We are known as the home to hamburgers and hotdogs. There are lots of restaurants to eat alone or meet other people at, and plenty of take out options such as McDonald's or Burger King. A lot of the portion sizes here are rather large  and since they're cheap people tend to go with the larger sizes. Sodas are also cheap here and often restaurants give free refills on them. Not a lot of people cook home meals because of all the fast food options, but when they do they try to make them healthier.

People date off and on all the time. A lot of it is just casual dating and not that big of a deal. If the relationship goes as far as getting married, it could still either work out or not work out. More times than none, people end up getting divorced, and although it's not the best of news, it's also not that uncommon.

This is normally just used as a greeting and not really a question. We also use a lot of hand motion while talking to better convey our point or to give someone else encouragement. This includes high fiving, waving, shaking hands, pointing, and more.

There are different types of school a child could go to likem university, public / private school, boarding school, elementary school and so on. When a child gets in trouble or doesn't do their homework, they typically don't get their points for that assignment or get a detention, suspension, or an expulsion, in extreme cases. Most schools in the US have officers in case of fights or alarms and have practice drills in case of emergencies.

The big umbrellas include lyrical, contemporary, jazz, ballet, theatre, and the biggest umbrella of them all would be hip hop. To foreigners hip hop is probably one of the biggest ways they view our entertainment industry.

They take dating pretty seriously and are always looking for a partner. When it comes to marriage, it's not taken lightly when someone divorces; however, in some cases it is understandable. But, when someone cheats, it's highly looked down upon.

There are rankings in their school system. This is what stresses the children of that education system out the most because they always want to be number one. They have a day that is known as a silent day that purely  focuses on the college entrance exam that they take. There are typically more people in a classroom here than there are in American classrooms, and they stay in the same classroom with the same people the whole day, instead of the students changing classrooms,  the teachers change classrooms.

When meeting they typically bow of of politeness and the degree to which they bow depends on how high up the person they are bowing to falls under their social ranking. Typically the social ranking is from eldest (highly respected) to youngest.
