On the Road in Midwest US 在路上, 美国中部

Filed under: travel — Lu @ 11:10 am

Driving in the middle of US, there are a lot of blank billboard waiting to be purchased. “Ad Here”, a product of credit crunch.

开车在美国中部,你会看见很多空白公路广告,等待着被购买。“在这儿登广告” 的标语又是经济萧条的一个标志。

Coffee in the convenient shop by gas stations is cheap and Huge! Look at the one in my hand, it’s the smallest cup size you can get. It’s $1.09. In Beijing you can get 1/2 size coffee for 25 Yuan (about $4), because it’s a middle class/westerner consumption.

加油站便利店里的咖啡便宜而且巨大无比。看我手上的杯子是最小的一种了,1.09美元(相当于7块人民币)。在北京,大概半杯这样的咖啡就是 25元(相当于4美元),因为咖啡在中国还是中产阶级和外国人的消费品。

Some Midwest fashion. 一些美国中部的时装 (作为参照物,我身上穿的还是体积较大的羽绒服)

For $7 you can eat all you can like this, if you can bear the over-weight customers around you.

如果你可以不去在意你周围过于肥胖的顾客,那么花7美元就你可以爱吃多少吃多少。

The sky is still wide and clear.
天空仍然辽阔而干净。
