Going to a Ball Game.
What's the most quintessentially American thing you can think of, other than combo fast-food chains* and apple pie?
I submit that it is "baseball".
That's right, the day I arrive, I get to go to a baseball game with my cousins. They are big fans, so they can explain the rules** to me. This is pretty exciting.
If the Red Socks are playing, I'll barrack for them.
*"Hey Tacos are so GREAT! Kentucky Fried Chicken is so GREAT! Why can't I have Kentucky Fried Chicken in my Taco? Give me some Kentucky Fried Chicken in my Taco!"
** I don't mean the general rules, just the complexities and idiosyncracies that make any game entertaining.

Haha! Bahstan Rahb!!!
What about oversize, primary coloured sweaters with names of learning institutions written on them? That's pretty American. And the Japanese and Cubans also love baseball.

What town will you be in when you touchdown? What game will you be going too?

I'm going to San Fransisco, with flowers in my hair. I have cousins who live in the outer suburbs.

LOL Mike. White shorts with belt must accompany the socks with sandles.
The hot guy is Boston Rob from Survivor, of course. He often wore a Red Socks baseball cap because he was a big fan of Boston's baseball team, the Red Socks.

And he fell in love with Amber on the island. They formed an alliance and went all the way to the final two. He proposed just before the winner was announced. They got married on a beach.

And he's very good looking.
Even though some detractors shammed him, citing lies and backstabbing (oh, how unSurvivor of him), I liked his hutzpah and cleverness.
