Few people know what the American dream is, but it is generally accepted that in the United States it is fulfilled by almost everyone. Our compatriot Marina shared her feedback and observations about us. We offer to go with her on a virtual journey and see how they live in America.
Marina has been living and studying in Los Angeles for more than three years. Says the average American family has an annual income of about $58,000. To an uninformed person, the amount may seem impressive (“People live!”), But in fact, everything is not so rosy for residents in North America.
Every second family of ordinary Americans rents a house or pays off a mortgage. Small two-storey house per month costs somewhere in the 3000-5000 dollars, not taking into account the cost of any utilities. Medical insurance, car insurance, unpaid loans tuition, cell phones and utilities are expensive. Cars are more often rented than bought. Each member of the family has their own car. Depending on the brand, year of issue and the amount of the deposit, the price of a monthly payment for it varies from $200 and more, on average - from $200 to $400. People prefer leasing for the simple reason that the car can be changed every, say, two years, or bought back much cheaper at the end of the contract. Another important point - in the event of a car malfunction, all expenses are taken over by leasing company. But if none of the family members has a stable credit history, they cannot even dream of a house or a car for rent.
When asked how ordinary Americans live, Marina replies that all of America lives on credit. Children from an early age know that credit cards are indispensable.
Many people have savings accounts, to which the specified amount is transferred monthly from the current account by the bank. Thus, the Americans are reinsured for a rainy day. Indeed, in the event of a loss of work by one of the family members, a catastrophe can really happen - there will simply be nothing to pay for loans and bills. So it's safe to say that most Americans save for "just in case" and for retirement, and not for something specific, like repairs or traveling abroad, as is customary in our country.
Americans have a reason to plan their finances for the future. There is free education in schools, but for Kindergarten parents are forced to pay at least $700 a month for one child. In addition, it is expensive for American parents to pay for sports sections, in which it is customary to send children here.
Purchases in the United States are usually made in wholesale stores. Interestingly, in such places prices are lower than in Russian supermarkets. Here you can buy an expired delicacy like tiger prawns without two days, choose cheap household appliances and detergents.
Low prices in such stores are not least associated with the low quality of products. It always looks fresh, but bursting from pesticides vegetables and fruits, meat swollen to incredible sizes from hormones.
There are special supermarkets for organic food. Needless to say, only very wealthy citizens can afford to go there every day?
Americans have a simple attitude to the choice of clothes - they do not chase after fashion and do not spend on it. a large number of funds.
Majority local population she dresses very simply, and after the clothes wear out, she is taken to the Salvation Army - a humanitarian aid center. Discount branded clothing stores are a paradise for white Americans, as well as for immigrants from of Eastern Europe and the Middle East. What costs thousands of dollars in Russia or Ukraine can be found here for 50 bucks.
In US department stores, sales never end, they mostly accompany holidays like Mother's Day, Veterans Day, Independence Day, and so on. After the holiday, the discount increases to sell everything that was not possible for the holiday. The famous Black Friday (the Friday after Thanksgiving in the USA - it starts with it, however, as in Europe) is a big event. Lines form many hours before the frenzy begins, and some especially desperate buyers bring tents and spend the night in front of the store. Most often this can be observed in front of household appliances stores. On Black Friday, you can buy a computer or, for example, a TV for $150. But in order not to mislead readers, there are about ten such computers and TVs for the entire sale. And they don't give more than one.
According to my observations, Americans spend a very large amount of money on coffee. A typical morning in California starts with long lines at Starbucks. The next run to the coffee shop will be at lunch time, and perhaps the American or American will “miss” another glass after work. Interestingly, millions of people across the country spend hundreds of dollars a year on coffee, with absolutely no worries about the fact that it can be prepared at home much faster, and most importantly, much cheaper.
The same popularity, perhaps, enjoy and fast food restaurants. Despite the fascination with fast food and microwaveable frozen meals, almost every self-respecting American considers it a duty to have a gym membership. It is not necessary to go there every week, but you need to have a subscription. At the same time, there are things that are being spent less and less lately. less money. There were two excellent bookstores not far from my house, with a cafeteria on the ground floor where you could sit comfortably with a book. Now, to my great regret, in their place is a shoe store and a restaurant. Otherwise, spending depends on income and whims.
Accustomed to credit, Americans, despite this, never allow themselves to borrow money. It's just not accepted here.
