I went to Wisconsin after two years of praise from David, so it was pretty clear I was going somewhere a little disillusioned. What was supposed to be a kind of garden of paradise - wonderful scenery, girls nude, food falling directly from the trees - has been a bit more complex, and happily. Basically there are 3 modes of life in Wisconsin .

First you can live a Madison. It is an old university town (founded 1850) of average size. Surprisingly one of the spearheads of all civic movements (blacks, women, homosexuals, etc.). It's such students Madison that take The Onion newspaper false information is totally misplaced, unique example of American humor than the first degree, and apparently free every week in all major U.S. cities. I've also seen a bookstore that specializes in feminism, not like what I said bullshit. The atmosphere is released, artistic, a bit alternative. I do not find too many French equivalent, so I'd say it's Freiburg Baden-Württemberg . What you going well.

Second possibility, living in the big industrial city (Which would then Stuttgart): Milwaukee. Milwaukee has the distinction of having exceptional American elected 3 Socialist mayors (whether it was a city of heavy industry). She legitimately undergoes a difficult economic crisis, it is fairly soft (the crime remains very strong). The city is very multi-cultural (founded by the French, as the entire region, then inhabited by Germans, it also has large communities of African-Americans (one in the state), Polish, Irish and Italian. The summer, each community organizes its feasts, and it does not stop drinking beer. Similarly, Milwaukee hosts the annual SummerFest , proudly billed as the largest festival in the world (which is not a quarter the size of the Sziget , but it is not to push the Charlot). Bon festival-child family limit, which presents American music, then sterilized and standardized (SPIL is not that contradict me). Back in France, I would put excerpts here. This is especially true in the region, mainly listening to country music, but nice kind that never revolutionized anything whatsoever.

Finally, if we refuse these two cities, you may live elsewhere (as has Beloit -pronounce 'Beloillte'-, or David's parents live) and have a good overview of the Deep America. The scenery is really beautiful: it was here the cultivation of land (the state is the largest producer of cheese, and everything you get with a cow-most of the fast food chains start in this corner, the meat is so cheap. Grosse production but also). Flags , watered nice patriotism, grow everywhere, like weeds. We are dealing here have big guys, full of testosterone, specialists in threading beer (a $ 5 pitcher of 2 Liter ...) in bars dirty and smoky, while listening to country music. When they do not hunt (everyone has a gun), with basically the same ingredients, plus orange clothes, because after 2 liters of beer a human is easily confused with a deer. By removing my bad sarcasm can be especially noted that the hospitality here is not an empty word. It has values that remain. and make this land a true host, at least for people passing through.
