The things I discovered in America.
I have often mentioned in my posts that I have American relatives. My late sister married a GI and moved to the US, but three of her children were born here.
I visited the USA several years ago to catch up with my nieces and nephews. They live in Kansas City, Kansas, but we spent a few days on a lake in Missouri.
I discovered several things about America that I have listed below.
Bacon is finger food. If you tried to cut, it would shatter.
Sausages are sliced, not whole as we eat them.
The concept of free refills.
The term “side over easy,”
Biscuits and gravy, I never tried it, but I wish I had, but maybe not for breakfast.
Doggy bags every restaurant provided them.
When shop assistants say “have a nice day” they mean it.
If you eat pizza with a knife and fork, they know you are a foreigner.
Lakes in Missouri are quite big.
Americans are very polite.
They don’t all carry guns.
They eat a lot.
Waiters enjoy their job.
Golf courses do not have a strict dress code.
Things are cheap.
They have lots of space.
They love an English accent.
My niece has dual British and American citizenship. When she visits the UK, passport control always says, “welcome home”.
American passport control does not.
Have a nice day. (And I mean that)

I owe a Swiss village an apology.
