Marriage to an American can be scary, and also exciting. First you'll find yourself craving burgers and chicken wings. Especially on sundays. Some time after you'll choose a favorite football team, based solely on the color of their uniforms. Then you'll find yourself either completely engaged with politics, or completely ignorent of the entire process, except the general election. There is no in-between. Your appreciation of film and music may increase. Car culture may tempt you. Be wary of motorcycle interests. Be prepared to drive long distances during quick trips out. If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to introduce me to your sister. Good luck, I hope this helps.
the long distance trips sure is true, my boyfriend really likes driving the car to other states and it takes a looong time, nice. thanks!!!
Car culture is really something else. Everything seems to revolve around the fact you can just drive somewhere.
Unfortunately the victim is public transport. In small towns it is just a service provided like it's an after thought for the poor. Back in the UK I would take the bus and train everywhere and you'd rub shoulders with all types. In the US, there's something off about taking the bus.
