I think one thing that amplifies people's views on Americans whilst abroad, is that they typically talk louder than most other people. This tends to make them seem insufferable when they complain, even though we all do - albeit with a bit more confidentiality.
Having been here now, I'm struck with how normal it all is, although I have noticed this sense of imbued sensationalism. Everything is a big deal and has implications to the average person - be it eating a raw egg, to walking forty blocks at 4am. And for Aussies, that stuff is laughable, being that we pride ourselves on our resilience.
