It probably wouldn't hurt for some of us to eat a little humble pie. My experience in foreign countries, even 50 years ago, was that a lot of people seemed to feel that people from the United States were rather arrogant, even though we are trying to be friendly. Calling ourselves American can really bother people from Mexico, Canada, Central or South America. The people in Argentina called me Estado Unidense (United Statesian) or Yankee. With the Argentine accent, that sounded to me like they were calling my "junkie". Needless to say, I didn't like the sound of that. So breaking the ice wasn't easy. I eventually made life long friends with them, but it wasn't a great way to start.
As far as people from other countries hating our government, especially places like Panama, Canada and Greenland, I can only think to comiserate with them, and let them know that is one of the reasons I'm coming to their country now.

The only one trying to claim the Panama Canal is Donald Trump. The US gave Panama the canal back. USA has absolutely no rights to the canal; nor does China or any other country. US built the original canal on Panamanian territory. Panama has since expanded the canal for larger cargo carriers that are used today. If Trump decides to take the canal by force he will be breaking the most essential internstional law, that of each nation's sovereignty. just like Putin, that would make him a war criminal that any country could arrest if he steps out of the USA.

Hi out there. I haven't left the USA yet, but I do plan on it when I can get some income coming in besides my Social Security every month. I'm planning to start a new blog about what it is like to live in the USA now that Mr Trump is taking over. I want people to have a safe place to vent and collaborate about ways to try to keep our lives safe and relatively normal. I also want to use it as a place we can all get a laugh. Tentatively the blog will be called "Moderately Older Lesbians on the Go". I am a free lance writer, so I want to get some good content out there, but for expats too, not just people in the States. If you have any other ideas for a name let me know. Anyway, one of the things I want to know from you is how lesbian life is where you are now? Where are you? How is the living situation? Is it safe and peaceful? Or is it tense? Can you be out? Let's talk all about it ladies. I'll let you know when my website is up and working. It will probably be another couple of weeks. But feel free to reply now.
Thanks. Can't wait to hear what you have to say!
