What do Americans find strange about the UK?

From an interview with Stephanie Garcia：

She said a lot of interesting differences.

I grew up in California but have spent about four years living in various parts of the UK – South, Midlands, and North. The first thing

I noticed was that my West-Midlands host family did not sound like the queen. I’ve since learnt that accents change every five miles

or something insane. As far as America goes, I can tell the West Coast from The East or the South, but I couldn’t tell you a state, much less a county. And Americans often find it difficult to know if the person they’re talking to is even American, or if they’ve come down from Canada!

The next thing I found a bit bizarre was the quiet, stare ahead norm of public transportation – if you talk to somebody on the Tube,

you’re probably a serial killer (or a lost tourist, which to a Londoner seems to be just as bad). I’ve had to deal with the Tube from Heathrow to Victoria with heavy bags more times than I care to count, and Victoria Station is not exactly tourist friendly. Each time

I’ve had someone walk up and ask to help with my bags. Not once have they been English.

I think this interview is interesting. Each country has its cultural differences, geographical differences. For example, children of all countries play the toys are not the same. China kids like play toy car, the USA prefer tangram and electronic toy，Europe favorite plush doll and so on.

NO matter go to which country, we should respect the difference. As the saying goes “Do as the Romans do”.
