Surely you have all heard that there are many overweight people in America. This is indeed true. The reason for this is the lack of healthy food at affordable prices, as well as a lack of awareness about the harm fast food does to the body. For Americans, high-calorie processed foods, hamburgers, french fries, and nuggets are staple foods. In Russia, boiled chicken is considered healthy food, but for them, nuggets replace it. I remember once working in a park in the children's area next to a cafe, and a father and son were sitting there. The man was forcing the boy to eat french fries and nuggets, when suddenly he turned to me and said: "Young lady, please explain to my child that chicken with vegetables is incredibly healthy!" That is, he implied that french fries are a healthy vegetable that is necessary for a child's body. As soon as you arrive in the States, try the local fast food. It is definitely different from ours. Even if you take a portion of Subway, which is in a flatbread, there is a significant difference. But my advice to you is not to get carried away. As we know, there are practically no vitamins in it. Immunity drops instantly, and that's where all sorts of illnesses begin. And getting treatment here is oh so expensive. Do not skimp on food. It is better to spend a little extra and buy fruits and organic dairy products. I also highly recommend the Tasty Buffet cafe, which is located at 228 MA-28, West Yarmouth. It is a Chinese buffet that includes various types of meat, potatoes, vegetables, salads, fruits, seafood, and, of course, very delicious scoop ice cream. Admission is $13 plus $2 for a drink that you can refill as many times as you want. It is really worth it. We were really saved by the supplies of porridge, pasta, and soups we brought from home. Since there was a stove and a microwave in the place where we lived, we could easily cook something from them. You can buy a pot in local stores for about six dollars. So keep that in mind.

After our short weekend in Miami, we safely returned "home" and spent the rest of the summer on Cape Cod. To describe "The Cape" in a nutshell, it's a quiet and cozy place for American retirees. Fresh sea air, a mild summer by local standards, well-developed infrastructure, and proximity to Boston—in short, it has everything for a comfortable stay. Talking to the locals, I realized that this place is very expensive and mostly inhabited by the wealthy during the summer. I met many people who came here from Miami for the summer because it's too hot there. There are beaches on "The Cape," although they didn't seem very well-equipped to us (I'm talking about West Yarmouth). You can certainly swim and sunbathe, but there are no sun loungers. However, there are showers, restrooms, beautiful semi-wild nature, and few people. I'm sure some will like it. Hyannis itself is very cool. Lots of small shops, bars, and even clubs. On the outskirts, there is the Cape Cod Mall, where you can find almost all the famous stores. There are also a couple of Subways, KFCs, Burger Kings, and other eateries. As for food, I recommend trying Tasty Buffet—the best restaurant, which I miss even in St. Petersburg. In short, this restaurant operates on a buffet system: you pay $15 + $1.50 for a drink and can choose any dish. It's a Chinese restaurant, so everything is in a Chinese style, and there's even sushi. Overall, all the dishes are very tasty, and I didn't see any particular exoticism that was vastly different from Europe. Lots of fruit and, most pleasantly, unlimited and delicious ice cream. Overall, it's great. But let's not get off topic; after our return, we successfully worked until the end of the summer and visited one more small town during that time—Provincetown. Provincetown is a town located at the very end of the cape; if my memory serves me right, it was from there that the English began the development of the East Coast. This town is also interesting because almost all its residents are of non-traditional orientation. Many of our friends and second-year participants advised us to visit this town, and finally, we made it. You can get there either by taxi, by a direct bus for $20+, or by regular public buses with two transfers for $4. Obviously, our choice fell on the third option. We traveled for a long and tedious 3 hours, but fortunately, American buses are very comfortable and equipped with air conditioning. Upon arriving in the city, we found ourselves in the main square, which was teeming with all kinds of rainbow colors; it was very bright and contrasting. But after walking around the city for a while, we realized that we got bored of it very quickly and wanted to go home. Why we got bored, what is interesting in the city, and why you should go there at all—you can see all this in our video, which I am attaching below.

