Hi European here.
I always heard America is pretty competitive and that the people are very direct/speak their mind.
I’m quite the sensitive person, so I was wondering if it could be hard for me if I would ever go to America and if I needed to become more “tough”.
And would someone like me even be welcomed or would I be rejected?
'Murican here. We’re home to every personality under the sun - if you feel like the person you’re dealing with is an asshole, they probably are. Disengage and move on - you’ll find pleasant people.
Given the political disaster we’re about to dive into, you might want to wait a bit to gauge how we treat our guests over the next few months - we’ve definitely set the stage to go full Nazi, whether or not we actually do remains to be seen.
Fucked up politics aside, welcome aboard if you ever decide to visit!
Okay. I hope you guys have my favorite candies overseas which are Reese’s peanut butter cups, Little Debbie and Pop Tarts.
We’ve got multiple sizes and flavors of all of the above. If sugar and junk food are what you’re after, this is definitely the place. Reese’s just came out with a larger than normal cup with a glob of gooey caramel under the peanut butter… if you’re not opposed to flirting with diabetes, it’s pretty great :D
Hell, most of our ‘normal’ food probably qualifies as candy to the rest of the world - we can definitely hook you up!
The good thing is I somehow just can’t gain weight but I also don’t eat too much junk food and somewhat keep the balance.
It often frustrates me that we only have McDonald’s, Burger King, Subway and KFC here. I always wanted to try stuff like Taco Bell, Wendys, Jack in the Box and In n out Burger.
I prolly spent my whole childhood at McDonald’s (we ate there at least 4 times a week) and I always wished we had other chains. But that was the closest I could get to an American environment as a kid.
