You are probably wondering (especially if you are American) what the hell is she trying to say, hm? Firstly I should reveal I am from Slovakia. Little unimportant country in the heart of the Europe. My friends from a bigger countries and mainly from U.S. are puzzled at first, when I tell them where do I live. But Slovakia is normal civilized democratic republic. We have most of the things you have:

MacDonald’s and big shopping centers, iPods, laptops, … and we are very well informed about the happenings in the world.

Alright now, enough about the Slovakia.

I have many friends who went to U.S. to study or live and they all felt the same thing. Americans are somehow different. They… (sorry for interruption but i have to do this before I really start writing: using they doesn’t mean I think all the Americans have to be like this) talk as though from a movie. I have to turn off the television sometimes when I watch an American movie. They just don’t talk normally. Top three sentences you will hear in the American movie:

1. I love you. (there often is more than life or forever added. Even in a normal life, how many times do you use this sentence in one day? My maximum is twice, but I’ve got a feeling that it is the most used sentence in U.S.)
2. ….I promise. (they really give more promises then they can keep)
3. I will never….(do you use this phrase in a normal life? I don’t…)

Well, it seems to me, they need to evoke a bigger and grand emotions, than we need. But than… who are we? I cannot say that U.K. for instance isn’t getting closer to this emotions-filled behavior. I can talk only about people I meet everyday and I tell you, they certainly don’t act so affected. Take it or not, I really think there is something false about that behavior of theirs.
