it is really difficult for non-Americans to understand America. They think they do, but they don't.

I finally believe you may be right. I always think and talk about "Westerners" as if they/we all have the same mentality and opinions, just with some minor differences, e.g. Southern Europeans more impulsive, talkative and openly emotional than Northern Europeans etc.

But all that comes from experiences with European mentalities (plus Americans coming to Europe for Yoga Retreats etc = Americans who might give me a distorted picture), contrasting that with my experience of far larger differences between all of the above and Asian mentalities.

That leads me to my "Westerners", generalizing that with maybe a too thick brush onto ALL Westerners.

Maybe Americans ARE different, I don't know anymore.
