Another thing I found funny about my time in the USA was that people went outside in their pyjamas. I remember looking at my (American) friend and asking her 'Do all people dress like that?' She said yes. This woman was sitting outside at this smoothie bar at 9pm, in her PJ's, eating ice cream. If you did that in the UK, you'd either be crazy or doing a sponsored run for charity.
Also, everywhere I went people thought I was South African! The guy that lived next door to me (drunk most of the time so that doesn't help), he had such a strong American accent that I couldn't understand him!
He'd be standing there going on and on about something and I'd just be smiling and saying 'yes' - but it was a total mystery to me! LOL.
