Eerily familiar

We arrived in LA at 5 PM local time and you immediately felt in you were in the US. I had this feeling in the back of my mind that we would have some difficulty getting in but we didn't. I'd thought of what to say so not to hesitate when asked of our business - "Yes, leisure. We are visiting friends and relatives by car and we are going all the way to New York". The answer was most often - "Really, that's a long ride you know". Yes we know.

There is something strangely familiar with everything. I suppose it's the accumulated knowledge of America by watching TV for 20 years that's coming back to haunt you.

Things we noted: There are a lot of medication ads on TV / Portions are big here.

  1. "portions are big here" - you dont need to empty the plate every time !! toisaalta: hyvä ruoka-parempi mieli, muistakaa syödä kunnolla! Maija
