Chronicles of a Tourist in the Elections Week of the United States
My experience as a tourist in a chaotic week
I know what you are thinking now.
Why did you choose this week to come to the United States?
I could tell you a lot of excuses like I had to solve a work errand or a sick family member. But I just thought, what is the worst thing that can happen?
And I am surprised by the answer.
Many people have positive and negative things to say about their country. And if you are one of those who would like to leave the United States because of the way it is administered, I would advise you to think about it again.
This week has been incredibly good. And I am going to explain in detail what I have experienced compared to my country in an election week.
Before the elections
I arrived in the United States for a vacation on October 31. Everything was incredibly calm. I visited some places in Florida, like malls, restaurants, even the zoo, and the botanical garden. At night I went out for a walk.
Everything was quiet. There were some people on the street with posters and flyers. But very moderate.
