America
I’ve been fortunate enough go to the USA 3 times since January. And each time I go I love it more and more. It may not be fashionable to like America but here are ten reasons why I personally think it’s great!
- It’s a self made country full of self made people: it has an entrepreneurial spirit. Cab drivers talk about night school and where they want to go, there is a real belief that anyone get can anywhere in America. It has a work ethic. In certain parts they give tax breaks to companies that encourage business and create jobs. The UK could learn lots here.
- As a country they have done some amazing things from an engineering point of view like putting man into space, or continuing to lead in aviation
- It’s large with a huge mixture of climates and terrain.
- People talk to you! Unlike the UK where people keep themselves to themselves American’s are friendly!
- New York. The best city in the world.
- The Internet was invented by the USA and they lead in tech (Apple, Google, Facebook etc etc)
- They are the kings of entertainment. Their film industry is amazing. Great TV Shows. And Broadway is amazing. Music too. Computer games too. You name it…
- As a rule it’s a diverse, tolerant and safe place to live.
- They speak english!
- English exiles in the USA (especially in NYC) are so much more interesting than english people living in England!
Of course, before all American bashers wade in, it’s not a perfect country by all means, but I like it and the above is why!
