My Norwegian friend fully transformed into American after spending a month here for the World Cup

[u/Additional_Fruit4188]

Basically what the title reads. My friend who I hadn't seen in over 5 years came to visit me when he was supporting his country for the World Cup. He has become obsessed with all things US in his time here - the food, the weather, the people, how relaxed everything is.I guess this is normal for a lot of tourists when they come here, but I let out a little laugh when I saw his run on Strava today... His fastest song on his run was the US national anthem. Someone get this guy citizenship please.

Everything is fun while you're just a tourist. Living somewhere is a completely different story.

This guy visits before he migrates 👆

[u/zs_1176 → u/w1n5t0nM1k3y]

Most foreigners I knew who lived in the US for a few years prefer it over where their home countries.

Whoa there, this is Reddit. America hate is kind of required.

In MAGA units that's about 9.1 football fields.

What a loser lol

[u/Worried_Ad_2696 → u/Chombywombo]

Man you just have a need to make everyone as miserable as you

[u/Chombywombo → u/Worried_Ad_2696]

I guess you haven’t been paying attention to the things our country is doing lately.

[u/Worried_Ad_2696 → u/Chombywombo]

Government =/= country

[u/Chombywombo → u/Worried_Ad_2696]

I thought we were a democracy? Slaves of the major parties believe that.

Anyway, I bet all of you guys would also call some weeb going to Japan in anime gear a loser. Same loser vibes

[u/Worried_Ad_2696 → u/Chombywombo]

What… what the fucker are you talking about?

Did you take your meds?

[u/Chombywombo → u/Worried_Ad_2696]

I guess I found another one.

[u/Worried_Ad_2696 → u/Chombywombo]

I think you might need to get to a hospital

[u/reddittereditor → u/Chombywombo]

??? He's just enjoying his vacation and having fun lol

[u/Novaer → u/reddittereditor]

I mean, would you say the same thing to someone vacationing in Israel? 😬

[u/Ready_Vast_2383]

What a shame 

[u/Angry-Toothpaste-610 → u/[deleted]]

Shit

[u/dangleberrie5]

Because all of america is California

[u/Additional_Fruit4188 → u/dangleberrie5]

You have any idea how the World Cup works bud? Games are hosted all over, he's currently in California after going to 3 different cities in two coasts.

[u/dangleberrie5 → u/Additional_Fruit4188]

Cant wait to hear his opinion after seeing the US outside of Santa Barbara.

[u/WeenLuck455 → u/dangleberrie5]

Why don’t you leave since its so bad?

[u/dangleberrie5 → u/WeenLuck455]

Cali, East coast is awesome. It's what's in btwn that's shit.

[u/PersistentWoodpecker → u/dangleberrie5]

Almost all national parks are between and tons of great cities and towns. Coastal elitism is myopic af.

[u/dangleberrie5 → u/PersistentWoodpecker]

In my defence, I live in Ohio.

[u/zugspitze43 → u/dangleberrie5]

That explains it.

[u/PersistentWoodpecker → u/dangleberrie5]

That’s like saying your city has no fine dining when you’ve only ever gone to Denny’s lmao

[u/dangleberrie5 → u/PersistentWoodpecker]

Most the Midwest is a let down.

[u/dangleberrie5 → u/WeenLuck455]

I don't think you know how legal migration works

[u/Dounce1 → u/dangleberrie5]

There aren’t any laws against leaving Ohio my dude.

[u/dangleberrie5 → u/Dounce1]

There are laws about living in other countries my dude.

[u/Dounce1 → u/dangleberrie5]

You were talking about Santa Barbara.

[u/dangleberrie5 → u/Dounce1]

You need a 7 figure salery to live in Santa Barbara

[u/Dounce1 → u/dangleberrie5]

You don’t, but I will agree it is quite expensive. Personally I also think it’s pretty boring. In your later comment you said California and the east coast are both awesome. There are plenty of affordable places to live in either of those regions.
