Went to US for the first time - not impressed brehs

So I went to the US for the first time. I went to South bends and Chicago.

Holy **** what a dump. My notes:

- Most ghetto mcdonalds i've ever been to in my life, druggies pitbulls, food taste weird af
- Everyone obsessed with guns
- All the infrastructure looks knakered, rusty old and honestly the outskirts of Chicago reminded me of mad Max.
- Chicago centre looks cool, but stinks of sewage and weed.
- Food is chit, really shocked at how low quality the food was, food in the UK is much better.
- Trucks were huge, cars in general were big.
- Chicago centre had a lot more fit people and normal people around.
- Policeman i randomly spoke too told me to turn back because the area i was walking into was very dangerous.
- Black people very different to the UK. Black people in the UK relatively normal, in the US, seems angry aggresive and super loud.
- I thought America was meant to be cheap, but not really.

All in all, not imrpessed ameribrahs. Glad to be back in the UK.

Plannning a trip to the South next.

Yeah, in general just stay out of Chicago and you'd have had a much better time.

There's lots of beautiful and diverse landscapes in the USA. However, there are a lot of dumps and the USA has the dumbest dumb people ever. I went to California and did beach, mountains, and desert in one day. Really nice experience. Unfortunately, the people wereverystrange.

I've spent time in Chicago for work. brb 'murder capital of the usa' or whatever. How many of you have actually gone to Chicago and driven around for a few days? I saw no issues anywhere. I'd assume the problem areas are in very small isolated portions, much like every city.

Soem American stereotype... but in reality I saw a lot of odd, uneducated and strange people in the US.

I think there is a big drug problem there.

Pretty much any large city has multiple ghettos surrounding it i've seen some really big ones in Chicago, St Louis and Memphis. I stay out of those cities now. Even KC was pretty bad last couple times i went there for concerts.

The US is simply too big and diverse to judge from one visit. Even a state California is way too diverse to judge from visit.
You'd have to spend years in California and do road trips non stop to even understand the different parts of California.
To actually explore and get to know a good chuck of the US, you'd literally have to do road trips for your entire life exploring the US.
You can Explore Rhode Island on a 2 week vacation if your spend every waking hour exploring, but not most states let alone the whole US.
This is an area you should explore instead next time.

Your entire country fits in Texas, and you think you can draw any meaningful conclusions from visiting one city in one state?

Honestly it's much nicer here... I am shocked at what I saw in the US. How you guys spoke about the US all these years really is laughable.

I have travelled thee world and honestly the US is one of the worst palces I have been.

IOnfrastrucutttre is garbage, population is uneducated and a very violenbt society.

Honestly America is close to a third world country.

Went to Vegas to get married years ago.

Even the downtown area there is a shockingly disgusting and tacky pigsty.

Chicago's a great city, you just have to know where to go. The people are generally pretty awful, but they're better than New Yorkers.

Downtown is old Vegas, it's the seedier part of the city. Still cool imo, but it is what it is.

None of the areas immediately surrounding downtown are that bad, but I guess that's by Chicago standards. Downtown itself has plenty of crime.

Ok, no idea. Just what some cop told me.

The drive into Chicago was an eye opener. I think Americans ahve no concept of maintenance all of their ifnrastructure is falling apart at the seems.
