Imagine how it is to be German, live and fly in the US and (try to) write for the whole World of glider pilots. I also have to get along with the different cultures and I can really feel what you are going through. One more thought: Most "Americans" are more polite than I can ever be.

You see, for the rest of the world "America" is the whole continent, and USA peolple use the term in a fashion that seems to "appropiate" the name of the continent to the name of the country. I can imagine than in some past time, associating USA to America was not consider fashion, outside the USA. I beleive that right now is just funny curiosity, for most. <br />PS: a 3 minute red-light in a no-traffic intersection is equal to a Green light in the pampas :)Gustavo Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269686867044698894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-624684896971296910.post-75288559817546289692013-01-07T05:21:15.582-03:002013-01-07T05:21:15.582-03:00Watched it on the flight tracker - agony!
