Back when I was a very small child living in Korea, my view on America was basically wide, open plains of bison and Indians roaming free, rivers of sweet Coca-cola, giant 18-wheelers crossing the country in an epic adventure, rugged cowboys, etc. Then I moved to the U.S. and found that only the Coke thing is basically true.
