The U.S. has a huge range of cultures within its culture, if you understand what I'm saying.  For instance, the differences in culture between states such as New York and Texas are enormous.  These two states might as well be in different countries altogether.

	The Sweet Desert  +  143065 Thu, 29 Sep 05 07:06 PM I think that Americans are very dynamic and talkative i.e. it's easy to talk to them. I met many Americans in the shopping malls in the Kingdom Saudi Arabia, imagine that some of them'd ask you your opinion concerning the stuff they pick. I feel it's great to try to mingle with others even if you were abroad. There were times when we go shopping in which mom'd call me saying, ' Please dear come and translate, I don't know what she's saying.' I laugh at mom when she do that and I guess she enjoys showing off that her baby can speak a foreign language fluently!!!