A long road... We got some sleep :) We were ready for our last stop) We found the nearest restroom again to freshen up. By the third day, dry shampoo came in handy :D And so, refreshed, we continued our journey) First, we walked around the city, visited the old part of town, and just soaked in the city's vibe) Then we headed to the place that everyone surely visits – Harvard)) It was very interesting to see it with our own eyes, go into the university store, and just see the life of an elite university. Most of the students at this university are Asian, as they are very diligent and smart! Getting in there is really very difficult. Freshmen live on campus, while upperclassmen live in apartments) We liked it there a lot, spent a long time taking a good photo in the background)) After Harvard, we enjoyed the street hustle and bustle. People were painting pictures, dancing, and singing on the street. The city is very lively and dynamic. We had coffee at Starbucks with a view of this beauty. Next, we headed to a very beautiful park (Boston Common). An amazing place! We spent a lot of time there. We fed ducks, chased squirrels, watched the lake and the people passing by. We saw a stroller with 6 children)) that was something)) Definitely, when you are in Boston, go there. In general, Boston is a very green city, very beautiful. Then we walked along the Freedom Trail. By the end, we were tired. We walked a lot. So we didn't really go anywhere else, just walked around. Boston captivated me like no other city. I felt so good, so cozy, so soulful in it. I felt like I merged with this city. For me, it was magical... Boston – you are like a stuffed toy to me, which I wanted to hug and not let go... You beckon... You seem so familiar... Thank you.... Then we ran for the bus because we were late. It was a race that I still remember to this day... We ran with all our might. First, we looked for the station itself, then the place where the bus departs. As a result, we made it. Around 2 AM we were in Hyannis. We were home around 3. We went to bed almost immediately, we had no strength left at all. The only horror for us was that we had work tomorrow. But... ta-da-da... it rained in the morning!!! We were the happiest and slept until the very evening, and then crawled out of our burrows to share our impressions with our friends. The people we worked with became real friends to us) So we returned to our work atmosphere... But what it was like for me... my job... Before I tell you about crazy Miami, I want to share a little bit of my feelings, emotions, and sensations from my home place, West Yarmouth... Soon...

Well then) Today, on a cold winter night, I will continue to share my warm memories) As I said earlier, Natasha and I set off on our journey to West Yarmouth, because that's where our job was waiting for us) When I was still in NY, I called the employer and clarified how to get from Hyannis to Yarmouth. I knew these towns were close, but I decided to double-check. The employer offered to pick us up. And so, when we arrived in Hyannis, we waited for the car. Pavlin arrived. Pavlin is our manager. He helped us with our bags and drove us to the place where we would be living. On the way, he told us what was where. The town is small, there are few shops)) They brought us to a hotel and said that we would live there for the first little while, because the place where we were supposed to live was still under construction. Accommodation cost $100 a week at the hotel. Our future permanent housing cost the same.) The hotel was very nice. It had a gym and a pool. And the rooms were just gorgeous!!! But before we went to enjoy the pool, we decided to go buy some food)) And that's when the most interesting part began. As I said, the town is small (but it's incredibly cute). And it was the beginning of June, there were no tourists, there was no one to ask for help. We left the hotel. We had 2 options on where to go: right or left) We went left. We walked for 2 hours... we were terribly tired, we almost reached the next town. We weren't walking fast. We didn't really manage to buy any food.( And then we realized we had to walk back. But we managed to meet two nice young men, they told us everything. They drove us home and took us shopping. These were our first friends there) It turns out the big store was an hour's walk away, but in the other direction)) that was something else)) At the store, we grabbed a bunch of stuff, running around like crazy))) Especially lots of fruits and berries)) And then another surprise awaited me. I approached the checkout and stood waiting. And do you know why? Because there was no cashier. And then our friends told us it was a self-checkout. You should have seen my eyes. One of the friends walked up and started scanning the products himself. Of course, a girl was walking around nearby, watching what we were doing and how. But what trust! This is paradise. My first thought was that there must be people who don't scan some products))) After scanning the products, you pay yourself and that's it. In general, it's unusual, my friends) I think you would be surprised too)) And every big store has cards. Advice: ask at the