Never judge people by their looks or even "Don't believe everything you hear", experience it.
Except people at work, whom I met during a month's stay in San Diego, some of the other experiences showed how different people behave in other country, of course that’s because of their past experiences.
Typically I used to walk from office to hotel in the evening. Last bus was at 4pm and taxies were never available. One such evening, I was walking to the hotel around 6 p.m. and I was the only one walking on the road. A police car coming from the front, of course I got anxious and little feared, "Ayla, I'm walking so quietly, is there anything wrong?". He ran forward first towards me, but then walked to the middle of the road, picked up two plastic bottles that had fallen and came back. That wasn’t his job but he only did it so that the bottles didn't pose a threat to speeding cars.
Another police experience - I met some other kids from IT, we went out on a Saturday for movie and then mall. Strangely only I had mobile so I called a taxi but there was no chance of coming because it was far from the downtown. Already 10.30pm and we were 7 km away from hotel. We then started walking covering half distance in one and a half hours, That time s police car came and stopped near us. The boys were scared when they saw the police were getting off the car. As a lame cow in a calf, I went ahead and talked to the police. After a casual inquiry, the police offered to drop us at the hotel. But alas, these kids were so scared that they said no, they had bad experience back in India. Finally, we reached hotel at 1.30am. That day we realized that the police help people and there are no monsters as they look.
In the United States, everyone you see on the road says hi, hello. I experienced that priority is for pedestrians then bicycles then motor vehicles. 99.99% people follow this without fail. There are many Americans who come forward to help.
The bad feelings we heard about the American people were erased in that one month.
