Again, american. French people eat there sometimes, doens't mean they eat there all the time.

The point is americans go to another country to 'expereince the culture' and then systematically avoid doing so at all costs.

Just like anon tries to 'read' a 800 page novel by not actually reading it, and then gets called out by their teacher who knows anon is a tryhard who didn't even know what the horse is called. sort of like saying you ran a marathon by running mile 1 and mile 25 and you road a car from mile 2 to mile 24. it's totally the same thing as running 26 miles! right!

at least the lit teacher didn't ask anon to blow him. if i'd been his teacher i would have, seen that anon is a useless idiot and that's all he'd be good for in my class and i suppose the lit teacher only likes him because he's pretty. maybe has a whole Death in Venice thing going for him.

fake: anon's lit teacher liked him because he was a smarty

gay: anon's teacher liked him because he was submissive dumb 'lil bitch

    Eeeehhhh... More or less.
    Anyway you can't experience that much in the few days most US people have available. Remember that they have to go to London, Paris and possibly the Riviera, Rome, some place in Germany, and maybe two or three other places, all in the one or two weeks that they can spend in Europe before their boss requires their presence back behind their keyboard. It's a vacation of sorts, but it's also a game of tag.

    Faced with so many changing vistas, they are bound to give up and enter a Mc D at some point. You would do the same, except that when you go abroad, you can just stay somewhere for a month and actually see a country if you like (assuming you can afford to, but then, visiting Belgium is fine too). So anyway, what I mean is that you have to account for the culture shock, which exists for them, although I'm not sure visiting a foreign Mc D will attenuate that. Because they are probably way more foreign than they'll likely expect.
