Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

NFL is pretty good. better than the other sports although Ice Hockey is alright I guess.

Having never been there I would need to go with their TV programmes, well some of them, like 24 and CSI, though the original CSI is better then the spin offs.

Wow. I've spent my last 24 years trying to remove all forms of American TV from my life (except for Red Sox baseball).
I'll swap any of you Euros all my TVs for any curry recipes you have laying about.
Re: What I like about the US!
most of the people are really nice. Outside of the U.S.A. people say that American friendliness and helpfulness is all fake. It isn't. I really like home but it's so doom and gloom and F*** everybody but the U.S. seems to have a sense of hope. It's nice
Re: What I like about the US!
The sense of optimism the place projects. Its misplaced, of course, but its refreshing.
Also people seem to be really polite compared to the UK. Even in Noo Yawk. (OK, they aren't REALLY polite in New York. But they are politer.)
The fact that Americans seem to have 25 hours in the day. Or anyway, however they manage it they seem to get more done than I could.

This is a prejudice I also used to believe in when I was younger - however, I realized that this is only half of the truth.Originally Posted by Taffy_is_a_Taff
IMHO, you might indeed see more "superficial" friendliness and friendship in the US than e.g. in Europe.
However, you get this "superficial" friendliness and friendship on top of the genuine friendliness, that you also have in ample amounts in the US.
Personally (and especially as a foreign visitor) I definitely prefer some "superficial" friendliness and helpfulness over receiving no help or unfriendly reactions
