>(Want some more "USA seen through eyes of an European"? Just ask :)

Hi Dragan. I would be interested in your thoughts and ideas about North America since it is still a fresh experience for you.

Having just returned from Hungary, Italy, Czech and Austria, I found:
- lots of smokers
- thin people
- well dressed
- a strange combination of being culturally singular yet very multilingual
- fast drivers
- no bargins or sales
- absence of "chit-chat" with strangers (shop clerks, etc...)
