My sister goes on about how it seems so varied, like one united country with many different states, beautiful wildlife and landscapes, the houses are bigger, people are loud and friendly, and good looking.
I imagine from the movies I have seen that there are so many different cities, with both cool townhouses and skyscrapers, and there's things going on always. And the laws on what you are allowed to do are less strict, so it's free. The North West looks so cool to me, with serene landscapes and seaside towns.
And it's so young and grew so quickly too. The pioneer history always sounded cool to me, if not a little crazy. There are gold mine ghost towns, deserts, mountains, cults, villages, religious sects, beautiful small towns in the Midwest and rolling countryside. You can buy houses for less money too, and I'm always shocked how much cheaper land is, and how houses of a size that would be considered for the rich here are normal/working class over there. And city life looks so exciting! Especially in the movies and shows. Actually, I just realised I'm obsessed myself XD
Yeah, movies always show things in the most extreme light.
Ok I have had time to think it over.
America doesn't seem to have much culture other than people going out and buying stuff they do not need, with money they don't have, to try to impress people they do not even like.
Put it this way - the two MOST American holidays we have are Thanksgiving and July 4th (independence day). Retailers have mostly ruined Thanksgiving by having a "special" shopping day on the Friday right after (aka "black Friday")
Any culture America has or had, retailers have commercialized it so there isn't much left except constant ads, buy this or that, whatever.
What's America Like to Live in?

You should try to see New Mexico and New England. Very different.
