The United States of America

                              

The United States of America 

 USA is also known as America which is not unusual since USA stands for the United States of America. The capital of the US is Washington DC (District of Colombia). The country is not like other countries. North- America is devided into 50 states. These 50 states represents 50 stars at the American flag.

Before I knew different people who lived in USA, I would say that an average american would look fat and lazy. This because of all the incredible fast food restaurants they have created. Mc Donalds, KFC (Kentucky Fried Chicken), Subway and Wendys are some examples. Though not all of the 313 847 465 inhabitants looks this way.

Other things I associate with America is the Apple products, (which I belive is the greatest tecnological device of the century), different amazing cars like Ford and Chevrolet, and longboarding (especially California).

Besides being the coolest country in the world (though I have never been there), USA have got an amazing president. Barack Obama, which is the first black president in Americas history, have just been re-elected for 4 more years. I think that Obama is a very smart and succesfull president. He is also a democrat.

The age limit for voting in America is 18. Drinking is 21 and for driving you have to be 16 years old.
