Americans are too fast

While we were walking the other teacher (Cartmen) home, were discussed the difference between rivers and streams and how Americans do everything so fast, we were all walking and I had to think about not walking fast, and staying with the two others. I talked about how my dad, brother and I would have walking races and that dad would always beat us because he had longer legs.

The other teacher said that Americans are always going places fast, moving fast and thinking fast. I agreed that we are raised to be competitive and always thinking. I think that is why I could not think it was possible to just sit around for a day, I would get too bored.

When it was getting towards the end of the day, I was getting mentally tied, even though most of the people know English and were speaking it, except at meals, it was still a challenge for me because I had to think about what they were talking about, because they would be talking to each other and then ask me a question, and I would find people looking at me like they were expecting me to answer, but would not have been listening and did not know what to say.
