Have you ever had one of those friends that studied abroad or did some summer traveling and came back ~different~? It's not as uncommon as you'd think.
Day-to-day life is not the same in other parts of the world and it's very possible you travel and find out you like it better somewhere else.
For people from other parts of the world, they're kind of baffled at the way we do things here in the USA. Here are just some of our weird little things that people who have visited have pointed out.
1. There were A LOT of food opinions.
why do americans act like fries and chips are the same like NO fries are thin and small and chips are thick and chunky they are two separate things🗣️🗣️💯💯 pic.twitter.com/3j6yxeDJgh

Really craving ketchup flavoured chips right now. Why don’t Americans have ketchup chips? 😭
One thing I miss from the UK while living in the states is a raspberry jam doughnut, why don’t Americans like jam doughnuts and why do they call jam, jelly??????? 🤔
Why do Americans expect wait staff to engage them in conversation and hover around to see if they need water refills or some shit? In most parts of the world, they take your order and bring your food/bill and that's it, like normal people.
12. And yeah, our language rules are confusing AF.
Why do Americans pronounce defence as “d’fence” (that is, correctly) when describing the defence of the nation, but as “Dee-fence” when talking about sport?
why do americans shit on going to college so much? my country doesn’t have universities and to me it’s astounding that one country can have so many of these factories of innovation.
if you don’t want harvard, mit, stanford and the others, please give them to the rest of us! https://t.co/E2hET5aCYf

Why don’t Americans value Soccer as much as other countries do?
Is it a culture thing?
Is it cuz American Soccer is usually seen as a sport for middle-high class kids?
I wanna get to the bottom of this Cuz Soccer is fun af to play
