The friendliest

Went Christmas caroling with friends the night I got back... We only go to houses with elaborate Christmas displays and only ding religious songs to overtly religious nativity-scene status homes.... The ostentatious homes are surprisingly easy to find!

A little comparison between cph and Seattle decorations... Ill let you guess which is which:

The American friendly factor is extremely apparent to me. Even in the customs line people made a lot more eye contact, smiled, small talked. Wooooah. I also was way attuned to the required biometrics after doing my semester project on them! Anyone not American or Canadian has to submit face scans and digital finger prints left, right and both thumbs... I wanted to take photos but also didn't fancy having my iPhone smashed.

Now I'm back in Washington!!!! So beautiful.
