    I've been on English-speaking internet since i was like 5 and i've accumulated far more knowledge about the states than any Taiwanese should have (at least no one i know personally knows more about the states than i do)

    i'm posting this here cuz i don't know which subreddit is best for this, i don't want to use reddit, and no one would hear me yell on twitter dot com

    highways congested 24/7 (trains, bikes, walkable city layouts ftw btw)

    starbucks (sells absurdly sugary caffinated cream-containing stuff in a cup with your mispelled name on it; also bubble tea is the superior caffinated dessert in a cup >:) (made in taiwan) )

    arizona:
    east of california i think
    crap i checked google maps and just realized pheonix is here and not in texas i failed geography :pensive:
    people here live in lawn-containing suburban houses despite it being a fricking desert

    nevada:
    also east of california (at this point i've opened google maps so my geography knowledge is no longer impressive)
    las vegas
    jerma lives here

    its capital city juneau does not have road connections to the mainland for some reason
    anchorage

    many desperately want it to be a state

    puerto rico:
    similar statehood desires as dc
    arroz con gandules

    virgin islands, guam, other military bases in places like okinawa

    Extension of NYC and Philadelphia, with some (bad) shore stuff, and a little bit of redneck in the northwest
    Traffic is awful, politics are corrupt, and the people are rude, but at least we're diverse and have good food

    Just know that the entire west coast is depressing, the northern part because it is always raining and the southern part mostly because it never rains so everything is on fire
