If you’re an American and ever go to another country my biggest advice to you is to go someplace “American themed”. Even if it’s just a seasonal section in a grocery store. It’s always a good time and sometimes it’s even cute.

When I was in Germany my cousins dragged me to a “rodeo” and it was hilarious. It was just a clown and his assistant in bad cowboy outfits lassoing things. Literally a clown. I’m not making that part up. There were no horses or bulls. I’ve seen more impressive lasso tricks from four year olds.

It was so fun. The American section of the grocery store in Switzerland had blueberry juice in it. What the hell is blueberry juice? Delightful, is what it is. 10/10 not accurate in the slightest would recommend. I’m glad they’re having fun.

My middle school teacher’s wife is from Japan. And the first time he visited Japan around Christmas her family plopped a sponge cake with strawberries in front of him like “look!!!”

And my teacher is like “???? Nice!”“

And they tell him "it’s Christmas Cake!”

So he learns Japan has Christmas Cake, which is an “American thing.” Except if you’re American, you’re realizing Christmas Cake is NOT a thing we do.

They were pretty devastated that their American custom was made up. But hey, Christmas Cake is GOOD. so win lose

Man I WISH we had Christmas cake.
