Hey, Carolyn :) I am hoping you are having a blast in America :)

Just wanted to say that this blog post of yours reminded me of this great movie - Super Size Me - where the opening sentence goes like this:

'Everything is bigger in America - we've got the biggest cars, the biggest houses, the biggest companies (Walmart pic in the background), the biggest food and finally... the biggest people.'

And there's this french lady on the movie astonished by the fact that the smallest size of pop in McD is the biggest size in France.... (and in all Europe).

Anyway, apparently the size does matter in the US. If I had only one adjective to depict America with, that would definitely be 'BIG' (even 'enormous'). And it all began when I first got in the US landing at JFK airport in NYC... which was sooo huuuuuuuuuuge to me. So size and America has been an interesting issue to me ever since :)
