I lived in the US for almost 15 years.
7 years in California and 8 in Arizona.
I enjoyed my time there and I found most of the people I came into contact with to be pretty easy going and down to Earth.
When I came home to Oz, it was a different story, it was as if I didn’t recognise the place. People had grown distant and appeared unapproachable and cold. The Aussie spirit seemed to have died...
I felt lost in my own country and still do, it’s a shame really because in the old days everyone seemed to be friendly and full of mate ship. Oh how I long for those days now.
I remember having block parties in Arizona as we lived in a cul de sac and all the neighbors would engage in a pot luck and bring their own dishes, it was a really good experience and I miss it immensely.
Nothing like that happens here now, all of my neighbors seem angry and hostile never even waving or stopping for a chat.
So you Americans had something special back then...is it still the same now?
Judging from some of the comments here lately I’m guessing things have changed for you as well.
A sign of the times or something else?
Quoting: Who_Fucking_Cares That's something that is luck of the draw - you could go a few streets over and nobody would ever have a get together. If you land in a place that has at least an annual block party - quite lucky!
