Compared with these fat people, the size of the Chinese is far from the level of worry, if we see a person on the street whose waist is larger than the trousers, horizontal and vertical side width, must have a few more looks, right? But in the United States, you can see this kind of person everywhere on the street, in bars, and in parks, and it is nothing more exaggerated than this. So, eat when you should eat, don't be bitter about yourself, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, I finally like to eat meat and endure it, and when you close your eyes when you die, don't you regret it?

In addition to fat people, there are also street performers who make a living in various ways. These people cannot be called homeless, because they have craftsmanship and are very clean. It's hard to imagine that at the airports in Dallas and Seattle, there will be people who make tips for shining shoes, in the downtown areas of Miami there will be people who make flowers out of leaves, and in New York's Fifth Avenue there will be people who are performing tricks on the streets.

What makes Hong Tao feel more comfortable is that these people don't have the city management to chase after them like dogs and rabbits, so they are all cleaned up neatly, and they don't affect the cityscape at all, but make people feel that this street and the city are very human.

Speaking of the city's appearance, is there a "psoriasis" problem that has plagued many cities in China in the United States? To be honest, there are, but not much. Urban psoriasis here in the United States is not a small advertisement, because whoever dares to post a small advertisement will soon be approached by the police, and the money has not been earned, and the fine comes first, and it is not worth it, so no one posts it. The main problem here is urban graffiti, the people who carry a bottle of spray paint in their pockets wherever they go.

However, this is not the case in every city, not in the whole city, but in individual regions. For example, in the subway stations in New York, especially those that pass through the black neighborhood, from the door to the railroad tracks, you can see the artistic inspiration of those black brothers everywhere. Then there is a lot of graffiti in black neighborhoods, which is mainly related to local income and security.

The U.S. government is also trying to guide these people who like to be inspired, and they have set up special graffiti zones on campuses, in neighborhoods, and in neighborhoods. Some are a wall, some are an abandoned car, some are a big stone or statue, and the function is similar anyway, that is, people with too many artistic cells can have a place to vent.

In addition, about the farmers in the United States, Hong Tao drove through the United States, and the most he saw were the farmers who drove tractors in front of your car slowly, and the cowboys who rode tall horses and stood on the side of the road watching the cars on the road. They all have one thing in common, that is, they are very slow, very calm, very leisurely, and I guess they may be pondering. Where is this Chinese kid going with an American girl? Why not go on horseback?

As a farmer, if you were born in the United States, it is heaven, and if you were born in China, it is below the horizon. Hong Tao thinks that China can catch up with the United States economically, which is very likely; You can also catch up with the United States in science and technology, which is a little troublesome, because now the Chinese people are focused on making money. No one wants to do research in a down-to-earth manner, so it will take a while to catch up; It is very difficult to catch up with the United States militarily, because if science and technology cannot catch up, the military will not be able to catch up. It's a logical question; As for agriculture, it is very likely that China will never be able to catch up with the United States without earth-shaking changes in agriculture. It's that the gap is too big.

The average farmer in the United States has 1,000 acres of land, while the average Chinese farmer has less than 1,000 acres of land, even if your family has 20 people. It's only 20 acres of land, but how many families of 20 people are there? Hong Tao was once rescued by a farmer's tractor because of a flat car tire in Texas, so he stopped by his house for lunch. The family, who owned 1,200 acres of land and grew sorghum and corn, hired two Mexican immigrants as workers to help.

Their family only grows one season a year, and the planting area will never exceed 500 acres of land, when Hong Tao goes to their house, the left is the harvested corn field, but the right is bare and nothing. Hong Tao asked the old man why this was, and the old man replied that the land could not be planted with crops every year, and that the land needed rest just like people, so they only planted about a third of the land every year and let the rest of the land take a vacation.

Listen, how infuriating this is! The land of the United States is on annual leave! What's even more infuriating is that American farmers receive a large amount of agricultural subsidies from the state and federal governments every year, about $20,000, and the elderly couple only earn a total of $50,000 a year, 40% of which comes from government subsidies. But in China, not only do you not want to rest, but also have to work overtime, chemical fertilizers and pesticides are slammed, in fact, it is not the farmer brothers who want to use chemical fertilizers, chemical fertilizers are not for nothing, they are bought with money. But without chemical fertilizer, your land really doesn't grow crops, the land is already barren, and you can only rely on chemical fertilizers to urge, which is a vicious circle.

