First impressions!

I landed on one of the most developed countries in this world last weekend as an "alien with a valid immigrant paper". I stepped foot on 2 international destinations en-route to the DFW airport at Dallas,TX.

As any new experience would have it.........here are my first impressions of this land.

• Highly process oriented..........there's a lot of process and order to everything around.
• Almost everyone here seems to own a car.........the number on the road probably exceed the 2 wheelers back home.........therefore you hardly see anyone on the road.
  
• People's notion of "vegetarian" food is wrong. Fish, chicken etc are considered vegetarian.
  
• Public transport is practically nil. Whatever little exists is excellent in terms of service but lacks network to drive people towards using it.
  
• Every area that has a few high rises is referred to as downtown.
• Everything is huge.......each onion is of the size of a coconut, coffee mugs are the size of a pet bottle, juice cans come in gallon portions.
• When you sit in car.....u seem confused coz of the reversal of directions.
• Lack of poverty and undernourishment has it's share of problems.......As I sit in the plaza area and watch people around me I observed that a large share of people are obese. The situation looks scary.

till I add to the list............Bye.
