Not all of this is correct.
#2 - I actually see this more in Nicaragua than in the US. Lots of countries have the weird "flags everywhere" thing.
#3 - yeah that is nuts, BUT taxes is generally well known wherever you are and is nearly always 6-8%. You are not surprised by how much things are when you go to pay.
#4 - Tipping is hard anywhere you are not used to equally. Americans feel exactly the same why in Europe as Europeans feel in America.
#16 - I've really never been somewhere that wasn't friendly.

#19, no one is ever required to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Don't worry as an American having kids chant it at school is just as creepy to me as it is to you.

Lots of people are required to say it. Legally most public school kids are protected from it, but only public school kids. Sadly the laws often don't have protection for private school kids.

That's interesting. I could have sworn it was a universal right to not say it, outside of the military and government.
