Hi.. guys.. quiet some time after I wrote something.. Well now I am SHARING something what My friend had to say after almost 3 months since he's been to AMERICA.. Let's see what he's gotta say
PS : The copyright has been obtained... ;-)
So here it goes..............
Myth 1
Booze is cheaper than water..only in dreams would that be true...booze
is very expensive just like in India..no party there gives free
booze..in fact like ASAP there is an abbreviated term there..Party at
9..BYOB...it means bring your own booze..
Myth 2
Americans don't drink water...they drink a lot of water..outside every
restroom there are water filters for people to drink water.
Myth 3
American refrigerators are filled with cool drinks and ice cream....no
comments....
Myth 4
Prostitution is legal in every state of US...wrong... in Minnesota (where he stays)
prostitution and even solicitation of it is banned..
Myth 5
American couple keep kissing on the road whenever they feel like...in
his stay till now he haven't seen anyone kissing on the roadside or
anywhere..
Myth 6
Indians are smart...Americans are dumb and lazy..biggest
misconception..they may not be smarter but they are very
hardworking...most of them do two jobs, and save that money to come
and study in college...they value their degree and work very hard for
it...and so unlike in India if a class is canceled students are not
happy...they expect a genuine reason for the class being canceled..
Myth 7
Every American girl is ready to sleep with u if u take her on a
date....there is only one response to it, BS(bull shit)
Myth 8
All American women look good...not true...
Myth 9
Americans don't respect elders... Americans respect everyone....the
elder respect the younger and the young respect the elder..the
respect is not hierarchical but mutual...
Myth 10
There are MCD, subways and KFC's everywhere u see....i am pretty
positive that Bangalore has more MCD, subways and KFC's than
Minneapolis (the place where he lives, and its one of the biggest cities in
northern USA)....
I think now the place what we (who has not been dere) thought it all looked like in movies.. is not the same, after all.. for a moment after reading that.. I even doubted whether he was talkin abt AMERICA !!!.. but as they say some facts r stranger than fiction..
Well I think there might be more than this to come...
Neways I thank SAVIO JAMES.. for bringing out all these so nicely to us.. and for who doesn't know him.. he's a MS student in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics Dept at the University of Minnesota, USA, who has been my batch and dept mate a very good & close frnd in my college life..
