Cultures and Clichés

Hey everybody,
I was reading an article titled "Fat-Free and Happy" some time ago in the Time Magazine and it talks about cultures & clichés. I thought you might be interested because there are so many cultures & clichés all over the world and everyone knows that clichés die hard.

Basically what it says is that the USA are in some points different than the European people think. America has a culture of its own, different but still culture. It is also said that it is true, that everything is bigger in the USA and the people eat a lot of ice cream but with 0 per cent fat.It is also mentioned in the text that America is tolerant in other ways, concerning the gays and lesbians. What surprised me most was that the waitresses are friendlier in the USA than in Europe.

I am sure that the European people can learn from the Americans because they are always one step ahead. And now let me know your opinion  about America, cultures & clichés. You can leave a comment below.

So you show the cook that it was good. You have finished eating by laying your knife and fork parallel on your plate. Now I want to tell you table manners and eating habits in our family. During the week, I never eat breakfast because I do not have enough time in the morning to eat something. When I have a long day at school, I eat something for lunch from the buffet at our school. If I have a short day, I take the bus and my mum usually cooks lunch f...
