I've been pondering this Q all morning, I guess Im one of the people this Q is aimed at.
Im Irish, I now live in Madrid & Ive been to a few different places around europe.

I used to go out with a girl from Alabama, & I know what some people say about Peps from Alabama & Its not true. I visited Alabama, Atlanta, Florida for a bit too. Had a fucking ball, Loved the weather & gulleywashers are mental.
I met some wonderful, interesting people in the US. Musicians, Freaks, Ravers, Some guy in a second hand record store. (Im a bit of a wierdo) Guy in a kids toy shop. The Mall's pretty cool. Went to 6 flags, too crowded. Ball game too, Go Baves!
I also met some really strange people. Some Americans are annoyingly patriotic (sorry). Alot of them, especially young men, seemd to me a little hostile because I was from another country, Like they had to proove something. Teenage boys were worse, very macho, always wanting to arm wrestle or something. (please, no offence intended)
Im not blowing my own trumpet here but alot of girls over there were very affectionate to me, much to the frustration of my GF.
I felt sometimes like I was on display, The GF's parents forcing me to go to thier church (cult) & talk to old people who didnt know what to make of me.
I met a guy at a truckstop who didnt know where Europe was, never even heard of it! Thought it was in New Orleans. I think that guy was what you call a redneck. Speaking of rednecks, They sure do like thier trucks. & Nascar, fuckin ell, Nascar nuts.

And whats this about:

Me: Im Irish
Some Guy: No way, me too.
Me: Fuck!, really, where are you from?
SG: Birmingham.
Me: Riiiiiiiiight.

Having said that, almost everyone was super friendly, I think I answerd a million questions, Hospitality cant be faulted, Airports are pretty good, I love ATL.

The food is amazing, chinken things, grits, IHOP, chitlins, ocre! I fucking love ocre (sp?), Mexican food that enduces nosebleeds, Bubblegum flavour ice-cream, Massive piña colada flavour slushies, meatloaf.

I think thats all for now, maybe Ill edit later.
