From:The Hudson Review
Living in Europe, I gradually came to appreciate American virtues I'd always taken for granted, or even disdained-among them a lack of self-seriousness, a grasp of irony and self-deprecating humor, a friendly informality with strangers, an unashamed curiosity, an openness to new experience, an innate optimism, a willingness to think for oneself and speak one's mind and question the accepted way of doing things.
Some interesting info in this one.
