[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm half American and half Asian, and grew up in both countries.  To natives of my Asian country, Americans are very loud.  They talk loud and do things loudly (big gestures, etc.).  Everything is big-big people, big cars, big houses, big TVs, etc.[/quote]

Hell, I'm American and feel this way.  I also think sometimes there are too many choices.  What would it be like if there were only four types of bread to chose from?  Would our shopping go faster? I'd like to find out.[/quote]

Half Asian pp here.  Americans are also wasteful-throwig out perfectly good food, machine drying their clothes, leaving their car running while they wait for someone, buying huge quantities at once (Costco is SO American!)

Of course, these are stereotypes and not every American is this way :). I am certainly guilty of some of these things myself![/quote]

I am American and have agreed with and enjoyed most of these so far. However, not all Americans are wasteful, no one I know throws away good food, most people do not shop at Costco and most people don't leave there cars running. However, people who leave there cars running when they run into a store to grab something, now that is a hugs pet peeve of mine.[/quote]
