A viral Japanese creator known as ‘Bob’ arrived in the United States expecting hostility, but instead found himself embraced by a ‘kind and friendly country’ during his journey to the Lone Star State.
Texas Welcomes the World
Bob, who became a social media sensation for his high-energy reactions while experiencing American culture for the first time, visited popular spots in Dallas like the Katy Trail Ice House and Terry Black’s Barbecue.
‘I thought that American people hate tourists… but when I [came] here, that image, changed,’ Bob told Fox News Digital. ‘I think the media posts negative news because they want to attract [viewers], but… America is really kind and friendly and [a] really nice country.’
Bob described the barbecue at Terry Black’s as ‘amazing’ and was in awe of the portion sizes and menu selections. He was also pleasantly surprised that he could pick more than one dessert.
Once locals caught a glimpse of him out and about at the Ice House, Dallas residents immediately came up to Bob, snapping selfies with the local celebrity, complimenting his content exploring American culture.
‘Everyone’s so friendly and really talkative… more talkative than I expected,’ he said. ‘They have a lot of hospitality in mind. I feel really welcome[d] from Texas people.’
