Two Frequent Questions About the U.S.

Yes, I get it. I'm ashamed to admit that many many years ago when I was still very young, I asked a new German friend living in Los Angeles whether Germany had escalators. She responded very sarcastically - something about using their wings!!

I can imagine that happening. Although I must say that the frequency of those sort of questions has lessened over the years. I think it is the fact more and more people travel, and the growth of social media.
