Things I Liked About Americans!

They open the door for the next person to come in or exit. It doesn't matter if they're on the phone, with their kids or even when they're handicapped. They WILL open the door for you. They don’t even work there! It makes you feel very welcomed wherever you go.


  
Saying "Hi! How are you?"/ "Hey! Doing good?"/"Hello! How was your day?" to every stranger they meet (e.g. Cashiers, librarians, Gov't workers).



When my husband wears his Army uniform in public, more than 3x a day I would hear Americans just stopping by to tell my husband, "Thank you for your service Sir!" of which he replies, "Thanks for giving me the chance to do so". I feel very proud of him that I'll probably have to order a leash. Just kidding!^^



They are extremely nice & professional with their work. If they say they'll do it, they will. If they won't, they won't. No pretentions, no excuses.



By the way, hubby and I just watched 'The Horrible Bosses' & I thought I didn’t liked it because I’m not a fan of Jennifer Aniston but it turned out pretty hilarious. But these foul-language movies are the reasons why we have this prejudice against Americans. We think they exercise their freedom to the extreme and too direct with the language that they speak profanities whenever they want. NO. That's not the case. They never scream deplorable words in public places (Unless you see it on the movies) and they are very sensitive when it comes to things like that.




Well, I will surely miss America but I'm so ready for Korea!
