Well it’s not just the tour that
was amusing but the experience of some American culture as well.
I
noted the well-stocked supermarkets, filled with so many choices.

| Typical American grocery store |
 |
| Jalapenos, capsicum of different color, sizes and shapes! |
I was in awe with
the enormous portions of food servings and free refills of American
food.
I was amazed
at their freeways and how devoutly American drivers obey the
traffic laws. American drivers always respect the pedestrian. I like it when
they slow down or on full stop when we’re walking on our way to the parking
lot. I’m amused on how they depend on the voice navigator and Google
maps navi or GPS.

Thanks America for
the abundance of toilets with toilet paper, paper towels and disposable
toilet seat cover.

I think the people are very
friendly. Almost everybody opens doors to you. They greet you
with "Hello" or "How are you?" It is simply a
pleasantry. Always heard them say "please" and "thank you"
to everyone for even the smallest kindness. They even say "Pardon me"
or "Excuse me" if they are coming on your way or almost bumps
into you.
Homeless in
America. They really have poverty in the US just as shown in the movies.
USA was mostly what I
expected, though I have only seen two states. You don’t really know it until
you visit or live in America for years. The three weeks spent in
the States was worth the long journey of uncomfortable seats, cramped legroom
and jet lag. Nevertheless this
trip to USA was very pleasant. I wish I could visit the one and only Big
Apple next time!
