Well, we finally arrived in America after a very lengthy and somewhat harrowing journey - but more on that later.
The first thing that strikes you about the US is how huge everything is. If you go to the toilet, there's no chance of your hips touching the sides of the cubicle like they do in Europe, no, you could hold a party in there. Although for some strange reason, so far every toilet and shower that we've seen has got a huge gap between the door and the doorjamb - you can seriously fully look on in there and check out what people are up to! Now what's the point of that?
I ordered a coffee and a muffin when I first arrived at Newark International, and seriously, you could've fed a third world country on the blinking thing. It was mammoth! And in the supermarkets, they have so much supersize stuff - huge tins of soup that would probably feed 20 people or so, huge bottles of drink, huge everything. And in the restaurants, the portions are embarrassingly huge. No wonder there's so much obesity here.
I had hoped to return to England a size or two smaller, on account of when you travel with Agnieszka, you only eat once a day - but at this rate, with everything being so fatty, so deep fried, and so big - there's no chance of that happening at all...

Wha hey!!!!! You know what my thoughts are on eating abroad - try it all, every bit, and MAKE THE MOST OF IT - i want to hear that you had pancakes with bacon with maple syrup with icecream with an egg on top xx
Don't worry, I decided not to let it bother me, and I'm trying my fair share of the local samplings...
