The USA; reflections on my recent trip

Having returned to the UK and adjusted to the time zone change I've been reflecting on what I found there.

I was amazed by the the lack of a world view on the TV programmes; you would never know that a world outside of the USA existed. As to the TV programmes, it was impossible to watch them, adverts every 4 minutes or so killed the flow of any dramatic script.

I realised that whilst I was there, I never saw a supermarket except the ubiquitous 7-11. If you wanted to buy groceries where would you go? I'm sure there must have been a Wal-Mart or similar around but I just did not see them in spite of travelling around in a car quite a bit. Perhaps we should be more thankful for Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda and the rest.

Without NFL and Baseball I have no idea how the TV schedules would be filled, they would need to import some documentaries from elsewhere in the world.

New Hampshire and Massachusetts were lovely places to visit and I can imagine there is much more to see than I managed in the short time I was there.

I was still glad to get home though.
