5 MAJOR cities where you don't feel like your are in the U.S.?

Seattle doesn't really feel Canadian to me at all. It's got a business-oriented Downtown (as opposed to residential-oriented) and it just feels more American. It also has a lot more sprawl than Canadian cities and the mindset once you leave the urban core/inner neighborhoods is more classically American.

Not to mention, Seattle has a violent crime rate of 400 incidents per 100,000 (per City Data), which is about average for American cities, but is significantly higher than any Canadian city.

Canada and the US are so similar to me, I don't really consider Canada foreign.

Only if you almost completely get rid of Quebec...

Could one argue that being in an all-white city doesn't feel very American? Because to me, any place that doesn't have black people doesn't feel American. African-Americans are the most American IMO.
