A lot is said about the US and not all of it is good. Their politics are obviously completely bonkers, but let's focus on the good things. After all, there must be a reason why so many people dream of living there and making their millions.
Food. Is there anywhere better in the world? The best junk food (oxymoron alert) you will ever find as well as the best BBQ you will come across. Then there's the food of the southern states and the great seafood to be found on both coasts. Mexican on every street corner and food from every other corner of the world. The only other place I can think of with such choice is London. Obviously, it's easier to get beans on toast in London, so maybe our capital possibly just edges it in this field.
The people. Beyond the "Have a nice day, sir" nonsense, I've always found them to be genuinely friendly and helpful. Case in point: taking a bus from Houston airport to the centre a few years ago and I only had $5 to pay for the fare. The driver didn't give change. He told us to get on, not pay and was genuinely helpful. Even giving us directions to our hotel when we got off downtown. Countless other examples of their chattiness and curiosity abound.
The great outdoors. The weather makes it the perfect place to get out and about. You wanna swim at any time of the year? Head to Florida. Hiking? Nationwide. Skiing? You can do that too. Something for everybody
The music culture. Again, along with the UK, surely the greatest place in the world for the bands and the genres it has produced? What the US sings today, the world will be singing tomorrow.
So, TDers, roll up, roll up. What makes the US such a great place in your eyes?
