Hello Boston

I'm now in the centre of the snow blizzard in Boston, and it looks like Santa Land. Life here is very different from Egypt. In Egypt, whether its 3 o'clock in the afternoon or 3 o'clock in the morning, there are always people walking along the streets, and the pavements are scattered with shops, restauants and supermarkets awake 24/7. Here though its a bit less alive; there are houses everywhere and many alive centers in the city, but in between the houses and centers its almost like a void, nothing happens, there is no life. Ofcourse, since its freezing cold outside it makes sense that people prefer to cuddle up at home rather than stand outside turning into icicles, but I'm told that in general people are not very fond of walking. But we will wait and see.

Another observation I made, automation. Machines are the new civilians. This could explain why people walk less now. Everything depends on machines. I think that if you take these people and put them on an island they'd try to make a cooking bowl out of coconuts before considering eating them.

Finally, food. Portions are HUGE. There is exra of everything on everything. While soooo yummy, it is also so unnatural, I can barely taste the food itself there is so much cheese and so many spices and sauces.

My observations may change over the next 3 months, hopefully I'll become more adapt to their way of life.
