    I found it weird that alcohol seemed to be sold only in liquor stores. But you can buy a machine gun in Walmart.

    That might be a Florida thing(?) Definitely not an Ohio thing.

    The food. Don’t get me wrong it’s nice and all but the quantity. Take sizzlers, you go in order your main meal then get an endless buffet for free. Like I couldn’t eat my steak when it arrived as I was full from the buffet.

    Yeah buffets aren’t all that common… But they’re probably more common here (especially in touristy spots) than other countries.

    • syrup all over breakfast items and people bigger than id ever seen were gorging and then taking a box home too.
    • enthusiasm: grown ass adults whooping and hollering as we were queuing for rides. I’m a man child myself but it was startling.

    Fair.

    • Jaywalking. Wtf

    Yeah… Especially in touristy spots and very urban spots some people don’t care. I’m assuming you’ve witnessed Florida man that cuts across 6 lanes of busy traffic.

    I think the average American normally only jaywalks if the street is pretty much empty and they don’t feel like waiting 3 minutes for the light to change.

      I think there may be a misunderstanding. The concept of jaywalking is nuts to me, and many Europeans. The USA has made it illegal to… walk? In the Netherlands, we don’t even have a word for this. It’s just walking. Traffic participation while not in a car.
