3 good things about America

It's been a year since I lived in America. In this article, I'll list three of the good things about America that I find particularly good.

１．Using variety of love expression

When people see family for the first time or when they leave, they gently hug or kiss (on the cheek or head).

Also, people hug lightly with friends who haven't met a long time.

They always tell "I love you" each other and the compliments to the other person are natural and good. You can feel safe, sense of well-being and self-affirmation that are important in life.

２．Friendly and open-minded

Most people have a friendly demeanor. People talk to you at supermarket, restaurant, library and so on even if you don't know. For example, "Hi, how are you doing?" "That (pointing to the product), it was good! definitely recommended!" "Which beer is good?".

I still get confused, "Is she an acquaintance?" or "I don't know how to reply," but I think it's nice that being friendly because it gives you a smile.

Is it because various races and cultures coexist? I think there is a strong tendency to have an open mind.

３．Husband is active in housework and childcare

Compared to Japan, men actively participate in housework and childcare. At the same time, they do their job. They usually don't work overtime and go home early.

My husband also does housework weekdays. When I feel sick, he says "You should rest and take care of yourself now." and he will do all the food preparation, grocery shopping, cleaning, take out garbage, washing, drying and folding.

These are the three points that I think are particularly good in the United States. There are many other things, so I'll write it on another time.
