THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
“Opposites attract” is an old saying, which describes the United States most accurately. Not only in the sense of its diverse landscape, but also cultural opposites can be found in the land of endless possibilities: From the lovely green hills of Vermont in the Northeast, to the tropical vegetation in Florida in the south, to the stark dry steppes and deserts in California’s backcountry. The hectic large cities lie near untouched paradises; snow-covered peaks and the beautiful wild coastlines are equally alluring.
COWBOYS AND DIVAS
Cowboys who wipe the sweat from their brow, and Hollywood divas wafting of perfume are characteristic of the American stereotype, as are hard-working Chinese corner-store owners and Afro-American jazz musicians, playing unforgettable tunes on their trumpets in the streets of New Orleans. But the traces of the British and their traditions have not disappeared and are found in the historical city of Boston, for example.
