Wow you are very ignorant. You confuse few individuals with 2.2 billion Christians. Crusades happened 1000 years ago, and it was fight to take back land that belonged to Christians. Stop confusing organized religion with Christianity and Jesus Christ.

If I traveled to the US, I would stop at Cheesecake Factory just because of The Big Bang Theory. Penny works there

Yes because a lot of ignorant people come on here and tell you how you should think and what kind of food what you should like.

The New England that I used to frequently visit is not much closer to the UK than the rest of the US. Maybe the language is a tiny bit more British, the "r" sound a bit less pronounced, but that's about it. And the architecture there might remind you of home.

There is no reason why New England would be closer to the UK than Virginia, which is originally as English as Massachussets. I suspect that the name New England itself gives the impression of closeness.

exactly!!

New England is just as American as Alabama, it does have English roots of course but still, 100% American and not reminiscent of England at all.

Depends. If you want to buy clothes, yes, it is much cheaper in the US, for some weird reason even some European brands tend to be cheaper on the other side of the puddle. However, my weekly trip to the grocery store was much cheaper back home in Germany than it is in the States. Especially fruit and vegetables are cheaper, dairy products, too, meat tends to be the same, except for beef, which is cheaper statesside. Electronics are mostly cheaper, but only because of the exchange rate and the differences in sales tax.

There are coupons and discounts in Europe, too, you know? I hardly ever bought anything for its full price.