Quite recently I had a dialogue with an acquaintance, an American of Filipino origin. I asked him why he missed the whole semester
at the university, to which he honestly and without a shadow of embarrassment replied that he could not afford it. Then I asked why he did not ask for money from one of his friends, at least from me, I would not refuse. He thanked me very sincerely, but in his eyes I realized that my words for him were something out of the ordinary. By the way, this is also indicative for the inhabitants of the European Union.
I thought about it and realized that after 5 years spent in this country, it would not have occurred to me to go with such a scrupulous request to an American.
Summing up what has been said above, it is safe to say that the American dream is just another life in the USA. Well, where we are not expected, in a word.—————————————————————————————

===================================================================
In a previous article about Washington, I promised to talk about how the American middle class lives. Ordinary engineers, doctors, middle managers, not millionaires and not oligarchs. That is, not Hollywood stars and not relatives of George Soros and Warren Buffett. But on the other hand, they are by no means pizza carriers or sellers in a store. Ordinary citizens aged 30-35 years old, with small children, with education and work experience of 10-12 years after graduation. People usually live in a townhouse bought on credit about 50 km from Washington, in the town of Rockville, they go to Washington to work (about an hour by car, taking into account possible traffic jams). Actually, their house is visible in the photo, just a black car is passing by it. Such a house costs 650 thousand dollars, some part of the amount (20-30%) is paid from their savings, and the rest is given by the bank for 30 years at 4-4.5% per annum. Isn't it possible to live? Can! Unless, of course, you have at least a couple of hundred thousand dollars a year in family income and are able to pay off a loan and pay utility bills. Details below -
Standard garage for 2 cars. In this case, this is the Infinity M56 and the 5th generation Ford Explorer Jeep -
Basement, that is, the first floor, where your obedient servant stopped, randomly scattering his things over an area of at least 100 square meters. I have my own bathroom and toilet -
A staircase leads to the second floor, there is another toilet, if you suddenly get diarrhea on the way from the first floor to the second -
The second floor is the salon. Here is a resting place, a kitchen and another toilet (third) -
By the way, do you know what kind of grating on the stairs is and why is it needed?
Kitchen with refrigerator, dishwasher and other things -
Backyard -
Each townhouse has its own heating and water heating system. There are two systems here at once: air conditioners work in summer, and in winter (heating) on gas. Andrew Finnish , here for your part :)
Pressure -
Water meter -
Two air conditioners work only in summer, usually for cooling -
Utility bills depend on the season: in the summer, about $250 a month for electricity (air conditioners) and 50-60 for gas (heating is not required, gas savings, only for cooking), and in winter, exactly the opposite, 250-300 for gas and 50-60 for electricity -
Except utility bills, monthly the owners pay $ 500 municipal tax for such a house, plus $ 140 - community charges (garbage removal, cleaning the territory, swimming pool, etc.). Well, mortgage payments for the house, amounting to about $ 2,200-2,400 per month.
This is how people live in "decaying from the crisis" America.
p.s. behind the scenes was the third floor of the house where the owners and the kids live.
Hi all! Alexander Khvastovich is with you, host of the America for the Successful project. And today the comment “Tell me about the daily life of Americans” got the most likes, so I will talk about it. I want to say right away that everyday life in America and in Russia, by and large, is not much different. If you do not take into account scientific development and cultural differences, then people live the same way as in Russia: they fall in love, they quarrel, they give birth to children, they go to work. If in Russia someone is thinking of raising money to buy a used car, then in America people are thinking how to raise money for a more modern new car. In fact, the problems are the same, and life is the same, just a different level. If you work in America and have good friends, you will live well and with dignity. Maybe it will just be better than it would be at home, because of the problems with corruption or because it is difficult to find a job there, even as a qualified specialist. That is, it might have turned out worse there than here, but everyday life is the same.
The average person gets up in the morning for work, takes a shower, eats, many here go to the gym before work, then go to work, work, some at a construction site, some in the computer industry, some in the office. After work, he comes home, if one person lives, then he spends the evening for his own pleasure - watching TV or going to bars, if with someone, he can go to eat in a restaurant, raise children. Everyday life in America is the same as everyday life in Russia, it just changes the level of wealth, the culture around and the introduction of technology into everyday life. This is probably the main difference. Because both Russia and America are the developed countries. It's not some third world country where you have to look for food or water, and you live in a tent. So think of it this way, America is Russia, pardon the pun, just with a slightly more developed society and wages. But despite this, there are also enough poor people in America, there are people who live paycheck to paycheck for generations, and they also need to pay for housing. Every month they have to look for money somewhere. There are many rich people here, but a rich person for us is the middle class here. He will have several cars in the family, each member of it will have a car, he has personal home where he lives. This is probably the main difference. There is no such thing here that mortgages are paid until the end of life, it is quite possible to buy a house or a car on credit here, and you can pay it off within 10-20 years, earning, on average, 40-50 thousand dollars a year per family member, not including children.
