if there weren't enough reasons to consider americans retarded - like the shit food and water quality, the open street battle royale race wars, the tipping culture where the taxi driver will stab you if you dont tip him 15%, not being allowed tk swim on the beach was what made it clear for me - this entire country is fucking stupid, they are culturally inferior to europeans in every way, and i don't ever intend to go back.

picrel is a picture from the beach that day, as you can see there are no waves, the water is calm, yet not ONE of those disphits is swimming, they are just standing in the water. absolute idiots. they probably cant even swim.

>>212561761 (OP)
I kinda doubt the veracity of your story, only in the sense that an Austrian tourist would choose Chicago as their first destination in their debut travels to the US. I've spoken to a lot of euroids who's only impression of Chicago comes from rap music and gang violence, so they wouldn't even consider stepping foot here because they think it's a death penalty. Strange that it's someone's first choice.

That being said, did you enjoy your trip? Did you like the food in Chicago? I know a lot of Europeans also consider the food in America to be toxic, chemical laden sloppa (they're right, it is) so they either starve themselves or they eat tiny portions and cry the entire time, but it's the best chemical sloppa in the country, so if you didn't like the food in Chicago unfortunately you probably won't like any other amerigoy cuisine. Did you get around or did you mostly stay in the loop? Curious to see what you thought of the ethnic enclaves, like Chinatown, little Italy, Greek Town or the Ukrainian village. I know European cities aren't as segregated as Chicago where each ethnicity has their own neighborhoods and rarely do they mix; that was quite a shock for some of my European friends.

Also I'm sorry you couldn't visit our fair city 100+ years ago, if you had a time machine, you'd have been able to communicate only in German and have been totally fine for your Chicago trip; that's how many Germans live in the Midwest, but of course that was before the German Americans were culturally genocided by the anglos.

>>212562629
>decided to post a picture of the city
>its a picture of some random ass glass towers and not even a nice corner of the city (its fucking Schwedenplatz lmao)
that's exactly what i have come to expect of your simple minds, especially after visiting your land. You can visit all you want but you will always be a dumb American

I'd been considering moving to Chicago at some point but it always sounds undesirable these days.

>>212562913
>Strange that it's someone's first choice.
I went for work purposes, there was an event.
>That being said, did you enjoy your trip
No, sorry, see thread for more of my bitching.
>Did you like the food in Chicago?
Absolutely not, it was a massive let down.
>I know a lot of Europeans also consider the food in America to be toxic, chemical laden sloppa (they're right, it is)
Exactly. I unfortunately did not have the conditions to cook my own food to see really what grocery quality is like and what presumably most people eat most of the time (?), mostly hotel, restaurants and event venue food, it was really bad, the quality felt awful, it felt like empty calories where I would eat and then feel hungry again in 2 hours, all the restaurant and take out culture was fast food slop, unbelievable. Sorry to hear the rest is even worse.
>Did you get around or did you mostly stay in the loop?
I was mostly in the loop, unfortunately no time to get further out, but we were also clearly warned by colleagues about no go zones, so for the first time decided to keep it safe.
>you'd have been able to communicate only in German and have been totally fine for your Chicago trip;
Interesting, I will just say that my observation is that in the Loop, whites are a minority, and Spanish is widely spoken.

Thank you for the friendly effortpost, even while Im bashing everything about your country, i will admit many of you are friendly enough!

European tap water has fluoride though

Bongland is worse. Ireland is saved by the fact that the Paddy spirit will lift you up regardless where you are. I have not really been to Scandinavia except Denmark to be able to say how they live there, but other than that I entirely disagree with you, even east Europe and Balkans seem way more comfortable to live than USA, because its unironically safer and has much better food and water and transportation-wise its more similar to what you can expect.

>>212563031
its desireable because you can live a reasonably safe urban lifestyle without being rich. but Chicago is a muttmerican rust belt town that happens to be extremely big, rather than an international powerhouse like NY or LA.

1. many major cities in Europe are just as overrun by browns as muttmerica by now. While not as unsafe as the American ones, they have the very same shitholey feel. Some cities even have drug epidemics

2. there’s no „European“ food, France and even say us are different planets in that regard. if you say food culture in the USA is still worse than in the worst European countries, then, eh. I’ll take your word for it

I live in Chicago near two beaches so I know your feeling. Unfortunately, I need to go swimming at night or early morning if I want to go deeper than waist deep.

And also on the topic of (warm) beaches, Spain and Portugal are the only country where they’re available to a big part of the populace in the first place like in the USA

Where are the Austrian beaches? Or the German ones?

>>212563863

you can say there is no singular European cuisine, but saying there is no European food makes you sound like you study Media Culture at the University in Freiburg Liberal Arts and Sciences program, if you know what i mean.

Bongs eat worse than Americans, other than them the saddest food in Europe I had was in Slovakia but I would trade all of American food for a bootleg Knodel from Bratislava.

The Austrian riviera would be the #1 premier tourist destination in all of Europe, miles over places like Spain or Greece, had the world wars not happened, you dipshit. The only reason it isn't is because dagos and slavs decided that a bunch of picturesque resort towns sounds could be better if only they could import a bunch of Serbs to genocide the local Austrians/German speakers. Why? because they were heckin oppressive just like in Harry Potter and avengers end game

Only in third world shitholes, sre you one of those?

Illinois has banned swimming for your own safety. The Great Lakes are all Superfund sites full of radioactive waste. Consider yourself lucky you didn't get a UTI or cut on submerged wreckage.

The water is for drinking not swimming anyway. I don't want to consume your sweat and piss. Go to a waterpark if you want to play in water.
