assaultpotato comments on Non-Americans who have been to the US.. What is the weirdest thing about America that Americans don't realize is weird?

I was just in Göcek and Ankara and I had some wildly interesting interactions with locals when they asked me how I liked Turkey.

"I like it, very beautiful country, lovely people, great food."

"So you'd move here?"

"Uh... perhaps not"

"So you don't like Turkey"

those fuckers have some nerve asking you that shit, when we have so much brain drain that most high streets are basically completely catering to elderly people with hearing aid and similar stores on each one, because all the working age people leave to live abroad.

No shit rich foreigners don't want to move to turkey.

source : part of the brain drain for both turkey and the UK. fuck them countries.

My girlfriend and her sister are also in the brain drain. Definitely a sad state of affairs, so many of her friends and friends family's have been either political prisoners, or had ongoing court cases, etc.

I've been trying to learn Turkish so we can move her family over here too and I can actually chat with them, but I fear they'll need to work on their English so they can get around.
