Then again, I came from the Philippines, where the people are really short but basketball is the no. 1 sport. | ||

i didn't know you moved outta nyc. i recently started biking here too -- it's actually pretty feasible (esp with all the new bike lanes, thx citi bikes) albeit almost certainly more dangerous than biking in the netherlands. also, why are you biking on the sidewalk?! or is that actually a bike path? | ||

Seriously, you guys seem to have affordable, delicious looking fast food in generous portions all over the place, at least that's what it looks like to me. Do you realise difficult it is to get decent donuts in Germany? Or almost anywhere else in Europe for that matter? And Burgers... fucking hell, it's impossible to get nearly satisfied eating burgers without paying through your ass. I weigh 66 kilos and getting me content at McDonald's would take 20 €, 15 € at Pizza Hut and 14 € at Subway. To think there are dedicated donut shops in the US makes me want to live there _so_ badly. | ||

Man better cook your own burgers, the meat is very cheap if you buy it in a big portion, also imo it's better if you cook it yourself. If where I live we would have cheap good fastfood I would get lazy and fat in an instant. | ||

It's a buyer's market (I think Im using that phrase right vis-a-vis (this one too?) the seller and buyer relationship). ANYWAY. There is a hiiiiiigh demand (especially in states where marijuana is quasi legal) for that type of food so there are all sorts of delicious foods out there being sold at cheap prices ... like everywhere...but especially big cities like new york and los angeles. I live in Los Angeles-ish area and ... well yeah, it's easy to find the best ___ for low prices here. USA is the melting pot of the world! | ||

It's more concentrated in the larger, more cosmopolitan cities. Some relatives of mine moved to the Dallas area and they said the variety isn't as good. I live in the Los Angeles-ish area as well. There are a crazy amount of ethnic restaurants with cheap, authentic food. We barely have any of the westernized Chinese food in my area. Instead, we have Szechuan, Hunan, HK Cafes, Shanghainese, Taiwanese, Guilin, Xinjiang, Chinese Islamic, Mongolian and all sorts of other regional specialties. A meal costs around $10-15. There are plenty of Korean restaurants that specialize in everything from fermented tofu, pork bone stew and black goat stew. | ||

Great read man, I'm glad you like it here. I hope you will hop over the border some time aswell. ; ) | ||
