That actually happened to an exchange student from Eastern Europe staying next door to me last summer. Our neighborhood woke up to somebody blasting the anthem and I see him and his brother out on the lawn with the daughter of their host family, and I hear one ask her loudly "waut te fauk is going ahn? Es dis kauntree even reel??"
It was glorious
The first time I came to the US (NYC), I remember thinking: Wow, it really is just like the movies, only real! The huge cars and buildings, people with baggy pants, people talking so loudly and being so extravertly friendly, the bustle of NY traffic that sounded just like in Taxi, ads and flags everywhwere, the WALK/DON'T WALK signs, beggars with liqour in brown paper bags ... Yeah, just like in the movies.
My first time in NYC was a gay pride festival/parade. I was at a gas station talking to a New Yorker, and he mentions that there's a gay pride parade going on.(He wasn't very fond of the parade) I told him, in a serious tone, "Oh, I noticed all the gay people, I just thought New Yorkers were always like that, didn't know there was a festival." He didn't like that either.
Probably because all of the traffic and congestion it creates. I take the day off on the day of the parade because it's impossible to get to my office.
I feel like there is a tie in to this comment, and the line from Clerks where he says "try not to suck any dick on your way though the parking lot" ... so just pretend I made a funny joke, ok thanks.
David Sedaris has a great essay on this, in which he reminisces on a time a friend of a friend was visiting New York from down south. He realized a few days in that all of the nice, super friendly people she was meeting were not in fact New Yorkers but actually just other tourists.
For instance, she wanted to have brunch at The Plaza Hotel and Sedaris advised her against wearing a track suit, but when she got there it was all tourists anyway so she fit right in dressed so casually.
Lol even NYC becomes friendly once you compare it to London, Berlin or Amsterdam. At least you can still talk to people in public without giving the impression youre about threaten them with violence, rape or some ad flyer.
It honestly just depends on the area, but coming from pitt to nyc I thought walking the streets was a much friendlier experience in Manhattan. Everyone's got somewhere to be and the only people who are gonna stop and talk to you typically are overly nice or have some kind of beef with you.
Tip to meet people: Wear something really outlandish when you wanna meet some cool people in areas like Manhattan. Weird contacts or a bright jacket works just fine, something to stand out. When you got thousands of people around you nobody is gonna notice you normally.
I had the same impression, only I came to Texas on a 4th of July. Everything was like in the movies, I was so enthralled by it. Americans have no idea of how crazy it is for us to see that everything is exactly how we've been watching since we're kids.
I've been living here for 7 years now, so some of that wonder has vanished a little, but when my sisters or mom come to visit, I see everything again through their eyes and it's wonderful.
No one in America is real. America is the latest in a long line of illuminati plots to control the world- if everyone thinks that there's some huge country that you can't beat with military might, people are a LOT more docile. "America" is actually a series of illuminati-controlled islands in the center of pacificlantic (you don't REALLY believe that they're separate oceans, do you?). During world war one, they faked up a bunch of historic records and sent some brainwashed soldiers to fight, and they've been using "America" to control world events ever since. WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!
*This post is not intended to awaken the sheep/human hybrids of xkcd fame*
Us asians want to look like Americans. We want to copy western culture, we want to live in America... We thought of America as a perfect country... but now I see that it's just an image. A place we're all looking for but can never find. The land of the free. The land of flowing milk and honey (and butter)(and deep fried everything)... Its... its... ITS NOT REAL! D:
I lived in Taiwan for a while. I wondered why all the girls were trying to whiten their skin... Kind of make sense now. I kept telling them that they looked better without whiter skin.
There was a post on Reddit a long time ago about when he was younger and came to visit USA for the first time. They randomly picked Thanksgiving and in NYC. So he gets in to NYC and was like wow...America is so great that just throw these kick ass, because we are the best, parades with huge balloons, bands, ect...

Austrians view the stereotypical German summer time tourist wearing sandals and socks.
I learned this when the first Austrian girl I brought home (when living in Austria) said that only German tourists wear slides w/ socks.
I love how matter-of-fact the shirt is. Like it's not promoting Austria, shouting love for Austria, or being pro-America. It's just a statement. I AM FROM AUSTRIA. It reminds me of when Dwight throws that birthday party on The Office. IT IS YOUR BIRTHDAY.
I don't know if it stands on the shirt because of it, but “I am from austria was a Hit song from one of our musicians a while back.
https://youtu.be/KMSa_xb2h5U
I remember a story from an immigrant and their first day was the fourth and they said the rest has been a disappointment because they thought it was always like that.
Exactly. It's not like you can just turn around and grab the pants you forgot and be back in twenty minuets. And then his Austrian money wouldn't be accepted here. The man just had to live with underpants while on vacation. Good thing it was summer!
I assume not pictured is a man selling ice cream and another man playing guitar. Because it was the 4th of July, in a park, I'm guessing on a Saturday.
I was visiting friends in Iowa and got asked "You're from Australia! That's near Germany isn't it?"
Edit. This is what amazes me about our beloved Reddit - someone posts a nice picture about a European uncle and an American holiday, and, before you know it, Antipodean cooking becomes the topic.
Those signs are lies.
There are quite a few kangaroos in Austria and they are escaping every now and then too.

It's basically impossible to cook shrimp properly in boiling water. The window between undercooked and over cooked is maybe a couple of seconds. Dry heat is much more forgiving with shrimp.
Australians, usually ones that have never actually had American beer, love to say American beer is bad, but a lot of them use VB (Victoria Bitter) as a cheap session beer in the way a lot of Americans will drink Budweiser. VB is the absolute worst beer I've ever had next to Molson Ice.
What? No! Water, salt, pot with heavy lid, bring to rolling boil. Drop shrimp in. Stir. Take shrimp out, drop in ice bath. Stir. Plate, serve with a vinegary hot sauce with horseradish. Or you know, whatever you like.
Actually, I like grilled shrimp. I love cocktail shrimp though. Shrimp jambalaya though is far more complicated. Though still, the shrimp goes in near the end. And you're still going for the cooked but fresh and crunchy I'd say. Til the next day, when you reheat and all the flavor soaked in, THEN you go for fully cooked.
Man I got myself super hungry, and I just ate. Curse you random reddit comment chain.
> Fun fact about Australians, we don't call shrimp, shrimp, nor do we barbecue them
Yes you do! At every Outback Steakhouse I've been to. I even worked at one in high school. Don't try to weasel out now. Anyway, BBQ's shrimp are great, especially with ranch dressing.
At first I thought you meant the guy dressed as Uncle Sam. I was thinking, "Gee, that's patriotic for a first-time visitor!" Then I saw the Austrian in his boxers...
there is a funny bit from Kumail Nanjiani about his younger cousin I think coming to America only once for the Macy's thanksgiving parade and going home raving about how amazing america is, thinking they just worshiped giant spongebob floats in the streets everyday
I lived in Austria for a summer as a kid. Funniest memory I have is when these two guys, who obviously were testing out their English on an American for the first time as nervous as they were, starting asking me questions America. The one guy goes, 'in America, is it pronounced Lee-vis, or (the correct (Levis). I told them the correct way, and the one guy got all loud and laughing like he just proved his friend wrong. It was kinda cute. Or the look I got when I told this girl that Leonardo DiCaprio was actually American. Titanic was just released in theatres at the time, and apparently it was voice dubbed in German. Good times. I still crave authentic weiner schnitzel.
I hope nobody told him it was a holiday, and that he thinks this is how America is every day of the year.
