Fast food.
Freedom.
GU..? [GU is a clothing store]
Freedom!
Everything is big.
Yeah.
People are cheerful and positive.
Food portion sizes are always big.
That's what I like about America.
America is full of people from different countries and backgrounds.
These three things.
Really?
Boston?
People are cheerful and positive.
And hamburger.
They are not as shy as us.
Hey, don't steal mine!
America has lots of people from different countries.
The first thing that came to my mind is baseball. (Major League)
Physically, they're large
and often eat hamburgers
Entertainment, movies, Hollywood.
Full of people from different countries.

[What are the good and bad stereotypes that Japanese have about America?]
They're open and accepting of a lot of things.
They have many people from different countries.
So they're very accepting.
You took mine.
The opposite of shy?
Sociable.
Welcoming.
I know many bad stereotypes about America.
You can tell us them all.
There are many overweight people.
A lot of cursing.
Using the F word a lot.
There's a lot of gun crime.
There are many sociable people, holding parties a lot.
Since food portion sizes are big, there are more overweight people than in Japan.
But I like chubby people, so that's a good stereotype for me.
That's great!
Sociable.
And cheerful, unlike us.
Easy to talk to.
Crazy.
Some people are crazy.
They cheat.
Gun crime.
Everyone's confident.
Also, friendly.
Japanese people are kind, but shy.
I think American people are more open and friendly.
The food is oily.
I guess that's it.
Really?
I don't really have a bad image of American people.
There are many people from different countries and backgrounds.
Freedom
Portion sizes are big so the meals have a lot of calories
That's not a stereotype. That's a fact.
I see.
