No country for fat people. No es país para gordos

New York, United States


Something you can easily discover after a couple of days in NY is that it is a city that almost force you to eat. It doesn´t matter what time you feel hungry, restaurants are always open and ready to serve you food. Furthermore, even if you are not hungry at all, there are lots of street stalls full of different kinds of food that with its odour will confuse your brain so you will think that you want to eat. Yesterday we tried a different place, somewhere to forget all the pizzas, sandwiches, cakes and all kind of unhealthy stuff we have been eaten lately. That is, we have gone to a healthy food restaurant. Apart from all the healthy food, there was healthy eccentric people. Now I want all my readers to form a mental image of a restaurant in la Mancha: There is a big window, and next to that window there is a woman alone crocheting. I want you to think about the age of the woman, the physical appareance, is she from a big city like Albacete or from a small one like Fuente el Fresno? Ok, do you have your answers? Then you can look at the picture and notice the differences between being from la Mancha and from New York.

Algo que se aprecia a los pocos días de estar en NY es que es una ciudad que te obliga a comer. Da igual si tienes hambre o no, todos los restaurantes y demás garitos están siempre abiertos y preparados para servirte. Incluso si no tienes hambre, los deliciosos olores que se extienden por las calles provenientes de los más divesos puestecillos de comida harán creer a tu cerebro que estás hambriento. Ayer probamos un sitio distinto donde poder olvidar las pizzas, hamburguesas , dulces y demás comida grasienta de los últimos días. Así que fuimos a un restaurante de comida saludable. Aparte de toda la comida sana, también había gente muy curiosa, lo que vienen siendo ¡personajes!. Antes de ver la imagen quiero pedirle a los lectores que participen en un ejercicio de visualización. Entramos en un restaurante manchego, al fondo hay una mujer sola al lado de una ventana haciendo ganchillo. Quiero que imaginemos la edad de la mujer, su apariencia física, si pensamos que es de Albacete o de un sitio más pequeño como Fuente el Fresno etc. ¿Teneis la respuesta? Entonces ya estais preparados para mirar la imagen y sentir la diferencia entre ser manchego y neoyorkino.
