{UAH} AMERICAN ARE GENERALLY FRIENDLY PEOPLE

AMERICAN ARE GENERALLY FRIENDLY PEOPLE 

By Abbey Kibirige Semuwemba 

Americans are very friendly people - Everyone chats with you like they've known you for a while. They ask "how are you today?". My brother in law, Tim, kept saying "hello" to almost everyone we met in the lifts, and he would wish them a good day, like he already knew them.

There's a Muslim guy selling halal food opposite the W hotel at Times Square. He often put on his quran soundly, but that didn't stop all kinds of people from buying food off him in big numbers. I bet he makes more money than even a minister in Uganda. 

Americans like talking about the UK royal family once they know you are from England.  My other brother- in law, Seif, took me to this mega store selling shoes on the outskirts of Boston. A lady on the till, Wendy, spoke to me for ages about King Charles's coronation( i didn't even watch it on TV).

About Uganda, one or two discussed with me about the LRA and Idi Amin, mostly.

I don't understand where news media find horrible people to represent the Americans. These people don't represent the USA. The politicians, mainly,  portray Americans as anti- Muslim, but I didn't get a sense of that at all.

There's only one black young girl(from California) I sat with on a bus tour in Newyork-- she rarely talked to me. I guess she saw an old guy and thought," This guy shouldn't even be here." Lol!
