So I visited the USA for the first time yesturday, and well it didn't disappoint, that is, every stereotype associated with this bunch of fatties is true.
1) Just getting into the country required a lot of time, and ridiculous formalities. Queuing for AGES and made to fill in a form in which I promised I was not a terrorist, a Nazi sympathizer, or a murderer. Was told in no uncertain terms that I wasn't allowed to move from a certain spot whilst a police officer got a green card for me. When she is carrying a gun, you tend to do what they say, and reply with yes or no to keep things simple for them. Taken into a large room to be finger printed and mug shotted, whilst having the car keys taken off you just in case you decided to jump border. Then have to pay $6 for some reason...maybe to pay for the 100s of security cameras that greet you when you are at the border crossing. It seems they are a very anti social country...
2) Literally two minutes after crossing the border there was a Macdonalds, and well when standing in the car park of Target, you could actually SMELL the grease and fat in the air coming from the shopping centre. Going through the door, I was naturally greeted by a ridiculously fat person whose fat was mainly hanging off a bench, maybe the 3m walk from the fast food joints to the door was tooo much.
3) Using an ATM was a bit awkward. In Britain and I am sure every other country in the world, they assume we are able to remember to take our credit cards out of the machine. Not in Obamaland, where before any transaction of any sort, even before you enter your pin code, you have to remove your card from the machine, so that you don't forget it later on.
4) Everyone is ridiculously friendly to the point I could suspect them of being peadophiles....
5) When trying to get lunch, I was warned that all I would be able to get was fast food. Indeed it was true. An entire mall filled with fast food joints, and the 'fresh' italien food....welll yeah fresh many days ago! I ate at a place called Taco Bell for the first time, and nothing could be tasted through the fat, and that was considered the healthiest thing there! It gave me a headache :-(
6) That being said, where I was in New York and Vermont was very pretty... however I get the assumption we were lied to at Ausable Chasm. We visted this nature park place, and the route was apparently two miles. My ass it was two miles, maybe a mile, if that... I guess they lie to these fat Americans to make them feel good about themselves.
