I'm from Sweden. I met a couple of mormon missionaries a couple of weeks ago, they where nice but I didn't get a chance to talk much to them.

I have met quite a few americans, both while working and since I have quite a lot of family over there. My general impression is that they are like europeans in general but much louder, for good and for bad.

If I could point out one thing that I've seen that seems to be typicly american that would have to be the false optimism. Even if they don't belive in something everything is "great" and "yeah let's go" just to avoid making someone disappointed face to face. That can be confusing until you get the hang of it.
