Land of the free and the home of farting. 

Driving a pickup truck and owning two shotguns.

Depends on where you live. Generally, I'd say urban, suburban, and rural life are the main divisions that determine lifestyle, but there are also other factors as well which depend on region, or class. Expect a more individualistic and consumer society that has many different poles in conflict. Also expect many contradictions. You can basically find anything.

Probably the best thing about American life is that you can fail and start anew with no qualms. Because there are literally thousands of different life-paths and life-styles, there are many options to meet your standards of happiness. People are generally optimistic and rebound from failure.

The same thing we do in Europe, except that your gas is much cheaper. So life over there isn't more exciting than that?

70 cent dozen of eggs, that can't be right though, can it? Here a package of 12 eggs costs over $3.

Now we're on to something! Yeah, this I think are good examples of something concrete that reflects the image Euros have of American lifestyle - the type of active social life you describe, cars and sports.

I wonder if young people in European nations meet other people as much as in America, and how much it varies from nation to nation. Immigrants in Sweden are definitely more social than natives though, I say that based on circumstantial evidence.

This thread is turning out far more positive and civil than I expected, lol.

Day to day life really is far more calm and mundane than our media would have you believe. Then again, I'm now in one of the most surreal cities and professions in the world, so your mileage can certainly vary based on the path you take.

Interesting. So on average 7000 people watching each game in the league the two players from my town will be playing in, compared with 1,800 per game here. And yet people won't recognize them when they take a stroll through town over there.

I like that the interest in football is growing in America, but I don't like that your leagues are franchise based and don't have promotion/relegation. It feels so artificial. It's a pity Australia has adopted that model too. It's much more fun when you can root for a team and watch it climb up the league system. Like right now, my team is at the top of the 2nd division and a favorite to climb up to the first division. We were so close last year.

These three tiers, are they all nation-wide? Like, our first and second tiers or divisions have 16 teams each, while our third tier has two separate divisions or "conferences", one North and one South, 14 teams each, 28 in total.

Do you follow USA football regularly? What about European leagues? And the Euro cup? The America cup?

Well, there is much gluttony here.  Restaurants sever HUGE portions, usually enough for 2-3 people.  People in most places drive Everywhere.  Things are spread out. 

Many super conservative fundamentalist religions all around.  Maybe they are really religious.

People are generally friendly to strangers in the USA. 

But my guess is that as you described them they are mediocre.  They might be really good players here.  They would get the fame, money and notoriety that comes from being one of the best at something.
