That's fascinating, people half way across the world eating our food, watching our movies, listening to Nicki Minaj.

Go to Google Maps - zoom way out so you can see the whole world - type "McDonalds" in the search bar - look at all those red dots. and some will use the excuse "oh no its for the tourists" *takes bite of big mac and takes a swig of coke while communicating with you with their HP computer or Macbook.

There's KFC on the island of Dominica in the Caribbean. Two branches I think.

To me music is the most fascinating thing about America, and many of the subcultures that have popped up in that country.


Can't say I like the song, but I love the video.

Dude, it gets super annoying when you pretend like you or the general American public single handedly created McDonalds and Windows 98, or produced the music of Nicki Minaj. No. A handful of people completely unrelated to you in an enormous land area with an enormous population did.

But I've always really found Cajun/Creole food fascinating. I've never really tried much, but I'm dying to make a trip to Louisiana, and specifically New Orleans for it.

Regardless of how you feel about the quality, USA pop music is global pop music. One thing that will always live in m y memory was riding with this old Norwegian dude and a Rhianna song comes on the radio and he says "I ****ing love Rhianna". Words you typically would not heat uttered by his white male counter parts in the USA.

Isn't Nicki Minaj Jamaican anyway?

And Rihanna is from Barbados I think.
