Finally! I have some time to write about American people as I promised. Homecoming is almost over.. just tomorrow's dance and then boring school starts with smiles.. :--/ But I will tell about Homecoming after it's finally over. So I can keep u people excited (bored) little more.
Well, I try to tell u everything most funny and interesting things about Americans (impossible).
A huge thing to us as we r Finnish people is how they say "moro", "hei", "morske", "terska" etc. It's really often that one word changes to this: "Hi, how are you?" "Good, how are you?" "I'm good." And u must NEVER answer; "Really bad, my dog died, I broke up with my wife and my car was stolen." 'Cause they don't wanna hear it. It's just "terska". So keep it simple people! And they do that in stores, at school, in streets. It's so funny at start to think that a saleman is interested how r u feeling. But it's just a way to say hello. So when I come back it will be "Terska, miten rullaa?"
Most of the people here r so nice and friendly. Almost everyone at school has said something to me. It helped me to feel that I belong the gang right away. If u r feeling sad here, U MUST hide it. Just smile and everything's gonna be fine. And when u smile, smile that everyone sees ur teeth! My mom has said about this to me. And I try to learn this way, I have to, I want to. :) But I look like moron with teeth and smile.. Maybe it's just my opinion.
American people ARE NOT so fat as u imagine. They can do sports as well and I think here in Iowa it's as much fat people as Finland. (I move here from Finland so now number stays same :DD) And even though they say that girls r not so hot and pretty as in tv shows. But I have to say that u can find them here if u want. So if u are gay, go away, all i have to say. Joke. :--D
Sarcasm. It's the way of humor that if u use that here u r good ! Our family here is so sarcastic. And it's funny. I love them btw.
When I compare people to Finnish people. I have to say that ofc 'cause I'm Finnish I love my country people. But now has happened an unfair.. I love AMERICAN people also and very much ! (((: They show their happiness and are really social human beings. That's it.
I just described people I love now. I also feel like an American 'cause I HAVE STARTED THINKING IN ENGLISH !!! : )))
'til the Homecoming-maraton-novel

One thing I forgot to say: Americans also hug more the people and even people they don't know well. Men hug men and it's normal, not gay. That's a great difference and I have to say I have got used to it now. :--) That's the thing we should have in Finland too! Hug more each other mates !
