What are some things foreigners DO like about America? What are some things about it you used to like that we changed?

I was there for about 3 weeks.
I enjoyed most: the Departures terminal at JFK

I’m glad you left. Take all your ugly relatives and countrymen with you.

@Agagagagaga /// Leaving ''hate'' aside: I was sent there for doing some service job.
I am not responsible for people who live in my hosting country (myself, I'm European without having been asked for a ''national'' preference).
I would also not punish my relatives to go there (Americanesia).
As a fact: during this time I had no desire at all to see some of the surrounding landscape. And the people I noticed around weren't catching my interest, either.
So if your butt now hurts - then perhaps because your culture failed (and fails) to look interesting to outsiders like me (smart, educated, world-savvy, competent, and such).
As much as I myself don't expect everyone else to like what I stand for, you could bring up the same maturity.
If it cures your butt: some ''American'' guys (and gals) around here are quite agreeable to me.
It's just: I know places that are a lot better - for me, at least.

Whatever gets you and the other goddamn foreigners out of the country. 👍

@Agagagagaga... I'll gladly recommend your wish to others I know :D

@andreasderjuengere. @agagagagaga. NYC is obviously an immigrant hub more representative of Democrat and Republican policies.

“during this time I had no desire at all to see some of the surrounding landscape. And the people I noticed around weren't catching my interest, either.”

I don’t blame you for not wanting to stay or return if all you were exposed to was a city like NYC. I vacationed there and I didn’t want to stay there. Stuff is over priced, people generally kept to themselves diddling on their phones, and it wasn’t very welcoming if money wasn’t on the table. People I would chat up were very leery with me as if being distrusting of each other was the norm. But I was still amazed at how closed off they were to casual conversation. NYC had some neat things to see, but there is more to the country, culturally.

I’ve worked with others from other countries. Some of the Americans they got exposed to were not the most savory people.

Thanks for your good will, @love_conquers_lust. JFK actually was only my escape location. I stayed in some Connect and Cut place nearby. Admitted: even locals apologized to get me to a place like Newhaven; and assured that otherwheres Americanesia is different. Where in themselves: they weren't :D

I stayed in Massachusetts and Queens for a week on two separate trips. One thing I did like about NYC was how efficient their subway system was. I loved how I could travel hundreds of miles for like 20 bucks and I was really only limited by how far my feet could carry me from station to station. I was also like a head taller than everyone. I looked down on +90% of the people I saw.

You’d have to leave the city and head really in any direction but east to get away from NYC culture. I’m more out in the country and suburbs in a different state further west. Even that’s not uniform because there are a lot of seasonal workers that like to immigrate back and forth between America and their country of origin or from the cities. They WANT to do that to get better exchange rates and spend their money back home.

It’s quite a bit more complicated and it’s hard for foreigners to navigate when our states effectively have open borders with one another and we all primarily speak English. They also haven’t been around very long. Our only true culture we have is American, we’re not as rich as Europe.
