First Impressions

A collection of first impressions about the UNITED STATES of AMERICA for those new to this land:

America is a very diverse culture to the kiwi one- LA is big, smelly and flat. H. Kerr

We are driving down the motorway and all you can see is advertising, huge movie banners hanging from buildings and brightly coloured takeaway signs dominating the concrete landscape. O. Clarke

I hopped off the plane at LAX with a dream in my cardigan, like welcome to the land of fame excess (whoo), am I gonna fit in? - M. Cyrus

It's very different and not what I expected - so hot and a very industrial environment.. A.meltzer

Very tired and hungry- this place is much bigger, dirtier and more polluted than home- M Haycock

Just one big concrete jungle. K.Esterhuizen

Why would you populate a flat desert?.. I'm just seeing different shades of dusty greys and browns and whites, with lots of random palm trees which seem to be very unhappy about their location. L.A. is trying to deceive me into thinking its tropical... T.Batts

LA is huge, dirty, and hot but it is a pretty awesome place...Don't know why, just is. McDermott

A bit tired from the long plane ride but wow, everything in L.A is so much bigger than NZ! Also, it's really hot and dry. S.Baek

Everything is two times bigger here: the billboards, the buildings, the cars. And the people. -Z.Xie
