WHAT IS ASTONISHING YOU IN USA



First time to reach in USA,  I think I am still in  South Africa,
More things resemble,
Let me tell you Americans and South Africans, 

Examination of the two Coutries

A) I can hear the songs  of traditional Roosters while driving in rural erears of USA same as in South Africa,
B) Their beautiful beaches , roads , malls and cities look like South Africans
C) More companies and farms  own by the  white people like in South Africa
D) Their currency is powerful than South Africans
E) The USA bank system is not  good like South Africans
F) The majority of black people are underprivileged  in both countries,
G) My mind continues questioning me , maybe I am right.

Similarity of a  top American and top African countries

A) There are beggars and homeless people of different races same as in South Africa
B) There are more beautiful independent women of different races  like in South Africa,
C) There are some volunteers who feed some people in the streets same as in South Africa,
D) There are many people who sleep in the shelters in many cities same as in South Africa
E) Majority of the people of the two countries buy more things in credit.
F) USA organised  Fifa World Cup in 1994 and South Africa in 2010,
G)  My eyes see everything , mind is telling me to share with millions of people this analyse.
