I think Venezuelan people have absorbed too many things about American culture, but we still are more alike to Europeans in the way we live our lives and tough about the future. One thing very shocking to me was the fact that when you go to a restaurant in America and finished your food, the waiter automatically give you the bill without ask if you are done or maybe want a cup of coffee or desert. In my country it's very different, you have to ask about the bill and then you get it, but only if you've already ask for it.
Other thing that it's remarkable for me about Americans, it's the way they say hello, they don't kiss each other in the cheek. It has been really weird to me not to greet my home stay for example with a kiss and sometimes there a very awkward moment between us because I don't know what to do, and perhaps she feels uncomfortable if I give her a kiss.
