This is not America

I live in a overly-educated, refined, rich bubble. We feel safe and protected (except from the robberies and the oh-so-scandalous murder). But this is not America.
The other day we were leaving the Friday night party at the museum and one of us suggested eating at Burger King. The clever answer that another one gave was:
"I don't live in the US, I live in Cambridge".
Latin-Americans always felt close to American culture: movies, candies, brands, music - all the imperialistic propaganda (this is an ironic joke). However, after 1 year living here - do I really know America?

Bonus track - David Bowie (LOOOOOVE him - I could do a whole series of posts based only in his song titles)
