The American Way of Life

So, I am now exactly one week with my host family in North Canton, OH. Although the school has not started yet, I start creeping in on the everyday American to start.
As I said, I'm in High School Soccer Team, I have two and half hours every evening football training and at least three games per week. Accordingly, I am also very tired when my Gastbrueder evening and I go into the gigantic big screen and look at the movies launched in Germany in a few months ago in the cinema :-) or go to the huge shopping mall and let the day be.
Slowly I begin to understand that I am in the United States of America. Before I came out here, my image of America was probably just as every German would imagine: Big man, big cars, endless highways, across national flags, air-conditioned houses and and and ... The prejudices of the United States have for me confirmed, but not in the negative light, as they are made in Europe ever since. On the contrary. Apart from climate change to make, just some issues the United States. Otherwise it would not even ... It is very difficult to the "American Way of Life" imagine if you have never been here.
I am so happy to be here and wait for the counter with great pleasure that the school start.
