Uncle Sam!!

Uncle Sam is calling!!
Well the call for me was on hold for a long time. Now here i am in Flint, Michigan. It is a small town but still looks big. everything in the US is big, big people, big cars,big road, big food, big big big. There is nothing small ;-). Well that is the first impression you get BIG. There is a beautiful system in place and people follow it. you just cant deviate from the line. you do that and you are in soup, at least on the road you can make that out easily. but there is a lot of silence in office as well at hotel. not much of noise. it is so irritating, so i keep the TV on all the time. Food is always junk in true sense, you can eat a lot of junk food and if you are a non vegetarian you wont die of hunger. it is strange to see how people live on that kind of food. well i am now :-D. life in US revolves around the cars. they dont do anything without a car. well the place where i live there is no footpath. the first time i walked here i felt so alienated. it was so damn weird. yew i wished i never got out on my foot. these guys have a drive through for everything food till ATM. their motto is simple, when there is a simple way to do why do it the other way!!but summer they enjoy like. mainly it because it is a short time when they get to see the sun. so they are all over the road in their vehicles. they go on long trails and drive around the country. harleys are all over and every time they pass though i feel sad for not being on them. we had been to this place Frankenmuth about 30min drive from Flint. it is a small town Bavarian, Germany based town. Well some Germans in 19th century came here and settled down, and the entire town now is like a German Bavarian town. The architecture and planing is all German. there isn't much to see here apart from the buildings and a museum. you can indulge in lots of food out here. there are farm fest also going here. they just open the farm to public and you can see the farm animals and what a farmer is doing. one thing here the horse, you should have seen the size of the horse, fuk it was like the horse was directly out from a Hollywood dark age movie. it was mind blowing. forget the horse even the pig, it was big as a baby elephant. imagine that. see i told you every thing is big. while we were in Frankenmuth there was band of harleys, 20 of them minimum and the kind of roar they created when the passed through the city was amazing. the beats are simply awesome. waaaa i want one of those machines. Later we went to Birch Run a huge shopping mall where you get all the brands factory outlets and there is always a good going on here. so that's pretty much of the first things in the US, now off to Detroit.
