With the internet, it seems that you can learn about everything you wish. And that's partially true — you indeed can learn a lot online on various topics. Yet, sometimes there are things you can only fully comprehend in real life.
Like certain cultural aspects of a country — it's one thing to read about them online, but it's a whole different thing to experience them in reality. Today, we prepped you a full-blown list of things that you can comprehend only after visiting the United States. So, let's jump in to see what they are, shall we?

I found the class divides between upper and lower class to be rather apparent. One person seems totally normal then you talk to someone else who speaks as though they haven’t learned to read.

The REAL USA isn’t like what social media, movies, and the news portray.
Neighbor to neighbor, people get along and are kind to one another. Very few cops shoot black or brown people for sport. People don’t walk around toting guns waiting to k**l each other. There are very few riots.
It’s huge and spread out. City to city and state to state is different culturally and otherwise.
Kids don’t shiver in fear all day waiting for a school shooter to k**l them.

How scrumptious my Aunt Edith’s blueberry grunt is, especially when hot off the stove and topped with fresh whipped cream from my cousin’s dairy farm near Skowhegan.
