    Some adjectives that have come up when talking about Americans: naive, self-centered, enterprising, self-confident, old-fashioned, patriotic, superficial…

    It feels like the American people live in a bubble, unable to see the surrounding world too well. Sometimes it feels funny how you consider yourself the greatest nation in the world, when you have so much poverty, uneducated people, a bad healthcare system, violence, inequality…

    I don’t think people over here envy or hate Americans. It’s more about being amused. Stereotypical American? Loud, wears sneakers with everything, has a big, white smile and loves small talk. I think that’s the American tourist stereotype.
