Costco: Adventures in Obesity

November 26, 2012by matteotheuglyamerican Leave a comment

This past weekend while visiting my aunt, I braved the industrially-lit aisles of Costco for the first time in my life. To be fair these aisles are more like caverns, long […]

Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!

Welcome to the newly redesigned site of The Ugly American. I am he. And I am also a firm believer in free, no-hassle blog themes. I hope you enjoy the new look, complements of the lovely people at WordPress.

I initially started this blog when I was living in Italy 3 years ago, and since coming back state-side have had varying levels of commitment to maintaining it. I mean, it's more difficult to write when you're not living in a piazza, sipping on espresso all day. Life is much less glamorous/blogable in the good ol' U.S. of A. I hope to spice things up a bit by writing about the droll life of an Ugly American, but with a self-deprecating and flippant tone that my immediately family has come to find incredibly obnoxious (and that you fine denizens of the interwebs will hopefully find vastly more amusing).

So, read. Laugh. Enjoy! And if you don't enjoy, take solace in the fact that you, unlike myself, are not an Ugly American.
