The International Cultural Exchange
 

Given that in my time here i`ve spoken to people from all over the world. I thought it would be good if we could ask each other questions about each others countries & also how our countries are portrayed by others.

So anyway i`ll start this off by asking any Americans here to answer the following questions........

1. Everytime there is a visiting American president in the UK there is a lot of talk about the 'special relationship' between the two countries , do you feel any closer to the UK than say for example any other country?

2. In the last Football World Cup , the USA had their best ever tournament & got to the quarter finals, do you care & did you watch any of the matches?

3. Which British band do you feel has had the most impact in the U.S. in say the last 5 or 6 years?

4. When you think of the UK , what is the first image that comes into your head?

5. David Beckham is probably the biggest British sports star around the world , are you aware of him & what he does?

1. No.
2. No.
3. Oasis, no lie.
4. British flag.
5. Soccer player who bangs Spice Girls, got it.


But yeah..like I'm not actually an American.
Canadian in America.
So do or don't listen to my replies.

1. No
2. Didn't they lose to Germany in the Quarters? I do follow soccer.
3. Sadly, Green Day.
4. the Union Jack
5. Possibly the best free kick taker in the sport

Oh yeah , it was South Korea that got to the semis , I always get those 2 countries mixed up

Do Americans really believe that many english people have bad teeth?

Do Americans really not have sherbet?? (Sorry, its just been bugging me for ages)

Do british people really have tea and crumpets?

Mmmm sherbert
And just for the record,over here,david beckham gets more publicity for being hot,rich,with a spice girl,and allkinds of other crap that have nothing to do with soccer. By the looks of what is shown on tv, i never would have known he played sports if someone hadnt told me.

Crumpets are vile , it`s like stale bread filled with fat

Oh yeah,and do americans really think canadians live in igloos, cause this dumb bitch in florida asked me that,and then proceeded to laugh at me for using sleighs as transportation And she wasnt even joking.

i see this is actually an american-brittish cultural exchange thread
