Americans. From a British Perspective.

I don’t find it difficult at all.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Matt what is it about Florida you don’t like? It does get hot as shit…

[Matt]

Mostly the people. I’m pretty liberal and Florida is welcome to fall right off into the ocean after the dickhead retires there.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Matt oof sounds personal

[Oaktavia]

There are awesome state parks there- particularly Manatee Springs State Park. Definitely the most beautiful state park I have been to. Didn't see any manatees but we saw an otter.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Oaktavia every time I’ve been in the gulf we have dolphins come up pretty close. I’ve been seeing them a lot in the bay recently too but the water ain’t as nice up here.

[Matt]

Id love to visit the National Parks. Before theyre turned into AI Data Centers.

It’s got beautiful birds & flowers.
I can see why people liked it 100 years ago.

We’re really fortunate here in the states to have an insane diversity of landscape and people.

[ChadwickBelts]

@WhiskeySandwich The heat, and the rain both surprised us in equal measures!

[endo]

The landscape of people there undoubtedly covers a diversity ranging from sanity to insanity — of a kind rarely found elsewhere.

[Matt]

The entire east coast is burdened with heat, humidity and rain, from Florida to Maine. The only variance is how long it lasts.

America, they are clearly our people. We are the same.

Not sure where you're from man, but that's an amazing attitude.
Just to be absolutely clear—all of America?

Thank you all for a vibrant discussion and sharing your personal experiences. As a mod, I need to remind everyone of the rules of the forum. Please no discussion regarding politics (so far, so good) and to be kind and respectful towards each other. With so much going on in the world, we all need a place where we can get away from the daily rigours of life.

This place is meant to be a place where we can relax and enjoy each other’s company. Please keep it that way.

Thank you.

[Matt]

I will say this and I’ve said it before recently during the World Cup. It’s really nice to hear when people from abroad have unexpectedly positive experiences here. Spread the word, please. We’re happy to get the pr boost.

I hear the mice in florida can be up to just shy of 6 feet tall and can talk

[Tago Mago]

@Anesthetist now you're just being goofy

[1WayTrip]

I have not been over to America in years since getting married and having kids but in my younger days I used to follow Bruce Springsteen round wherever he toured so been to quite a few different states.

I met awesome friendly people in each and wish I had stayed in contact with them all.

Times are hard but there is still more good than bad.

@Anesthetist @Tago-Mago Took me too long to understand these jokes...
