I am French and just get back from American vacation. I realized Europe is not first-world. When I go to a restaurant, I pay 2 Euro for waiter to bring tap water in old glass bottle. No buildings here has air conditioning. No worries about pickpockets in America tourist spots except maybe New York. No g*psies either.

America has no culture but who cares? My apartment in 19 century building is 10 square meters