So America is America. It's hard for me to add anything on this subject because it's so comprehensive. If you go into details, you can find differences, I can say something more specific, but everyday life in America is the same as at home, just with a different level of wealth and culture and, as I said, the introduction of technology into everyday life, which, of course, is important. A lot of people come here for this.
I hope I have answered this question. As always, put your finger up, tell your friends and wait for more releases. Thank you all, Alexander Khvastovich, host of the America for the Successful project, was with you. Everything, bye everyone!
It's me again. I have a couple of things I would like to add. First, I think it's time for me to shave, but it doesn't matter. And the second thing I wanted to say is that the video turned out to be uninformative. I really didn't know what to say. I knew, but you can't really say anything, at least I don't think so. Therefore, as a bonus, if you watch this video on Youtube, you will see in the description of the video links below to my articles, interviews of various emigrants. There are, for example, stories about how a girl came here as a student, then went to prison in America, then got out and is now legalized. There is a story about how a pensioner came to live in America. How different people come, their impressions, how they come and stay on a study visa. In short, I will give a few links to read and you will understand a little what it is like to live in America. I hope this makes up for the lack of information. Thanks to all! Bye!
America is a huge country with a high economic level and comfortable living conditions. Everything seems so attractive that many migrants dream of staying in the US. But how do ordinary people actually live abroad? It is generally accepted that in America they earn a lot, and life is simple and pleasant. In order to figure out whether everything is so rosy, it is worth considering different aspects of life in the United States.
How people live in America ordinary people? Basically, they are united by national traits - ease of communication, openness and friendliness. Americans are very polite, and in order not to offend another person, they can simply remain silent. Residents of America are free in their movements around the country, they easily get to know each other and make friends. Although there are certain invisible boundaries. Houses are separated by small fences, and friendship does not imply interference in the affairs of a neighbor.
The conversation cannot discuss political, religious or financial issues. Mentioning social status is considered indecent. Americans are very fond of humor and practical jokes, but they are quite specific and not always clear to foreigners. With the help of jokes, US residents smooth out conflict situations. They often use humor to express their own opinions.
Is life difficult for people in the US? The history of all families is approximately the same. American life revolves around own house. The lawn in front of him is brought into perfect condition, even if there is not enough time for household chores. Americans do not make daily shopping trips, but stock up on food at once for a long time.
Paying predominantly credit cards and rarely in cash. Once a week, the whole family always gathers for dinner together, discussing the news. Parties are held on the lawns to socialize with the neighbors. Children are obliged to help their parents with the housework - to clean the snow, mow the lawn, vacuum, etc.
For this, their parents pay them small fees. American teenagers often earn extra money at car washes, supermarkets, etc. Such an experience is considered mandatory, since grown children immediately leave their father's house after school and they need the skills of physical labor and earning money for a living.
How do people live in America? The day starts like in other countries. In the morning, parents leave for work (mainly in private cars), and children go to school on special buses. Housewives are engaged in housekeeping. Many teenagers drive their own cars, even though their insurance is much more expensive for adults.
Almost all Americans attend different clubs, golf, bridge and other entertainment. Some people in the United States are members of public organizations and are involved in charity work. Church members organize lunches. Dishes for them are prepared at home and then put on the table. Children are engaged in different circles: ballroom dancing, tennis, etc.
Americans love to talk on the phone. Almost all families have notes posted on refrigerators reminding who in the family is and what needs to be done. Americans are distinguished by their smiling, cherish personal and other people's time. They prepare carefully for important negotiations, they value punctuality very much. Almost all US residents follow a strict schedule, many use diaries.
How do ordinary Americans live in America? Their lifestyle is quite dynamic. All week they are constantly in motion - work, business. Only weekends are left for rest. These days, Americans go out with their families to the parks, for walks or to meet friends. Vacations and holidays in America are much less than in Russia.
The average US citizen takes only one vacation a year. During the holidays, they prefer family trips to other states, to the countryside, to the mountains, etc. Wealthy Americans mostly vacation in Hawaii or the Bahamas. Residents of the United States are very fond of discounted goods; purchases are rarely made without them.
