POST #36—WE LIKED (COUNTRY) SO MUCH!

I like (country) so much.
                  They are so nice to Americans.
                  They are so polite.
                  They take dollars without complaining.
                  They are so neat and clean.
                  They don't expect tips.
                  Their traditional costumes are so colorful.
                  Their coffee is so good.
                  They know how to make a good hamburger.
                  I feel right at home, but cheaper.

I don't like (country) at all.
                  They are so rude to Americans.
                  They are so sloppy.
                  It's impossible to understand the money here.
                  There is too much garbage.
                  Their kids don't blow their noses.
                  They open and close their shops whenever they want to.
                  They are always touching themselves.
                  No one is wearing traditional clothing.
                  The coffee is terrible.
                  How can they not know how to make a decent hamburger/steak/barbeque?
