Well.. I had a lot of fun. I've seen a lot of great sights and met a lot of great people. Nevertheless.. I think I'd go insane if I lived there on a permanent basis. Keep in mind though that I mostly saw Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. And don't get me wrong, there are a lot of good things in the US that we don't have over here. The obesity was less bad than I expected. It was bad, but I was prepared for it. What I wasn't prepared for was the obsession with health in supermarkets. Every product seems to be free of fat and full of vitamins, antioxidants and the new magic word 'protein'. It took me two weeks to find chocolate milk that wasn't fat free. When you couple this with the paradox that a lot of people are clearly not in good health it becomes very confusing.
And there was more that confused me. CNN, and to be fair most news networks, were almost ridiculous in their reporting of the James Holmes case. But then you also have a guy like the dad of Alex Teves, who comes with the most touching and intelligent plea to change social behaviour so that murderers do not get all the fame.
Most of all though it's a big, big country. And the differences between states and the people from them were bigger than I had imagined.
thats it, no way monolithic
