In all honesty, Americans were never my favourite people. A lot of bad press and media reports sort of vilify them to a certain extent, and what little experiences that i used to have with people(some, not all) from the leading superpower have also led me to stereotype Americans as being loud, rude and quite ethnocentric. Seriously, i believe many Americans think Singapore is a part of China, and usually, they are utterly amazed when they hear a chinese speak fluent english. However, i must say my more recent experiences with them changed my view a whole lot, like Troy and Daija, one of the nicest and most interesting couples i have ever met. Adventurous and with lots of stories to share, yet very polite and well-mannered, they really made me think twice about stereotyping Americans again. After meeting Troy & Daija, coupled with all the great experiences my brother wrote about life there (My brother's blog), i kind of want to visit the states now...
