It still been a bit of a reverse culture shock since I've landed on US soil. Several things that I didn't realize while I was living here for almost my entire life,
- There are a lot of fat Americans. As soon as I arrived at the airport I couldn't believe how many fat people I've seen since then. I bet many many women out here would look so much more attractive if they actually maintained a healthy weight along with their complexion.
- Public infrastructure and transportation is lacking. I really don't understand why California doesn't have better public transportation services. The bay area has the BART and Caltrain but that's about it. What about the rest of California?
- Diversity. America really is a diverse country and I like to see people of all shades of color hanging out together having a jolly ol' time.
- There really is a noticeable imbalance of White male/Asian female couples. I didn't know it was this bad, but it really is everywhere I go in San Francisco. However, I'm not as upset as I thought I'd be since every couple I saw appeared like they were meant for each other. In other words, she ain't hot.
- No alcohol after 1:30am. This is just pure bullshit. No explanation needed.
- America is unsafe relative to other countries. America can be a dangerous place; not all of the US of course, but its up there when you compare metropolitan areas pound for pound. My friend's neighbor got stabbed to death by a homeless woman just last month. Christ!
- People aren't in such a hurry. Work, errands, meeting up people, etc. Let's just chill and take our time.
If I come up with any others I'll add it to the list.
