My Top 10 things about America

Man, I just realized that it's already my fourth year here in the land of the free. So what have I learned since?

  1. Coke is officially the cheapest beverage available in stores. It's so cheap, the going price now is 1/2 the price of drinking water.
  2. America has an really huge problem with obesity. Look around you and one in every five persons you see is overweight.
  3. Chinese food in America fails to resemble anything remotely Chinese. Did we have pineapples in China? Who da heck is General Tsao?
  4. Americans love extreme weather. It's only here that you get to see people jogging outside in minus degree temperatures, and there's the other extreme bunch that love to lie in the scorching hot sun.... thus the term "crazy Americans" comes to mind.
  5. Five minutes of snow is a fantasy. 1 day of snow is a winter wonderland. 1 week of snow is an inconvenience. 3 months of snow is a wintry hell on earth.
  6. When an American asks you "What's Up?", it's fine to reply him with a "What's Up?"back. No one ever knows what's really up with each other in the end.
  7. Piracy here is a lot cheaper than in Asia. High speed downloads are free as opposed to paying RM$9.00 for a knockoff DVD.
  8. Here, it's alright to use a racially derogatory term on yourself or someone else if you are from that particular social group. Got rice, my chink?
  9. American sports is a pain to watch. It's got no flow. Too much start/stop. Go watch a game of baseball or football...you'll see what I mean.
  10. When people organize activities with the attractive "Free Food" boldly written on the banner, you'll probably be eating soggy pizza and lukewarm soda.

More Top 10 Things about America soon......
