#3 Americans are loud.

I know this is a stereotype we've all heard and perhaps observed at times, possibly much to our amusement at the reception desk of a museum in Milan, *ahem,* but today I was in Pike Place Market, and two middle-aged grocers, standing perhaps 2 meters (yards) away from each other were yelling their conversation at each other. Do they always use their outside voice, or was their conversation about why that specific breed of asparagus is tastier because of a certain chemical perhaps a work of performance art designed to increase sales? I don't know.

Seriously though, us Australians are just as loud as Americans, myself doubly so, so I think I may have found my people. I'm especially loving how friendly people in the Pacific North West (PNW) are - as friendly as West Australians, which I have found nowhere else. It didn't take long to be glad this is my new home.
