All you need to do is walk up to a group tailgating and tell them that you are from another country and have never participated in before and they will totally invite you to join. We have strangers joining us all the time and I have walked up to others as well. It’s a big party so most people are receptive to that.

The term "a deer stuck in the headlights" is a saying where I live in Michigan, we have so many deer and they are creatures of prey, so when they are running across the street and see lights they freeze, which causes more car crashes than if they went straight. So the term refers to someone who is caught saying something that everyone knows is a lie

Swimming pools are very common in the US, even in colder areas in the North. I live a a city in New England where temperatures in the Winter have been as low as -12 F [-25C]. I live in a large apartment building in a residential neighborhood that doesn't have its own pool. BUT, on GOOGLE Earth, i looked at my neighborhood for three blocks in every direction, There were nearly three dozen pools, and almost half of them were in ground.

People in the region are mostly of Scottish and Irish descent. There is a lot of wildlife where I live. I see deer, skunks, raccoon, copperhead and rattle snakes and black bears. I used Brit Rail to visit England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales and had a wonderful trip. One thing you definitely do better than the USA is public transportation.

I’ve been to England, Scotland and Ireland in the 1980’s. My husband and WpI went 5 times and a number of European countries. I thought all the countries were beautiful. My only negative was the worst food I ever had was in England and the people kept to themselves. I thought the people in Ireland were very friendly but I hear the Irish people aren’t as friendly now. The food was much better in Ireland and Scotland! I thought Ireland and Scotland were very beautiful! The Scottish people were also nice. Europe was beautiful too and I loved the history but I felt they were withdrawn. We used EurRail a lot and people kept to themselves but whenever a Canadian or Aussie would come on the train or in the streets all of us would talk to each other like long lost friends. European reactions seemed like they thought we were strange. Sometimes I think it’s because we are countries of immigrants and we came from all over the world

Important FACT : The largest sports stadium in the World is a cricket stadium in India that seats 132,000. The second largest stadium [114,000] is in North Korean where the unfortunate people of North Korea are forced to pay homage to the country's deranged Dictator. The NEXT EIGHT of the top ten are ALL US Football stadiums on College and University campuses. Every one of which holds in excess of 100,000 spectators. Michigan Stadium at the University of Michigan was designed to be capable of expansion up to 150,000 capacity. I think that pretty well explains the position of sports in the US.

Easy to get involved in tailgates just bring a big case a beer and some liquor and walk around. People are usually always friendly and in good spirits (in Cleveland because we haven’t loss yet and think we still have a chance that day) and would be happy to welcome in someone especially out of country who wants to experience a cultural event. You’ll probably be offered some drinks, shots or some tailgating food. I always try to go to a sporting event when visiting another country. Went to a hurling match championship in Ireland and didn’t even know what the sport was. Met some fans and spent the night after bar hopping around Dublin with them.

For more than 50 years it has brought over some of the very best TV from the UK. Then there's the much more recent BritBox subscription service..

Plus, I love your accent 😊. I have seen a lot of our "dangerous" wildlife but the 2 that had the biggest impact on me in person were Bison/Buffalo and the American alligator. Those bison can really move when they are triggered, But, it is almost always because some human idiot did something very stupid. As for the alligator, they can move really fast as well and creep up on you. When those jaws clamp down, they leave with something. Another thing we have are sharks. We have dangerous ones like the great white sharks and other more docile sharks. I think the US leads in shark attacks with most in Florida and a fairly recent attack up north on Martha's Vineyard. Have a great day ahead!

I live in a small city (85,000) in Southern California, not far from mountains, I get raccoons, an occasional skunk, birds, parrots ( origin unknown), many very small lizards, that are completely harmless, and within recent years, to my dismay, coyotes. They prey on our small pets sadly. Harmless o adult humans. Gila Monsters lie in a small desert area of the US, and are seldom encountered. The idea that mountain lions and bears should only be in zoos was fairly shocking to me. We actively protect mountain lions in California. Colorado just reintroduced wolves, by popular vote. Just have to keep the ranchers from killing them. The US is enormous and has a lot of room for wildlife of all kinds. We do not just protect the cute ones.

People mostly kill themselves while driving, occasionally hiking. Not sure why foreign tourists get so close to the Grand Canyon edge. There are no safety rails.

