Americans are more friendly, humble, playful and optimistic at the cost of a general ignorance. Pub-Manners are a good protocol in small towns, Restaurant manners in cities and suburbs. We don’t really have a cafe culture outside of the coffee shops in the big cities. I love small town New England. But Europe is better. And I’m totally in love with L’viv. The irritating thing in america is obvious: that people lack the awareness of their privilege, and the lower classes have ruined the commons.