All services, including medicine, are quite expensive, so a salary of several thousand dollars is considered low. You can only live on this money with great difficulty. To support a house, a family, pay taxes, for education, etc., an American needs to receive at least 20 thousand dollars a month. Smoking in public places in America is prohibited.
Alcoholic drinks are consumed in small quantities and mainly in the form of cocktails. Because of the addiction to fast food, most Americans are prone to obesity. Sports are promoted to lose extra pounds. There are many lonely elderly people in the USA. They are rarely visited by children and grandchildren. Residents of the United States invite only relatives or close friends to their own home, they prefer to meet with everyone else on neutral territory.
The American way of life obliges to have your own housing. But since it is not possible to save up for it, most often houses are purchased on credit or taken on a mortgage. The most popular are small one-storey cottages from 150 to 250 square meters. Such a house costs an average of $150,000.
The cost of housing may be higher, it depends on its area, location of the quarter and building material. In modern American homes, a spacious living room, children's and dining rooms are required. Americans buy houses on credit (usually at 10 percent per annum) for 30 years. The period, terms and amount of payments depend on the level of salary, advance payment and the cost of the cottage.
How do ordinary American hard workers live? They have an eight-hour working day and two days off weekly. Employers offer different schedules. Americans can choose to work part-time, work from home, etc. For a stable and high level life in America is a must have higher education. In the United States, you can’t get a job “by pull”. The standard of living depends on the annual income of the whole family. Salary depends on education and profession. Highest Paid Professionals:
Their income can be from 15 to 20 thousand dollars a month. Teachers, junior medical personnel, employees of state structures have less wages. In America - hourly pay. The minimum wage is approximately $7.5 an hour.
The level of income largely depends on the state. In them, the same position can be paid differently. The highest income of Americans is provided by their own business or private activities. Any US resident can become an entrepreneur. The state supports the development of small businesses.
Schools are divided into elementary, middle and high schools. And they are all in different buildings. Senior students start studying at 7 am, and kids - from 8:30. Education in many schools is paid, the cost depends on the area of residence. Payment is made once a year. The amount is included in general tax. Further funds are distributed by the state.
Education can be obtained in both public and private schools. Education in universities takes place mainly on a paid basis - from 3-10 thousand dollars annually. College education lasts four years. Part of the payment is borne by the state. Foreign students are allowed to enter US universities. There is a special visa for this.
How do ordinary people live in America? Not all Americans can afford to go to restaurants and cafes. In the United States, it is customary to buy food from wholesale stores, as it is much cheaper and saves time. Prices in supermarkets can be much lower than, for example, in Russian ones. But the low cost of goods is often associated with poor quality.
Grocery items may have an expiration date, good-looking meats are full of hormones, and fresh and beautiful vegetables are full of pesticides. Cheap and a lot of quality products. The US supports farms, the cost of land and taxes is quite acceptable for small businesses. Accordingly, all this is expressed in low food prices.
How do ordinary people live in America? The standard of living directly depends on the annual income of the family. An important condition for a comfortable existence is insurance. This usually applies to real estate, cars and health. Retirees over 65 are eligible for medical insurance from the state. This category also includes children under 19 years of age.
Each company provides its employees with insurances on which you can receive payments. Some large organizations issue them not only to their specialists, but also to their families. Small companies that cannot provide insurance to employees often offer discounts on various products.
Free medical care is provided for low-income citizens. Americans spend 30 to 50 percent of their income on taxes. The largest deductions:
Low-income citizens, pensioners and students are not subject to taxes.
Almost all ordinary people are gaining loans. Cards are opened even in childhood and adolescence. Almost all US residents have savings accounts. This is insurance for a rainy day. Savings are used in extreme cases (job loss, etc.). Americans have to do financial planning in advance.
Kindergartens are paid. Approximately 700 dollars are paid monthly for one child. Expensive are sports, dance and other sections, in which it is customary to give kids and schoolchildren. Against the backdrop of all the payments, even a week of illness and disability can lead the middle class to bankruptcy.
How does the average American middle class live? Almost every second family pays a mortgage or rents a house. Small two-storey cottage costs about $5,000 per month, excluding utilities. medical, car insurance, student loans, etc. - all this costs a lot of money.
