Top 10 Things Americans Do that Other Countries Think are Strange

In my personal opinion, the imperial system is easier, but the metric system is all in tens, and that's probably why most of the world uses it.

In Canada, we use both systems, but I personally prefer the metric system.

Restaurants that have huge portions are mostly the best ones. I went to this Italian restaurant near Disneyland, and they gave us these big bowls of pasta. Hot damn, that was awesome.

True. That's what takeout boxes are for.

We are the land of plenty. *shrugs*

It simply has evolved into two different languages. Neither is better than the other. I can see how it may seem strange, but in the end, we have different cultures and ways of doing things.

For example, a British kid writes "colour." Then the American kid writes "color."

Apparently, we Americans "spell things wrong," but if you ask me, "color" and "center" make way more sense than "colour" and "centre." (Even though British people kind of started the language.)

A thing I noticed when traveling in Canada is how often I saw the Canadian flag. This made me realize how customary it is to see the American flag in the U.S. Americans, you may take offense to this, but it's normal for us to see the flag everywhere because we're used to it.

Once you step outside, it will be strange to see another country's flag all the time. Basically, it's relative to where you're coming from. At least in my experience, it has been.

Although it was the British who invented the word "soccer"...

Apparently in Europe, you're not supposed to tip because the restaurants are expected to pay the workers a living wage.

I had no idea this was unusual until I started talking to a Brazilian online, haha.

Okay, so here's what I mean by that.

Person 1: Hello, fellow American! I'm from California. Where are you from?
Person 2: Arkansas.
*That's it. They literally have nothing to talk about. But if they're from the same state...*

Person 1: I'm from California. Where are you from?
Person 2: *excited* I'm from California! Let's talk about a food chain and/or football team that only exists in our state!

Haha, I've been told this a lot by American and Canadian tourists, especially when I'm in London.

I have recently learned that this doesn't happen in other countries.

Wait, other countries don't do this?

Trump was controversial. British people only heard the bad things because our media is liberal. People in America either love Trump or hate him.

A lot of people hated Trump. I'm not sure, but I think the electoral votes gave him his win.
