Currently in South Carolina, USA, only here for work for a short while.
The states, although I wasnt expecting too much, is a hole. Everything looks dirty and rundown (at least in the few parts I've been to), and everyone really is quite rude. You do get the 'Thankyou, Have a good day' all the time, but its very scripted.
Mind you, I have only seen a little bit of it, so other parts ~may~ be different. Has been an interesting trip, though