In addition, mechanization in rural America has been developed for decades, and the average family has its own harvester, seeder, tractor and other large agricultural machinery, or several neighboring farmers pool their money to buy and use together, anyway, 3 or 5 people can serve thousands of acres of land, which is extremely efficient. In addition, farmers also have trade unions, and those agricultural product buyers cannot manipulate prices, so they cannot cheat farmers. However, in recent years, there have been phenomena everywhere in the country of planting and falling prices, and harvesting and harvesting of worthless phenomena, and those interest groups have reached out to the peasants after they have finished pit the stockholders, which is simply digging up the roots of the country.

Finally, there is a fun thing, it is called "Greyhound Bus", the only long-distance passenger transport company in the United States, and the logo of this company is a running hound, which is very similar to the logo of a Jaguar car. Hong Tao has encountered many tall buses with this kind of black glass on the highway, at first he was still lamenting that the Yankees are really rich, and he used the Jaguar as a long-distance car, but later he was overheard by Erin, and told him with a smile that it was not a leopard, it was a dog!

These buses are almost everywhere in the cities and countryside of the United States, and they can go where trains and planes can't go. And they have a very tourist-friendly rule, these buses have not only a one-way ticket when buying tickets, but also a cashier's ticket based on the number of days. What is a promissory note? It is to give you a stack of tickets, and the ticket only has the destination you want to go to and the time and name of the ticket, such as 3 days, 7 days, 15 days, etc.

When you get on the bus, tear a ticket to the driver, and then you can see the scenery, feel that it is fun, you can get off the bus at any time to have fun, and when the next Greyhound bus comes, you get on the bus again, tear a ticket to the driver, and then continue to your destination.

For example, Hong Tao and Erin go to Seattle from New York, well, according to the itinerary of the Greyhound bus, it will take more than 3 days to arrive, if Hong Tao and Erin want to stop in various states along the way, then go and buy a 15-day bus ticket. With this ticket, Hong Tao and Erin can get off the bus at will on the way, as long as they arrive in Seattle within 15 days, this ticket can be used unlimited times, if the ticket in your hand is used up, you can also go to the Greyhound bus stop in any city to continue to get it for free.

The price of this kind of bus is much cheaper than that of planes and trains, Hong Tao once bought a set of 3-day promissory tickets in order to experience it, from Seattle to 200 kilometers away from Amaqui, the ticket price is only a little more than 75 US dollars, and you can play all the places along the 200 kilometers in these three days, of course, Hong Tao only got off the bus once, that is, only tore up a ticket, and the rest were wasted.

This Greyhound bus is very tall, larger than the domestic sleeper long-distance bus, with a total of 4 rows of seats, a passage in the middle, and a toilet at the back of the car. These seats have a large distance between the front and back, and the angle of the backrest can be adjusted, either sitting or semi-reclining, of course, lying fully down. The windows on the car are large and black, and it is basically difficult to see the inside from the outside, but there is no impact at all when you look at the outside from the inside, similar to one-way glass.

Most of the people who ride this bus are ordinary people and poor backpackers, and in some areas there are more blacks and Mexicans, which is a little messy, but safety is not an issue. There is only one driver in the car, who is not only the driver, but also the police officer and acts as part of the tour guide. These drivers are very professional, they change shifts every 4 hours, and they can't drive for half an hour more, because this is a requirement of the trade union, and if the company dares to violate it, it will wait to go to court and receive a huge fine. Therefore, they will definitely not drive tired, and the road conditions are very good, even if the speed is fast, there is no need to worry about driving safety.

After driving about 200 kilometers, the car will stop and rest for 15 minutes, at which point everyone can get on and off the bus at will, go around, and come back before driving. When it is time to eat, the driver will drive the car into a special rest area, which usually stops for about 40 minutes. There are cookie-cutter fast food restaurants here, you don't have to worry about the driver taking you to those black restaurants to cheat you out of money, whether you like to eat or not, these fast food restaurants are all chained, the size, decoration, and even the table and chair placement are exactly the same, the only difference is the waiter.

Hong Tao and Erin also eat a lot in these fast food restaurants, sometimes you will have an illusion, because yesterday you sat in this position, and now this position is the same as yesterday, the window is still the highway, but the people in the restaurant are different, as if you really crossed.

All of the above are fun, and there are some that are not fun, such as gas stations. In addition to the big gas stations around the city, many gas stations in the United States do not have service personnel, and even if there is one, he doesn't care if you refuel, he only collects money, so you have to refuel yourself. Hong Tao made a joke when he first played the fuel tank, he wanted to fill up the fuel tank, but forgot that the unit here is gallons, and the gasoline came out of the fuel tank directly, and Hong Tao paid nearly 4 times the fuel fee, and people only charged according to the number on the fuel tank.
