The first time I visited America, I was 14.
I'd never heard of Thanksgiving, and my first day in America, y uncle showed me the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
I was like, "This is every day in America, as advertised! They have so much money, they have a praty for Garfield every day! Mariah Carey is here!"
No other day has lived up to that first day.
to live up to (someone's expectations) - оправдать ожидания
letdown - подвести, расстроить, не оправдать ожиданий
Thanksgiving [θænksˈgɪvɪŋ] День благодарения
Macy's - магазин игрушек
as advertised! - как в рекламе, как и обещали
Garfield [ˈgɑːfiːld]
