  • Food varies massively between locations.
  • I've never encountered an unfriendly American.
  • I've encountered plenty of unfriendly people from elsewhere.
  • People (especially in the South) are polite and courteous. I don't care if it's fake, it's the thought that counts.
  • Technology. They're always working on new and interesting shit.
  • Space. As a huge, giant space nerd, the Americans are really, really good at space, the universe, and stuffs.
  • Sports. Americans love their sports. I can respect this, even if I hate most sports.
  • They always become intrigued and excited when they find out that I'm Canadian.

I bolded the last one, because it always stands out to me. Regardless of where I am, when I'm in the United States and someone finds out that I'm Canadian, they always seem happy to talk. What I usually hear is, "Oh I'd love to visit canada one day!". Not only does this make my inner Canadian happy, it makes me happy that we are seen in a good light. I only wish that more Canadians felt the same way I do about the United States.

I also love the United States because I am fit, healthy, and have a pretty good looking body. My face may look like it was run over by a dump truck, but at least I have abs. When I was in North Carolina, on the beach, I felt like the biggest badass on the planet. In every direction was a fat man or a fat woman. Unlike other places, I could argue that I was the hottest piece of ass on that beach that day.

it's funny, but when i was in upstate new york doing the small town bar scene, a bunch of these guys smoking found out i was canadian, and they non-aggressively surrounded me asking zillions of questions.

it was slightly disturbing at how open and willing to learn they were, yet didn't do it via any method of self-education