From late May to early September... the temps are 70-90° F and a lot of sunny days, but also very likely to have high humidity. Even in Minnesota id say 5 of the 20 houses around me have inground pools. My parents actually lived on a lake growing up, and also have a pool as well. Id have friends and girls come over regularly during our summers when in HS still. One of my highlights growing up. Honestly, we probably used the trampoline more than boating, fishing, or swimming in the lake or the pool. Fun fact: the first time i ever tried a cigarette, marijuana, or got drunk was at 14 visiting Peebles, Scotland! Lol

For me: Thanksgiving is the BEST holiday. Based on (after the harvest) a gathering between the Native Americans and the pilgrims. It is a day that celebrates what you are thankful for with family and friends. No pressure for gift decisions; just great food, company, and football.

So I am from Philadelphia and I know a ton of people , myself included, who watch Doctor Who and a lot of people who have pools on their property or in their apartment complexes, etc.and it gets cold here but it also gets hot and we just like swimming. Also on the topic of Thanksgiving, it has always been a massive holiday in the USA, ever since colonial times, it was even celebrated during the American Revolution. There are American football games on the professional, collegiate, and highschool levels, lots of people travel to be with their families and drink with their highschool friends the night before (its our biggest night of the year for binge drinking). You go over to your Thanksgiving Dinner and theres a bunch of different foods you will get around the country, but all the food are native to north america, so you'll get turkey or beef, green beans, pumpkins, corn, etc. From my experience most families do talk about what they are grateful for that year... and then we have the next day off to shop so some people start getting ready to go out shopping extremely early or the best deals. I love the holiday and the cool thing is, as people become more secular, its a holiday that can stand the test of time and will likely become one of the most meaningful day of our year, but that wont be anytime soon... definitely more atheist/agnostic in the younger generations, but most families will still say grace before eating Thanksgiving As a Scot, you would just have to say "Hi, could you tell me what this tailgating is all about" people will hear your accent and want to give you a good experience to talk about back at home.

My mother was born in 1920 in Livingston Station, in the coal mining area between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Her family emigrated to the US when she was 9 years old. When I was in college in 1975 I went to Edinburgh with my grandmother and her second husband. Grandma and I took the bus to Livingston and some of the local people directed us to the local senior center where there were some people who remembered Grandma's family and took us to see one of her cousins in a nursing home. I went back to Scotland with my sister a few years later and we rented a car and drove all over Scotland, including spending a night with another cousin and his wife on the outskirts of Glasgow. We also spent a night in a B&B on the Isle of Skye, and spent the evening talking to a couple from Canada and a couple from England about the differences between our countries. We found many Scottish people who were friendly and helpful.

Our optimism and friendliness is what would get you easily invited to join in for tailgating. We are the "why not" instead "why bother" people for sure in a way that other cultures are not. The US is made up of immigrants who said WHY NOT and I CAN/I WILL because they wanted better for themselves and their children so I think that's the main reason why we tend to have more positivity and optimism than other countries. You can't leave all that you've known behind for the unknown without that hope of something better. You should definitely check out the American fast food that has arrived in Malaysia especially if they're foods that you've been wanting to try out. You might be pleasantly surprised :).

The thing about legalized pot is that once it's legal, pretty much anyone can get it. Instead of the medical issues it's used for, people can say they have stress and get a card. Also, people get permission to grow medical Marijuana and often just grow it and sell it to friends. Once it becomes legalized, there is little control of it and I see on live police shows that people either get a card or just becauise ts legal in the state, think its ok to get high and drive.

You can travel across the whole U.K. in a reasonably short amount of time. The history, the cathedrals, the Lake District, Snowdonia and the home of my gg grandparents, the Isle of Man. I always feel at home in the U.K. when I’m there. Thanksgiving is a major holiday here in the U.S.. Right up there with Christmas. I’m in Illinois and we get the occasional bear and cougar wandering through. Lots of coyotes, raccoons, skunks, fox and deer where I live. I can’t choose a favorite place because of how different various parts of the country are. I don’t have a swimming pool. I only know two people with pools and they’re certainly not in my neighborhood! Grilling and barbecue are two different things. I rarely eat “fast food” but I have to admit it’s good in a pinch! Taco Bell in Asia would be interesting. Cannabis is legal here in Illinois. I personally don’t use it but it’s certainly no worse than alcohol. And yes, I did try cannabis in college…more than once.