Cars are most often rented, bought - less often. But almost every adult family member has a car. Monthly payments on a car range from 200 to 400 dollars per month. If family members do not have a good credit history, then about own house and a cloudless life can only dream of.
How do ordinary people live in America? They prefer to shop at sales. Americans dress simply, they try not to spend a lot of money on clothes. When things wear out, they are taken to a humanitarian aid center. In America, there are many stores with discount branded clothing. What in other countries can cost thousands, in the United States can be purchased at sales for $50.
Discounts are made in stores all the time. Many sales are organized in honor of public holidays. After them, the remaining things come true at even lower prices. At big sales, queues begin to line up a few hours before the store opens, and some even set up tents on nearby lawns in which they spend the night. Most often this happens at supermarkets with household appliances.
How do ordinary people live in America? They spend a lot of money on coffee. Long queues form at the coffee shop in the morning. Then they repeat during lunch and after work. Despite the fact that coffee can be made at home and it will cost much less, millions of Americans spend hundreds of dollars annually on the purchase of an invigorating drink. No less in demand are bistros with fast food and frozen convenience foods for microwaves.
Many Americans consider it their duty to have a gym membership. Even if they don't go there at all. In America, it is not customary to borrow or lend money. If a person cannot take out a loan for his needs, then he is more likely to miss the semester, refuse to travel, but never ask for a loan of money. This is considered indecent.
All three emergency services always come to calls. Moreover, firefighters are most often the first to provide first aid. There are many toll roads and tunnels in the USA. Medicine is very expensive, but it is at a highly professional level. Americans call skyscrapers towers.
After I'm in Los Angeles, it's time to start looking for accommodation. A cursory analysis of offers for motels, apartments and rooms showed that the "City of Angels", like all of California, is a very expensive place to live. For example, a bed in
Of course, I turned to Airbnb, where the options for less than $40 a night were only a tent in the backyard or a place in a half-rotted camper. I’m not talking about motels at all - from $ 70 per day.
Ultimately, the most the best option there was a service for the accommodation of students at educational institutions– homestay. In my case, such a service was provided by GEOS School, where I attended a class. But one shouldn't think that Americans are all so kind and house students just like that. In fact, this is renting a room in the house, but food is also included in the accommodation.
01
Functions for the selection of housing are assigned to a special unit at the school, and for the client this service costs $ 100. In fact, this is such a department with a couple of realtors who do not go anywhere, do not sell anything, but simply send requests to people from their database. As a result of their complex mental activity, you receive an offer in the mail for American families where they plan to settle you.
At first I was offered to share one room with another student, but then they found an option with a room just for me, in the perception of the host of a young student who hardly speaks English. What was the surprise of the family when a bearded man in his early thirties showed up to them, who tried to talk to them in broken English with a funny Russian accent.
02
My home for 3 weeks 
Yes, I didn't mention the price. The result is $ 285 per week, including meals. And this is the most affordable and high-quality housing option in Los Angeles. Of course, with such a course as it is now, all this is not so cool, but when I lived there, the ruble was noticeably stronger.
I got to the city of Carson to the wonderful woman Judy (72 years old). She lives in her one-story house together with his grandson Brandon (the guy is stationed in the backyard in the guest house). It turned out that Judy had been working as a graphic editor in an automotive publication for more than 15 years: she made covers, typeset articles, photographed, so we quickly found common ground.
03
Judy's house is small but cozy: a spacious hall, kitchen, work room and two bedrooms. Furniture, interior - country style. This is because Judy came from Arizona, where her father had a farm. She said that when she came to Arizona with her friend Denis (Japanese), her father always looked at him very unkindly. It's amazing, but there are still "white states" in the US, such as Arizona. "Tolerance" is not recognized there.

Judy and Denis 
Judy is passionate about drawing, decorating, glass work. Her whole house is hung with her own paintings, and she always draws up Christmas presents herself. In this sense, Judy is a rare type of American who cooks well, knows how to do a lot of things with her hands, confidently drives a car, takes care of her grandchildren and her only daughter.

The youngest granddaughter is McKayla. I've never seen real snow, although the snow in California is heaps. Here she is helping to decorate Judy's spruce branch, generously applying white foam to it. Snow from a can.
11
12
By the way, it turned out to be easier to speak English with children: they do not use complex verbal constructions, and, as a rule, speak slowly, and generally understand you better than adults.
