Non-Americans share their thoughts on all 50 US states
Even in this age of globalization, social media, and 24/7 news, there is still so much we don’t know about how other human beings live. It’s endlessly fascinating to see how people from different countries eat, study, speak, dress and go about their daily activities.

I asked the BuzzFeed community to give me a word, phrase, or brief thought about as many U.S. states as possible.

I thought this exercise would provide an interesting window into how the rest of the world perceives our huge, diverse, wild and strange country.

Thanks to everyone who submitted comments. I find it endlessly fascinating to unravel from afar the assumptions we all have about each other. Feel free to add more to the conversation in the comments to this article!
