What is one thing people think about your home country, that is a total misconception?
I am not the first blogger to start a ”Question of the day” series. I used to participate to Danny’s Let me ask you a question posts regularly, but since he has almost stopped pubishing them, I thought I’d give it a go. We’ll see if I stick to it, depending on the answers I get!

Being from India one misconception is about spicy food. People think all over India you only get spicy food.
Being traditional we certainly respect and are open to positive culture of other countries too.

People love the traffic jams when they’re visiting India for the first time. Trust me, they have seen only the tip of the iceberg 😂😂 Traffic jams can last longer than 6 hours here and it’s horrible to be stuck in one.. standing still at one place/moving slower than a tortise for that long 😏😣

German’s being coffee drinkers. I grew up in a tea drinking family and if you are from the North from Ostfriesland you drink more tea than the British. 😁 https://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/24/travel/in-northern-germany-a-robust-tea-culture.html 🙋♀️🐝🌻

Old post but I want to say I agree with two of the posters above about this “great” land. But, I don’t know who would actually be thinking of it nowadays considering…

I know this is an older “quickie” but it intrigued me. The other Americans who have commented all said fairly negative things about the good ol’ USA. I mostly agree with their comments too, but with this disclaimer. America still is the land of the free and opportunity abounds depending on how you define those concepts. To someone who has lived where fear rules and there is little freedom, I’d bet America is free as free can get to that person. Opportunity is what the individual makes of it too. Some people can find opportunities all over the joint here. Is it the same as it WAS, once? Nope. Because things change. Society has changed.
My own choice about the misconception that probably abounds about America. We’re not half as violent nor lawless as we are portrayed. There are loads of places where you can live your entire life and not be shot at, nor even ever see a gun or violence of any sort.
Just like everywhere else in the world, there are a lot of layers to America …. just like that proverbial onion everyone keeps talking about.