13
McKayla (center) at a school concert 
With the eldest grandson Brandon, we talked a little more. At 23, he is not involved in PR, photography, design and growing a beard. Brandon doesn't drink or smoke - he works at the port and goes to church. By the way, he recently proposed to his young girlfriend. However, his mother, as I understand it, is not enthusiastic about her daughter-in-law on a national basis.
14
Once Brandon invited me to visit a house church - this is, in fact, a room in a private house where Sunday church comrades gather: they read prayers, talk about the problems and successes of mankind through the prism of the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. All this takes place in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. I was warmly received, for a long time they were surprised that a person from cold Russia had been brought to their light.
15
They wrote to me on Instagram under this photo, they say, why don’t they drink beer in the bar in the evening, but do it incomprehensibly what?
16
Subjectively, Americans are much more religious than Russians. I'm not talking about the depth of religion, I'm talking about the popularity of the church among the population. It is difficult to meet unbelieving people in California. The number of all kinds of churches in Los Angeles just rolls over. Well, what to say, even in private homes they are organized.
Of course, the churches here are more modest than ours. It can be a small and unattractive building with bare walls, a small stage and school chairs - like an assembly hall in a provincial music school.
17
One Sunday, I visited Freedom Church in Torrance with Judy and McKayla. The whole action is divided, so to speak, into three acts: several musical compositions, when the audience sings along with the VIA (vocal-instrumental ensemble), then it is the turn of the priest's sermon and again a song block. After the musical part, children are taken to a special room, where animators take care of them.
18
19
Interestingly, the church has a full-time priest (pictured), but priests from other organizations are invited there quite regularly. When I was at Freedom Church, I came across a guest speaker, and a young man in a blue shirt and three children took the place of an ordinary parishioner, stepping out to the microphone from time to time.
20
On this day, the leading priest was a former fireman. He told a heartbreaking story about how, along with his colleague, he fell under the rubble in a fire. Both were badly damaged, and his colleague did not survive. The story raised the topic of responsibility for what happened, because it was he who led the subordinate into the burning building. As a result, everyone cried, hugged, and then sang optimistic songs together with the musical group.
21
As I understand it, the church is also important for Americans in terms of communication with each other. There it is not particularly customary to make friends with families, in our understanding of the word - they came to church once a week, talked, cried, hugged and parted. Yes, they also visit guests, but less often than we do, and, as a rule, they do not stay late.
After about two hours of service, everyone goes out for lunch, which is "derived" from what each brings. Since the Americans are extremely “motley” in terms of ethnic composition, the table is also full of variety. True, not everyone cooks themselves, like Judy, and often they just buy ready-made.
22
But Americans go to visit not with ready-made meals from the nearest cafe, but with what they themselves have prepared. In Russia, for example, according to tradition, the hosts treat, and the guests bring alcohol. It turned out that everything is exactly the opposite.
23
Together with Judy, I went to visit her friends, whom she meets about once every 2-3 months. The contingent is extremely diverse: Mexicans, Japanese, Europeans, Africans, gays, but at the same time they are all, as one, friendly, cheerful and open to communication.
24
In the photo - the owners of the house. A gray-haired man with a large bottle of wine and his Japanese wife, who speaks better Spanish than English. The fact is that many Japanese fled the war to the countries of South and Latin America, then moving to the United States.
25
26
Well, what about the attitude of Americans towards Russians? In short, they treat you to beer in a bar and confess your love for Putin. Not all of course, but there are many. Obama, they say, is a weakling with us, here Putin is a real man. Of course, they know better from the sunny coast of the Pacific Ocean.
27
Met the guys at the bar on the pier. The girl already jumped when she found out that I was from Russia. Everyone was interested in how to take the place of the first lady. I advised to do it through sports or journalism. Although her competition is too strong in the face of it is clear who.
But not everything is so clear. In the United States, just like in our country, the central television brainwashing system works great, but, unlike in our country, here they do not make Russia extreme, but convince citizens that America is doing everything right in foreign policy. Feel the difference?
But little is said about this at the household level, more about the weather, although in California the weather is stable like nowhere else. For a month of life in Los Angeles, it rained once and then at night. All other days it was sunny.
28
Continuation about life in the USA follows! In the near future I will write about the Mazda6 car, which I was kindly given for a test drive in Los Angeles with the assistance of the Russian office of a Japanese company, about the peculiarities of traffic in the USA, the picturesque road along the Pacific Ocean (Pacific Cost Highway); I will tell you about interesting cars such as Dodge RAM, Dodge Challenger, Chevrolet Camaro, Fiat 500.
