To what extent is Slovakia influenced by the American way of life
An American travelling in Europe nowadays, could easily get the impression that he or she never left home. After checking into the Holiday Inn and grabbing a quick lunch at the nearby Burger King, the traveller sets out to discover the local culture. But what most Americans see around them is not local at all. Shops sell Nikes and Levi´s, adolescents are wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the Chicago Bulls logo or with the American flag, crowds line up to see the latest Hollywood movies.
So this is how most of the world looks like nowadays and Slovakia is not an exception. Even in our small country the Americanization appears in a very great extent.

But on the other hand not everything is so outstanding which comes from America. We´ve already taken over many holiday customs and traditions. The Valentine´s Day was an unknown holiday here few years ago, now it is wide spread. Every year people buy flowers and send postcards although they don´t even know anything about the origin of this holiday and that who was Valentine. The same thing is happening gradually with the Halloween however it´s not as popular as Valentine.
