I remember my first thoughts!

I was rereading my last blog and I saw that I wondered what my first thought would be when I got to the states and I remember it very clearly.

I thought- what pompous, arrogant Americans (I had a brief run in with a rude girl). And the longer I've been back, the more I think, my goodness, why are people so unnecessarily loud?? And why is this country so expensive??

I'm not saying I don't like Americans. But I'd like to consider myself an introspective American and I wonder why are we the way we are sometimes...
