A few years ago I worked for a large int’l corporation and worked with Americans, Canadians, British, French and Germans. Some I liked, some I could hardly stand, but it had nothing to do with their nationality.

what do you think of these American tradition:

around this week, seniors in High school play a nice little game. Called senior tag. What you do is run around naked with water guns trying to squirt another person - tagging them. Last one standing wins.

And then

by the end of the year, senior prank. Oh I love this one. Seniors in H.School prank the counselors and school custodians, principals. 1 example is last year, each senior set their cell phone alarms to go off at the exact time, and put them in their lockers. Then for 5 minutes alarms were off everywhere

You live in Cape Town too?

I don't think Americans are that different to other nations but what I really would like to know is:
What do Americans think about my greatest heroes from America:
Michael Moore and of course Bill Bryson?

It may be hoped that at some time in the future all humans will no longer feel the need to bear arms but until such a time may arrive it is a democratic right that all adult persons should feel they have the means at hand to protect themselves from those who would wish to do them harm.

To be honest I could come up with a lot of negatives but 1 positive would be that they seem to have a "can do" culture. They are more likely to think something new or difficult is possible than the English for example.
