The 7 Best Things About USA

From the gigantic skyscrapers of New York to the hills of San Francisco, the United States will never cease to amaze us. But apart from all the famous cities and fabulous sites, what makes this country so special? From shopping malls open 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, to “fancy” sweatpants, there are many peculiarities unique to the United States.

Do these facts surprise you? Yet they are among the strange, but wonderful things that only people who have lived in the United States can recognize and understand …

  1. Drive-Ins are popular

Ah, the drive-ins, a wonderful American invention. Imagine being able to order your morning “latte”, your lunch sandwich, and your dinner, all without even leaving the comfort of your car. To do this, all you need to do is roll down your window, speak into a small microphone and your order will be ready to take a few meters further. And all without lifting a finger (except to open your window, of course!). Isn’t there something to be a fan of in the United States of America?

  1. We live in sweatpants (all day, every day)

Have you ever been lazy to put on real pants? For example, when, comfortably seated in front of the television, you don’t feel like getting dressed to go to the supermarket. In the United States, it is possible. Right – it’s totally okay to shop in sweatpants or just not feel like putting on real pants (hello Sunday!).

Sportswear is also a must since no one looks more sporty and active than sneakers and yoga pants!

  1. Everything is disproportionate

From natural wonders, such as the Grand Canyon, to gigantic skyscrapers, such as the new World Trade Center, “big is beautiful” is indeed the motto of the United States. After all, this is the country where hummers, SUVs, and the Big Mac were born. Everything here exists in size XL, including roads and parking spaces (at least that limits complicated maneuvers to park!)

  1. Coffee is always drunk on the way

In the United States of America, it is not customary to sit and chat over a cup of coffee. Americans are on the move, and the United States has always been around with a cup in hand, long before Starbucks popularized this fact. In America, we run from one date to another, coffee in hand, so that we take in caffeine at all hours of the day.

  1. Barbecued pork ribs are part of the national heritage

Ok, it’s time to get down to business. Important Info: No country passes pork ribs like the United States. I’m talking about tender ribs seasoned with hot barbecue sauce, served with fries and a large coke to sauté it all. In fact, I am convinced that this must-have American barbecue should be listed as a national heritage.

  1. University life dominates

It’s pretty cool being a student in the United States: universities are located on campuses, where classrooms, cafeterias, and dormitories are only a few blocks from each other. So, you live in a real student town, where your teacher’s assistant can be one of your peers and the radio station DJ can be your STATS 101 comrade.

  1. Everything is open 24/7

The United States is a country that never sleeps: you can go shopping at the strangest hours of the night – by stopping en route at the drugstore. It is a true shopaholic’s paradise.
