It's amazing how difficult it is to get a feel of the identity of the Americans, they are like the melting pot of all the nations, a great mixture of all nations, religions, shapes and attitudes...the English you hear in the Universities or the major cities are some weired derivation of all accents and linguistics, you are not sure how to respond or whether you heard the correct word or not... in the airport of Washington D.C., a Starbucks booth -the coffee shop landmark around the globe- has all-Egyptian employers, I handed the guy the 2 USD price for an Americano coffee, he looked at me and said with his funny Egyptian-English "and 10 cents for Uncle Sam"...now that was funny, he used the right term to identify Tax collector as any Egyption "Uncle Sam"...I just love the wit and sarcastic nature of Egyptians it's indeed their survival tools...I definitely meet non-American more than Americans in here...
