Highway systems are one of those subtle things where you're reminded that you're in another country.

The line markings, the signage vary slightly. The way on- and off-ramps are handled is a little different. That's the case in Europe. I bet there are enough people who can identify the country just by seeing the pedestrian traffic light.

I deleted mine a year ago and I've found, that I don't even need it.

If I'm buying something online, I just go to the actual website of the vendor/producer

It looks like the pelts are just an additional item one could buy.

The jackets and sleeping bags are definitely made from sheared wool. I've seen a few of their videos. They were searching for colourful sheep in Europe in order to not have to dye the wool. They use grey wool from northern Germany, black wool from Wales and brown wool from Portugal.

The "melting pot" is often used wrongly. In this case, you would agree with op.

The melting pot is not a salad of cultures, it is a cauldron that melts any ingredient and pours it into a unified mold. Rarely are cultural characteristics preserved in the USA. The predominant Us-american culture swallows them whole and everybody becomes American.
