What seemed weird when I visited your country

...
Houston guys in business-suits wearing stetsons and cowboy boots and those leather-thong-tie-fastened-with-a-brooch things.
Gambling-machines built into the tables and bar-tops in a Las Vegas micro-brew pub. Actually, pretty much everything in Las Vegas.

The things you're talking about the Houstonites wearing are called bolo ties.
No other state is even close to being as laissez-faire about gambling as Nevada, so this leads to so-called "one arm bandits" being in just about every public space.

Maybe it's a regional thing, but I have never been in a place that sold beer (apart from cheapo supermarkets) that didn't have at least one Japanese beer in it.

--- Quote from: Mlle Germain on 05 Nov 2013, 13:09 ---After all this talk about it I really want to eat a peanut butter sandwich.
I think one should say here that classic American peanut butter is awesome. I have tried a variety with less fat and sugar, but that wasn't the real thing.

Ugh no, peanut butter shouldn't contain ANYTHING except peanuts (and possibly salt, if you really want it - but I do not).

You need to add a little oil to allow the ground peanuts to blend together better, either a nuetral flavored oil or peanut oil.

Not outside of the country, but still a culture shock during traveling, going North and not being able to get sweet iced tea makes me sad.
