Weird country, weirder people. I attended a wedding in Pennsylvania a few years ago, I was counting the days before I could come home, it was a alcohol free area full of ultra religious Amish , really should do my research before accepting invitations !

Have to disagree with you - it's a big country, with lots of different folks living different lifestyles; respect them, they'll respect you; one area doesn't give you a view on the whole country - that would be like visiting a small village in Cornwall (or inner-city areas in any large UK city) and using that as a stereotype for all Brits.
I've visited LA, San Francisco, San Diego (and points in between), Boston, Provincetown, and other parts of Massachusetts, New Jersey coastline and New Jersey inland (Summit), and they are miles apart culturally and socially. I love visiting New York, but also like visiting the small towns in Connecticut, but again, completely different ethos. Denigrating an entire country, and it's people, based on one visit, reflects more on you than them, imho.
