Observations about Americans - they don't like to walk. Their concept of "far" is walking more than 3 blocks. They love to eat. A :lunch" portion is the size of Manhattan. I would hate to see what the regular size portion is like. And they wonder why they have an obesity problem in the United States? They don't have a problem with shysters. Every corner on the Waikiki strip has tour hucksters who try to con you into something that "isn't a time share" (but it is).
Americans are very friendly towards their "guests" or tourists as we Canadians call ourselves. They are much better at being servers than Canadians. Whether they are a cashier, waitress, concierge, if they are in the service industry they are remarkably friendly and helpful. In Canada those who expedite or serve us are reluctant, arrogant and basically have the attitude that they are as good as the customer. Yes, they are, but at the moment when I am the customer and you are the service person, you ought to give me good service, with a smile. I don't want to see a sour face or reluctance. Americans are good at covering up that side. Kudos to them.
And I must apologies, I thought Americans didn't read because there are no bookstores in the malls. But today we finally found one! Persistence. 6 cities and we finally found one.
