After living in both countries my whole life, as a Brit, I can honestly say that Britain is not very close to America at all. Maybe on the surface, the popular culture (mostly because of Hollywood & TV) and the language are similar, but that's about where the main similarities end, and the subtitles begin.
What George Bernard Shaw said was true. England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
- ims 13y agoI'd be very interested to hear you expand on this.
- staticfish 13y agoBecause i'm not eloquent or articulate, I'll refer you to my favourite travel writer - Mr. Bill Bryson. He's lived in both countries his whole life and has made a living writing about the (mostly funny) subcultures of each. I recommend starting with "Notes from a small island".
