still count towards degrees. TAFE used to be more trade skill oriented, but it has a much wider range now (maybe it always did but wasn't perceived that way). Even the "standard" universities range in quality/reputation/price greatly.

Actually, my wife and I (americans) prefer British TV and Movies... American TV and Movies seem to be remakes of the same old thing, reboots etc....or.... Americanized versions of british TV series. With the exception of "The Office" I have yet to see one Television series based on one from the UK that was even close to the original. Most just plain suck (e.g. Life on Mars)

IMO the best gift modern US has given to the world. Not commenting on the industry standards or practices but a lot of great entertainment comes from the States.

American patriotism is both unnerving and very entertaining - once visited a Navy airbase in North Carolina and the gigantic sign outside, 4ft letters hewn from rock read “pardon our noise; it’s the sound of freedom” I had no idea team America was basically a documentary 😉

That sort of uber-patriotism (which is phony as hell IMHO) is found mainly among right-wingers. The rest of us are a bit more laid back about it. ;-)

30 Non-Americans Explain What They Like Best About The United States I find that Britain really has a mindset where people resent others for doing well. There's still a remnant of the "know your place" attitude which manifests as wanting to see successful people "brought back to Earth". I really like that the US doesn't see aspirational as a dirty word.

Yep, in Australia we call it ‘tall poppy syndrome’, same thing - don’t get above your station. Americans, admirably, don’t have it

I think it's because the appeal of Top Gear was the presenters rather than the actual content.

Their cars, i mean, the Chevy Corvette is f*****g awesome, and the whole thing with trucks is pretty cool too. Not to mention their racing series, the Daytona 500 is the Super Bowl of motorsports, and the NHRA drag racing is crazy

There's a lot of rich-shaming in Europe, especially in France. Now, I'm not going to clap for billionaire clearly exploiting their exployee in giant society like Amazon, but I do respect succesful people who worked hard and get money out of it.

In France, you're shamed for having a nice car. In US, you're applauded. This is the spirit ! Other people success is not a threat to your life, it's an inspiration