counter and get one. We were slow the first month and didn't get one. But then we came and did it, and it was FREE)) Definitely get one, very good discounts and promotions. On our first day of shopping, we spent $80. It wasn't great))) But that's the period of splurging, then everything will change)) From my first shopping trip, I remember one bad moment well. When we approached the checkout, there was a woman in front of us. I carefully placed the bananas on the side. She screamed, threw them at me, and said something like, 'Get out of here.' That kind of thing happens( But it only happened once. So we returned home, unpacked the food, and of course... took a picture of it)) And then we ate with pleasure) After that, we went to the pool and the gym) We did this almost every day for a week there) Relax) I would call this period 'relax and travel'))) Three days later, we went to an orientation meeting. We had to work in a park) The park was divided into a dry zone and a water zone. The park had many, many inflatable slides and more. In the dry children's zone, there were just all kinds of inflatable trampolines you could jump on; in the children's water zone, there were small slides that ended in water. In the adult water zone, there were huge slides. Throughout the summer, there were more and more of them)) And in general, there was everything there. Inside, there were all kinds of arcade games. At

It was already August. Two whole months had passed. That was when I decided with the girls that it was time for us to take a break) We took 3 days off in a row and started thinking about how and where we would go. Initially, we wanted to go to Washington-Springfield-Boston. But then we decided to swap Springfield for Philadelphia. One evening, sitting at Dunkin' Donuts and sipping coffee, we started making plans for our trip. After weighing all the pros and cons, we came up with a plan. The closest big city to us was Boston. Tickets from Boston to Washington were cheap. Tickets from Hyannis, which is 15 minutes away from us, were more expensive. The thing is, there is a website where tickets are really very cheap. But you can only book from a major city to a major city. Here is the site: https://us.megabus.com/ So we decided that on Sunday we would work until 5, take a taxi, and head to Boston at 6 PM. We were supposed to be there around 8 PM. In Boston, we planned to transfer around 10 PM and travel until morning to Washington, then around 11 PM, get on and go from there to Philadelphia. It's not far from Washington to Philadelphia, so according to our plan, we should have been there around 3 AM. Then at 10 PM, we were supposed to get on a bus and go to Boston. We were supposed to arrive in Boston in the morning and stay there until the evening. In the evening, take the last bus and get home. Thus, we got the following picture: 1) On Saturday evening, we get on the bus and arrive in Boston around 8:00 PM (before getting on the bus, we had to get to the city where it departs. We lived in West Yarmouth, and the bus was from Hyannis. That's 15 minutes from us) 2) At 10 PM, we get on the bus and go to Washington, arriving there around 7 AM on Sunday 3) The whole day in Washington, and at 11 PM we leave for Philadelphia, where we arrive around 3 AM, or even earlier, on Monday 4) The whole day in Philadelphia, and at 10 PM we get on the bus to Boston, where we arrive at 8 AM (around that time) on Tuesday 5) The whole day in Boston, we get on the bus around 9:00 PM and arrive home around 1 AM (Tuesday night to Wednesday). Route: West Yarmouth - Hyannis - Boston - Washington - Philadelphia - Boston - Hyannis - West Yarmouth Having decided on the route, we decided to book the tickets. Most of the tickets were bought on the site I mentioned earlier.) The tickets cost us a total of about $180. As you noticed, there were no hotel stops in our plan) That was the first thing we saved money on. We slept on the buses and that was enough for us))) You will learn more about how it was as I continue my story about the trip) After we chose the cities, we started studying what to see in them.) We wrote down the places in the order we wanted to see them. We made the list as optimally as possible (i.e., if two attractions are close by, see them together, rather than going to the other end of the city to see something else and then coming back). We wrote down the name of the place, the street it's on, the subway station, and the approximate time we planned to be there. I advise you to do the same. It will save you time. Write down every little detail. It's clear that there will be some mishaps, but by planning, you will reduce their number) And so, having written down everything to the smallest detail, we started getting ready for our trip)) We packed all the essentials) We took a change of clothes that we planned to walk around in, dry shampoo, cosmetics, money, passport, tickets, and personal hygiene items. And we dressed warmly for the road because, as I said earlier, it's cold on the buses( The day finally came. It was August 8th, Saturday. We went to work and waited with excitement for 5 PM, when we could run to get our things and head out on our trip:)
