I have met people when I've been traveling over seas that quite literally get their ideas of the United States from movies.
Gangsters in the cities, cowboys and outlaws in the country.
To be fair, this is what our TV shows and movies seem to be obsessed with.
Still, it does make me smile.
The United States often contains three places, New York, California, and Texas.
The reality is that many places in the world(Not just the U.S.) so long as you don't invade criminal territory by yourself, aren't out late at night, and you are respectful of others you'll be just fine.
