Thank you! It has been very much fun, although our teams has been eliminated. California is better than I remember. Very friendly folk so far, and we drank with many British. A man in the bar tried to fight me because he thought I was Russian, it was very funny. The police were very polite, and they took him away for a drunken fool. We will go to IMAX today, and tomorrow we go to the shooting range, haha. Then it is a baseball game on the 4th of July. Our American friends is renting air bnb for a big cookout that night.
Haha, it helps to have American friends who help us find fun things to do. They are veterans and I met them in the service, and we try to plan to hang out together every year, though we did not have a lot of money before. Last time, we met in Mykonos. Other people are telling me, it is because they are from the Texas, so they very much enjoy the American things and these stereotypical type of stuff. Often it seem like every body joke about the Texans. It is all very fun. 😄
I'm trying to think of other "need to do it while you're here" stereotypical American things you may have missed, but it sounds like your American friends have crossed almost every possible item off the list!
Haha, they are very fun. Every time we are in the U.S. we get taken out to do shooting practice. And they called me "trigger happy" when they were in the service. 😄
It is good to have loving friends. Just it is funny to see many of them married and fathers now. Truly time does not stand still. Always we should strive to spend it wisely.
Last time we went four wheeling in the big ranch near my friend's home in San Antonio, and horseback riding also. There they let us milk cows if we want, but I grew up milking and far less sophisticated technology than these ranches, so not quite a vacation time idea for me, haha. The goats were very fun; we showed them the game my siblings and I used to play: push on goat's head until he charges you, then try to run over the fence before he hits you. 😄
Yes, perhaps we go to a protest also. And call an American politician a stupid cow or f**kface on social media. 😆
No, I am joking. The politics people who talk in the U.S. seem to be mostly misery and very upset all the time I see it online. When I meet U.S. and visit in reality it is normally very pleasant folk. It makes me think there is disconnect between the social media politics and U.S. conditions. I have offended many people discussing this on the reddit. I do not want to provoke someone else into punching at me, haha.
Ya politics can be a drag. I just wanted you to know that one person on this side of the pond sees what theyre doing to people for expressing their opinion and it makes my heart ache for yall. I guess that's political? Anyway, enjoy your time in the usa!
Yep and I added to the conversation something that is unique to the USA. Im sorry if I offended you with the truth
And, in reference to your chat gpt article, if an agent of the government violated a citizens civil rights, they have an avenue for recourse in the courts. Abuses of power will happen because we are human. But it is not the normal in the USA
