And you had to pay for toilet paper...4 squares is all u get! Unless you pay more for extra!
-
While visiting Russian seeing family, at the train station, you had to go to the bathroom in a hole in the ground. You had to qwuat. Nothing to hold on to and no privacy. Makes you appreciate American plumping!
-
Wait... People have to pay to go to the bathroom..? That's horrible. I'd die
-
The laundry places! They are the best sooooo big
-
sorry ladies I'm from so cal and we are pretty relaxed and smiling often😋the free bathrooms I do take for granted as well as the toilet seat covers, that they do not have in public restrooms on the east coast!!!!
-
Well soon it might change after election . Who knows
-
10!!!

Not that true actually. When I was in Europe people would always ask if I was American and when I said no, they were like oh good! It was odd

I don't agree with number 5, Americans are not that friendly sure they'll help when a person asks something but they're not that warning as Latins. No hate just a comparison.
-
I don't understand the comment about stalkers. I have lived in the Midwest, Nevada , and east coast and never had a problem going out by myself. Shopping, running even at night, running errands, working on the Vegas strip, etc.. And never once had a problem.
-
I'm a American from the south and the people here suck not all people but I have yet to see a person walk around with all smiles
-
Chanel- the east coast is very different from the rest of America. if you travel to the Midwest or the south, you will find that civilians tend to be much more approachable/friendly. I am sorry to hear about your experiences in NYC.
-
Free bathrooms are like a blessing
-
Kinda hard to get a US visa I guess.
-
All of this in Britain-except target 💫 personally I think England is 50% better lol
-
Its truw that you have to pay for bathrooms in Europe
-
The only thing I didn't like in America was that as a woman, you can't go anywhere by yourself! You can't go out late without anyone else! There are "stalkers everywhere!

Have been several times to the States. Love travelling around there. Huge open spaces like the ones I miss in Africa. I live in UK being English. Travelled around Florida,Arizona ,Nevada and visited San Franscisco. Always found people approachable and friendly. Usually public toilets are spotless - some of ours are ghastly !
-
My family members came from Sicily, Turkey, Switzerland and none of them ever wanted to go back. Not even to visit. And this was prior to free refills or Target.
-
@E it sounds like you're the hateful one. Not all Americans are like that.
-
"5. UNRELENTING FRIENDLINESS We Americans are pretty friendly, walking around with smiles on our faces, always ready to help a stranger find directions and to recommend a good restaurant. That's a plus!" This is so far from the truth! Especially in NYC!
-
I don't know why u think ppl love Americans when in reality when u travel everyone hates Americans and refuses to help them, you're not very friendly and the southern accent is one of the worst accents. Also how bout you're having a huge racism issue and all the "good" stuff u listed can be found & done in Canada, Australia & a ton of other countries Except target cuz uh well that was tried & failed miserably in Canada. I do love San Francisco, NYC, Hawaii & a few other states 😉
-
I have lived and visited America I miss going for happy hour, or restaurants at 11pm most places here in the UK stop serving food at 9.30pm and 10pm and I love southern accents and southern accents in southern men :)
-
Great article Jennifer! I absolutely agree with the free restrooms. Not only is it free to use but it comes stocked(most times) with toilet paper and hand dryers while in other countries you also pay for that. Definitely love living in the good ol' US of A!
-
One problem with this: How can you HATE Target?! It's just not possible!!!
-
I'm from the U.S. and take like all of these granted haha
-
What I loved on New York was the free coffee refills also I loved the fact that you are automatically given a glass of water so you don't have to indulge in soft drinks if you don't want to when I bust America next time I plan on visiting target it sounds awesome yee has!

What I loved in LA is that you can take your bike with you when you take a bus, you simply put it on the bike rack at the front! We should have this in the Netherlands, with our 18 million bicycles!
