GOD BLESS AMERICA.
After spending 24 hours on flights and airports, MissFriFri has officially arrived to the land of Victoria's Secret and Sex and the City- I am officially on US soil, gang!
While Alex has been at work today I've explored the surroundings- aka the shopping centres. I just bought a pair of Nine West ballerina shoes for seven dollars! God bless America!
I've also explored the American food culture- aka fast food. Although I think that I'm good in the fastfood department (my mum often asks herself what she did wrong...) this was just too much. WAAAYY too much. After receiving some kind of Italian fast food with meatballs the size of my head that didn't taste of meat, spaghetti for three (very hungry) people in one plate, 3 massive garlic bread things and a "small" coke that was the size of my upper body I decided to go for a fruit cup instead. Can't even handle it! The US has officially put me off food. (It probably had something to do with the fact that we got burgers for breakfast at the hotel. Not that these tasted of meat either... I wonder what they actually put in their meats? Although I really don't think I want to know...!)
Another thing I've got confirmed is that this is not a very pedestrian- friendly country. Although I walked for at least 1 hr yesterday to different stores and shopping centres, I never saw one other person who was walking or biking. Which is understandable, because if you wanna cross here- even when there's a green man- you have to RUN. If you run, you make it half way through the street before it turns red again. (I don't mean a light jog. I mean a proper run.) Plus, it seems that just because you have a green man that doesn't mean that the cars necessarily stop. It's more like, "this seems like a good time- good luck to ya! *Conditions apply. Pedestrians cross at their own risk.*"
Some pictures are coming soon.
