Since I’ve arrived in the US I’ve been observing real Americans to see what is that makes you a real one. With a little help I have isolated two major features. One of them is that you MUST like country music. Enjoy a ‘sample’:

The USB Charger Project
So, let’s say that you’re more of an outdoor type. Also let’s say that you kinda of geek and like recording things. For example, recording an path that you walk on through the woods and rebuilding it in an itinerary in Google Earth. No problem. You have a GPS unit and you have the option [...]

The Cure for AIDS
I remember a South Park episode in which Cartman gets HIV because a transfusion of infected blood. To be more specific, the episode is Tonsil Trouble, here: http://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/163542/ Of course he is outraged that he god an incurable disease. The fact that is even more outraging, at least to him, is that almost nobody acknowledges [...]

Another kind of American Dream
Just finished watching the movie: Off the Grid: Life On The Mesa It’s a movie that want’s to be about what the real American Dream is about, but ends up [at least in my case] to be just very disturbing. Short movie description: Twenty-Five miles from town, a million miles from mainstream society, a loose-knit [...]

The Carpool Lane
I was telling you in a previous post about traffic. Now I introduce to you a new notion. The carpool lane. I was quite intrigued the first time I heard this name for the lane. What is it? It’s basically a lane, normally on highways, that is dedicated for carpools. Meaning cars carrying more than [...]

American History
Let’s say you’re interested in American History. More than knowing about some basic facts that everybody know. For instance, what sparked my interest is the Louisiana Purchase. I decided to look into the history of the USA a little deeper. Found a really interesting book called:, hold on, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to American History. [...]

Coins
So my last hobby is related to coins. The 25 cent coins actually. Or the quarter. What could be so interesting in quarters one might ask. Aren’t them all the same? You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all. Actually, NO. They are not the same. Seems that the US Mint found it interesting to have [...]

The McDonald's Nation
So I’ve been watching this “documentary” named “Super Size Me”: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/ It’s about some random guy who decides to prove how unhealthy the Americans eat and want to signal that thing out loud and clear. Nothing wrong with that. Some would call it a civic duty to look after your “brothers and sisters” But I’m [...]
