The world is so big, I want to go and see, for the world's strongest comprehensive strength country - the United States, few people have ever been here, people who have the "American dream" are very yearning for American life, thinking that the air in the United States is sweet, The moon is rounder than in China, but these are all learned from the Internet, the world is so big, those unseen landscapes, far more vast than you imagined, those who see in books, what others hear, are not as real as you set foot on that land, understand clearly what life in the United States is like, and then make a decision!
The United States is a highly developed capitalist country, since 1871 is the world's largest economy, but the United States' strong strength is obtained through the means of purchase and war, which is nothing to be proud of, the United States is full of "hooligan" atmosphere, because of its strong economic strength, innovation ability, talent training mechanism, open and inclusive social environment and pluralistic and free national character, attracting elite talents from all over the world, but the United States is also a huge gap between the rich and the poor, the human touch, I have been to New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and other cities in the United States, for the United States, only if I have been to have the right to speak, let me talk about my views on the United States!
About gastronomy
For friends who like to eat fast food, it is certainly right to come to the United States, the most common food in the United States is hamburgers, cola, fried chicken, cakes and the like, but what many people don't know is that these so-called "foods" are the foods that only the poor in the United States like. Meat and vegetarian matching, will not blindly pursue satiety, otherwise, can only be reduced to a digestive machine, on the street in the United States can often see two or three hundred pounds of fat, in the United States, from a person's figure can roughly judge his social class, you know, the United States fast food is cheap, vegetables and fruits are expensive, a vegetable salad is 8 dollars, a lettuce 2.5 dollars, a burger 2.99 dollars, a hot dog 1.5 dollars, the same is to fill the stomach, which one to choose? The answer is obvious!
It's not that the poor in the United States don't like to eat vegetables, but they really can't afford to eat them, compared to the cheaper fried chicken and hamburgers, even if the calories are high, there is no choice, the reason for the obesity of the American body is the uneven distribution of wealth in the United States, so the poorer the people are fatter, and even fall into the cycle of eating more and more fat, having to eat, the interests of the food industry are entangled, catering to and exacerbating this trend, Americans' daily food is hamburgers, fried chicken, cola, chocolate, cheese, peanut butter, ice cream, doughnuts, cakes, Surrounded by high-calorie foods such as cookies and brownie cakes, these foods are the most popular for children, young people, and old people in the United States, and now the fast food culture has begun to spread in the country, which is not a good phenomenon in the long run!
It's about security
Friends who have not been to the United States often see the scene of "zero dollar purchase" in the news, this is not alarmist, but it will really happen, you can see many black people on the streets of the United States, beautiful single women will understand how frightening the phrase "from the male gaze" is, when tourists come to the United States, they must not go to the gathering place of wanderings, such as Eighth Avenue in the Chinese community of Brooklyn, New York, you should not venture out at night, it is recommended that you come to the United States for the first time, do not pay attention to the conversation of strangers, Don't dress sexy and revealing in the crowd, don't show your wealth, don't get close to drunken people, beware of motorcycle teams, beware of bicycle teams, beware of masked people, single women should especially pay attention to being followed on the night road, when encountering police, be sure to obediently stop and wait for inspection, put your hands on the steering wheel, don't make too many movements, and be sure not to get emotional!

2. Don't think that the United States is a developed country and think that there are high-rise buildings everywhere, not so, except for New York, Washington, Chicago and other big cities can see some prosperous scenes, most of the cities look like "towns", this is because the United States has many buildings are full of age, the United States has 9.37 million square kilometers of land, but the population is only 333 million. The land is vast and sparsely populated, the real rich people in the United States do not like to live in reinforced concrete houses in the city, but like to live in a single-family house in the suburbs or the countryside, with a separate garage, basement and garden, friends who have watched American movies and television dramas should have the impression that most of the middle class in the United States live in this kind of suburban villa, and they drive to the city to work, and they seem to know how to enjoy life!
3. The United States is a country with a very serious waste of resources, they don't know what it means to "hoe the day of the noon, sweat drops into the soil", nor do they know what is called "waste is shameful, waste utilization", according to statistics, the average American will waste 1,600 calories of food every day, and all Americans waste about 150,000 tons of food every day, in the eyes of Americans: overnight food is unhealthy, so the fried chicken, hamburgers, Drinks will be disposed of at night, and Americans like to buy groceries for a week, often find that there is expired or spoiled phenomenon, some unknown people think that they can survive by picking up garbage in the United States, but they don't know, those who have the same idea, have become homeless in the United States, in addition to wasting food, in other aspects, the waste of Americans is also worth complaining about, such as: urban street lights are always on all night, office building air conditioning is very low, don't look at the United States population of 333 million only accounts for 5% of the world's total population , but the waste of energy has reached 23% of the world, and even, Americans will throw away obsolete furniture, clothes, books and other items at the intersection for strangers to take away for free, is there no second-hand market in the United States?

5. The United States is a "credit country", an American from study, work, house purchase, car purchase, daily consumption are linked to personal credit, and Americans like to spend in advance, credit cards are very common here, some companies pay wages on a weekly basis, and some companies pay wages on a semi-monthly basis, and because of this, many people like to consume in advance, in a state of debt, and there are not many savings, in the face of the high cost of living in the United States, the cost of medical treatment, The cost of education, many Americans are burdened with a lot of overdue bills, and their parents do not have much ability to help repay, so you can see many homeless homeless people on the streets of the United States, either because of financial problems or mental problems, to take the simplest example: in the United States, it takes hundreds or even thousands of dollars to extract a tooth, and if you buy insurance, it will also cost hundreds of dollars per month, and the overdue bills make the arrears accumulate, and if you can't afford to pay it back, the property will be taken away, plus other living costs, you can only fall into a state of homelessness, and once your credit is damaged, it will be affected if you want to find a job again, soTo live in the United States, solid economic conditions are a must.

Underwear is washed together, this cultural difference is difficult to accept, Americans will not understand that drying clothes, bedding is good, they will not understand what the sun tastes like!

On the shelves are mechanized production, a 300,000 pig scale farm may only need 30 workers, and the price of vegetables is expensive, natural reason, farmers plant independently, mechanized harvesting, vegetables purchased from the supermarket because of their high harvesting costs and labor costs lead to high prices, many agricultural products enterprises in order to pursue the maximization of profits, will only choose to plant agricultural products with large demand and high yield, which in disguise leads to the price of some agricultural products because of scarcity!
