It’s very pretty. Like there are truly, wonderously beautiful places in the us. There’s genuine wilderness. Not much, but there’s some. The people can be very cool. There’s a lot of good food.

I drove through the Rockies a couple years ago (California -> Nevada -> Utah -> Colorado) and it was breathtaking. Every hour the terrain changed shape and color into something more beautiful. I never saw anything like it in the Bible Belt where I grew up. Literally all I did was drive on the interstate to get to my destination, yet it felt like a vacation.

It’s a gorgeous drive. You’re in the desert the whole time, but I never knew there were so many kinds of desert.

I hope sweet tea is as horrifying to non-Americans as it is to me.

You’ve gotta try it though. Make some black tea. Pretty dark. While it’s hot put like two spoonfuls of sugar in it. Then put some ice in it until it’s cool. It’s very good with lemon too

It sounds really unhealthy and that’s because it is. But damn it is good

the free access to public bathrooms is increasingly less true for parts of some cities that are trying to be hostile to the unhoused population.

lots of locked bathrooms and “CUSTOMERS ONLY” crap. very exciting stuff to experience if you’ve gotta go while walking around in an unfamiliar city.

when people complain about shit and piss on the streets of their city, as far as I’m concerned they are telling on themselves for living in a city that gate keeps extremely basic facilities.

Having the privilege of running a business should mean having to offer a restroom. Full stop.

Diversity, both of people and geography. You can find a much wider spectrum of people (ethnicities, etc.) than in many other countries, and experience almost every biome the planet has to offer with some truly spectacular natural features.

We are, of course, doing our best to get rid of both those positive things.
