And found out people were DRINKING WATER STRAIGHT FROM THE TAP that was a massive culture shock, in China we had to boil the water.
I mean some water fountains later on added filtering machines, but still, the first water fountain I saw was in a Brooklyn elementary school, don’t think there was a filter… so… yea…
I think I felt kinda disgusted at it at first, I mean, some kids TOUCHED THEIR MOUTH OVER THE THING LIKE EEWWW (that’s kid me’s reaction)
So I avoided drinking from water fountains and I remember always bringing a bottle of water.
I think eventually I got okay with it, but my mom always told me to like turn it on for a few seconds to “flush away the germs” or something so that became a habit. Eventually I just skipped boiling water at home and I drink straight from the tap. (well except now philly had a chemical leak in the water in 2023 so now I don’t wanna drink from the tap anymore)
As I got older I just have more and more germophobia so I really just despise water fountains ever since like middle school, except for when my highschool had the filtering machines. Then I’d fill up a water bottle with it.
As for PARKS, HELL NO. BIRDS FUCKING POOP ALL OVER THE PARK.
Cant even sit on a bench FFS
I remember joking like: “Do these birds taste good?” and dad was like: “You can’t hunt them, that’s illegal in America”

Americans seen around the world as radically liberal because of our media but in reality people use to be dissuaded from being left handed because that was the sign of the devil.
Oh funny thing is, when I first came to the US

Yea most cities have some kind of ordinance outlawing hunting within city limits. Wish I could take out some of the turkeys around here
