What is it like to live in the United States?
I ask because I have become a bit fascinated with the USA. It just seems like such a diverse country to me. Naturally we see lots of programs from the USA, but I imagine this does not give much of an idea of what it is like to really live in the USA.
I can imagine that the answer would be very different depending on which part of the USA that you live in.
So, for those of you that reside in the USA, I would be really interested in hearing you views on what it is like to live there (please include which part of the USA that you live in). Things like: what do you do for recreation; what are people's attitudes like; what are society's priorities; how easy/hard is it to get along financially; what are your communities like; and anything else that defines the place you live.
Unfortunately, I have never had a chance to visit the USA, so my only exposure has been through media, which rarely gives a good view of what it is like for an average person.
Please feel free to use this topic to ask others what it is like to live in their part of the world, if you are so inclined. I thought it would be interesting to share a bit of what it is like to live in our own parts of the world, what we like about it, and what we would like to see change.
