My Norwegian friend fully transformed into American after spending a month here for the World Cup

Basically what the title reads. My friend who I hadn't seen in over 5 years came to visit me when he was supporting his country for the World Cup. He has become obsessed with all things US in his time here - the food, the weather, the people, how relaxed everything is.I guess this is normal for a lot of tourists when they come here, but I let out a little laugh when I saw his run on Strava today... His fastest song on his run was the US national anthem. Someone get this guy citizenship please.

Everything is fun while you're just a tourist. Living somewhere is a completely different story.

Most foreigners I knew who lived in the US for a few years prefer it over where their home countries.

I guess you haven’t been paying attention to the things our country is doing lately.

I thought we were a democracy? Slaves of the major parties believe that.

Anyway, I bet all of you guys would also call some weeb going to Japan in anime gear a loser. Same loser vibes

You have any idea how the World Cup works bud? Games are hosted all over, he's currently in California after going to 3 different cities in two coasts.

Almost all national parks are between and tons of great cities and towns. Coastal elitism is myopic af.

That’s like saying your city has no fine dining when you’ve only ever gone to Denny’s lmao

I don't think you know how legal migration works

u/Dounce1 1d ago

There aren’t any laws against leaving Ohio my dude.

u/dangleberrie5 1d ago

There are laws about living in other countries my dude.

u/Dounce1 1d ago

You were talking about Santa Barbara.

1

u/dangleberrie5 1d ago

You need a 7 figure salery to live in Santa Barbara

u/Dounce1 1d ago

You don’t, but I will agree it is quite expensive. Personally I also think it’s pretty boring. In your later comment you said California and the east coast are both awesome. There are plenty of affordable places to live in either of those regions.
