One week ago I was reading an article at school and it talked about the personal impression of America.
Moreover I though you might be interested because in this article you can read something about the differences between Europe and the U.S.A.
In the U.S.A. many things are completely different, for example they have their own culture. Furthermore the Americans are tolerant in other ways, for example in the relationship between gays and lesbians.
Basically, I agree with what it says about the big shopping malls in America, but also in Europe the shopping malls get bigger and bigger.
