a dozen impressions of US


A dozen impressions of US after my first visit :

1. No other country can produce those gorgeous HARLEYS as US. Each machine is a piece of beauty.
2. Any damn parking place you go and you will find spaces reserved for handicaps.
3. 90% of the things you get in US are "MADE IN CHINA", 5% are MADE IN BANGLADESH, 3% are MADE IN INDONESIA and rest 2% are probably MADE IN US (not sure though!).
4. Their is a STANDARD in which all main doors operate, "PULL" to enter and "PUSH" to exit. And if you find any main door which opposes this standard, you can hang me!
5. Stop the supply/production of meat and cheese in US and 98% of the people will die of hunger. The other 2% are indian vegetarians!
6. The chairs in salon are faced towards the wall and not toward the mirror.
7. Cars have number plates only at the rear!
8. Their are more number of chinese in the US than in China!
9. Its cool to say "COOL".
10. 90% of the adverstisments on the televisions are of medicinal products, 8% are of teleshopping products and 2% are of insurance products.
11. Britney Spears, Hurricane, Illegal immigrants, Democrats and Republicans are the words used most by the US media.
12. Me: "Which place do you think is safe and good to rent a house?" The Hotel Manager: "I would not be able to suggest any, as people can charge me of discrimination.". You can get such answers only in the US.
