What is it like living in the US? It sounds alien to me. I can't

There's destruction everywhere, it's chaos. Our roads are crumbling, our bridges are collapsing. People are dying on the streets. Please, you have a lot of oil money, please send us aid.

I lived in Texas for a hair under 5 years
This gives me the unique experience of being someone who has gone to the other side of the pond for more than two months on a backpacking trip

ama

We become very accustomed to driving everywhere and long road trips.

I moved back here a number of years ago, and I was quite young when I moved out there so I can't remember everything in great detail and some things will have changed.

From what I can remember, they almost exclusively drunk black tea with lots and lots of sugar. I actually really liked it. You could get it in restaurants which was great.

Speaking of restaurants, the price of eating out was stupidly cheap compared to here. I lived in the 5th largest city in the state and a meal at a moderately priced restaurant there was the same price or even cheaper than a cheap restaurant here. The portions are HUGE. That was the thing that really struck us when my family first moved there, and what struck us when we moved back here. You would never be hungry after a meal out.

I remember the variety of food being great. The quality was pretty good, but smaller chains and independent fast food places and restaurants were much better.

FRIENDLY reminder that Braziu is bigger than contiguous US.

The large size of the US is a drawback, I have no idea why patriotic americans brag about it or whatever

It's annoying as sin having to drive 10 hours from Maine/Vermont to DC suburbs between our houses. Until we get high speed rail, it will continue being a major inconvenience

I vastly prefer Europe over the US having experienced both, night and day to me. A lot about living in the US has never made sense to me or seems dysfunctional

Euros will be accustomed to stringent food quality standards that ban a lot of toxic artificial additives and shady practices, like soaking chicken in ammonia, arsenic in chicken, estrogenic compounds, neurotoxic pesticides etc. If you want to protect your brain, body and test levels you will have to be careful and do your research to buy the cleanest products. Local and organic is best.

>>71469430
It's the reason we have a reputation for not traveling much. Going to another part of the country is inexpensive, and there's just enough variation to keep things interesting while remaining familiar enough to be "home".

>>71469430
Asking what it's like living in the US is like asking what it's like living in Europe. It entirely depends on where you live.

We generally like having lots of space and independence though. Big Suburban houses, big lawns, the serenity of driving by yourself instead of taking public transportation.

Here in New England everything is a short drive away and for the most part there aren't many big cities (except in southern New England) . We can get really bad weather but a lot of the region is occupied with comfy forests so it's worth it if you enjoy being outside and nature. Fuck Connecticut though. You couldn't pay me to live in that shithole.

dont worry bby, i'll give you that greencard

>>71469430
It can be a pain, outside the largest cities public transportation is non existent, but cars and gas are relatively cheap.

It's not that bad honestly. I've lived all over the place (ND, NC, Cali, NY, Alaska) and it's pretty great. Lots of room too, especially in the midwest and Alaska. Can't say the same about commiefornia and NY.

Did you end up hating us?

How would you rate the country overall?

>>71469889
how long ago? if it was 15 years ago for example or you were a child then itd be quite different imo, also the south is a lot different than the north
thanks for your input tho im curious as well

I'm from "le Deep South xD" and most of /int/

>(Tennessee, Kentucky, and currently North Carolina)

Ask me literally anything about the US South and I'll answer honestly no matter how brutal.

>>71479400
Alaska. Weather was only OK, but it was gorgeous year round. I loved it there, but I had to move.

How do people there take to outsiders?

I'm originally from Omaha, but my mother is originally from Quebec and I'm living here now.

I've been thinking about moving somewhere warmer since I hate the winter, but all my work experience and credentials are from "the North" (Nebraska, Minnesota), and Canada. Would I have a hard time finding a job being an "outsider?" I'm a commercial HVAC tech if that helps, I've heard they are especially in demand in Florida, Texas, and North Carolina.

Thanks in advance.

>>71479883
NCfag here, in most places people won't think much of it unless you intentionally make yourself stand out. Also be prepared to see a lot of fat people

whoops sorry closed the thread and only just saw it on page 1

>>71479442
nope
9/11 would live there again

>>71479459
moved in 2003 just after turning 6, moved back in 2008 just before turning 11 (I think)

>>71479969
Being from the midwest I'm used to fatties, much less here in QC though.

I've only ever driven through the South as a kid, but I think I'd generally get along with people there, much better than I do with Quebecers.

How's Colorado?

>>71479609
Not really, only in early winter

>>71480028
Yeah people down here are pretty affable for the most part. Really my only complaint is that it's too damn hot, i had to start wearing shorts back in the start of this month.

>>71480087
Yeah, it's shorts weather year round in NC. Lived there a couple years myself.

>>71480161
>year round
Maybe on the coast, but not near the mountains where I am.

>>71470879
Like Canada, except we don't have to worry about getting shot.

>>71480230
Yeah, it can get cooler up there. I've heard it's a lot less humid there.

>>71479883
Truthfully, nobody probably gives a shit. I live in a rural part that many would call redneck or hillbilly and I REALLY can't imagine anyone judging you for being Canadian let alone willfully intimidate you

>>71469430
living in arizona during the summer is like eating out satans asshole.

we have some western towns like tombstone and some town i forgot up near grand canyon.
lots of mexicans the closer you get to mexico and phoenix is a shithole

scenery is great. winters are cold, flagstaff has pine trees and snow

asu college where you would find a lot of pornos

>>71480062
Pretty good and very pretty. One of the more expensive states but not as bad as the west coast

>>71480287
Yeah, but i'm in the piedmont, so we get like one day of snow, but all the fucking humidity. I don't even go outside in the summer till around 7 pm.

The small size of European cunts is a drawback, I have no idea why Yuropoors brag about it or whatever
It's annoying as sin having to drive a mere three hours and find yourself in a completely different country with a different language that you can't speak.

Non-NYC New Yorker here
It becomes especially apparent how big we are once you reach your 3rd year of high school/11th year of school because you start to visit colleges. Back when I was that age I did a trip where the total driving time was ~13 hours and I had only seen 4 colleges and had been in only 2 states (New York and Pennsylvania), and 7 of those hours were in New York alone and the whole trip was over 2 days.

While I do live in the US the thought of living in places like NYC or LA is alien to me

Basically, our states are the size of your countries.
We have city people, suburb people, and country people.
Once you leave home, where you live and work is up to you.
Some people have trouble with the lack of certainty, others enjoy the freedom.

Why does the USA look so big on the map? Brazil doesn't seem as big.

>>71485659
the world map you typically see was designed for shipping, and shrinks countries around the equator and expands countries towards the poles. Different projections offer different views, but unless its just a sphere its not 100% accurate

Once new a guy who lived on family owned property up near the Queensland border which apparently hasn't been properly mapped in decades simply due to it being too big to explore and they didn't have a helicopter.

I've only been once, but my family wasn't very adventurous. I know they have tours where you can rent pachyderms which will take you to the bottom. I wanna say they have whitewater rafting and kayaking, but I could be confusing it with someplace further north.
