Well I'm back from my trip. I had a great time. Some random thoughts about America, none are intended to offend just things I noticed.
1. Food is so cheap, especially fast food & the servings are huge. I think its part of the obesity problem.
2. You have too many TV commercials for Prescription Drugs.
3. Employers should pay workers more so that they don't rely on tips so much.
4. Why does Bill Engvall have his own sitcom?
5. You cars are huge, no wonder you are using so much oil, it must take heaps to move those things around.
6. You guys have too much water in your toilets. We have about 1/3 as much here.
7. Girls in America really do love Australian accents.
8. You really aren't paying that much for gas, we are paying about 40% more in Australia.
Just some random thoughts, so what did i miss here when I was away?

America: Bigger, Faster, and Uncooked!
I don't really have a third word.
Help, please.

But I'll be damned if I let you say anything bad about our toilets!!!  |

Well, yeah. Plus we fry things like cookies and candy and Coke.
My favorites are the ones that don't even say what the drugs do.
But that's exactly why tips exist.
Same reason Tyler Perry does. Anybody can get one / TBS has horrible programming.
Hummers are driven exclusively by douchebags.
We shit more.
*writes that down and drinks a Fosters*
Our dollar is also worth more.

Yeah, like Captain Wonderful just said about the tips, the waitresses wouldn't make as much money on a normal wage as they get from tips.
One girl I knew used to get 100-150 in tips a night. If she was going on a normal wage she'd make just a little over that in a week.

Hummers are driven exclusively by douchebags. I don't know about all that. How did you like LA? I see it as a classy place that looks like the ghetto. |

How did you like LA? I see it as a classy place that looks like the ghetto. I'd say that's a pretty accurate way to describe the place. That, and every store and building has more room than it looks like it does from the outside. |

That, and every store and building has more room than it looks like it does from the outside. Yeah both of those are true. I also thought LA was kinda hectic for me. I liked SD coz it was like LA but more relaxed. |

You know what's odd about me?
When I go to Germany, I want to see the country side, the small towns, the castles, things like that. I don't want to go to the big cities, I just don't find huge cities apealing.
