Number 1:
Muscle beach
It’s
located in Santa Monica, California, just at the end of the front walk of
Venice Beach (see the Los Angeles post below). It’s like a big open-air fitness
club with many free access facilities on the beach and a smaller area fenced by
barriers with professional facilities managed by one of the biggest fitness
club of Los Angeles. Arnold Schwarzenegger is a regular there, but I didn’t
have the chance to see him while training when I went there. The incredible
thing there is that people lift relay heavy charges under a blazing sun, which
makes the workout even more harder! The advantage of such training is that you work
out while refining your tan, which is also very important for the bodybuilders
who frequent this place.
Number 2:
Cars
We all know
that apart from having a steering wheel and four wheels, traditional American cars
don’t have much in common with the cars we can found in Europe. They didn’t
really have the same notion of ecology and low fuel consumption (mostly because
of the low prices of fuel), that’s why I met a lot of big block V8 engine cars
there; engines that aren’t specially known for being eco-friendly. There is
also an other big difference that I noticed: Unlike in France, when you have succeeded
in business and you earned a lot of money in the US, you want to show it and
the easiest way to do it is to buy a car and to customize it, like you can see
on the pic.
Number 3:
Roads
As you
probably know, the Unites States of America are a huge country, and the
distance from a city to another are sometimes very impressive. For example when
you across the desert to go from Los Angeles in California to the Great Canyon
in Arizona, you will find roads which
goes for kilometres straight away, so far that you cannot see the end of the
road!
Hi Nico,
RépondreSupprimerYour top 3 shows well the differences of mentalities between the USA and Europe. I think that all must be bigger in the States, not only food but also their activities. And as you said, some Americans love to show their success, success which concerns not only money but also the appearence. In France this would be considered as an inappropriate behaviour. Thank to you I discovered a nex typ of beach !

Hi mate!
RépondreSupprimerBy reading your article I realize that cities such as LA are a whole other world! Looks like life is like a Hollywood movie there! I enjoyed the way you presented your article, and everything was understandable, and I think you did a great job!
However I wouldn't be funny without a little #correction!
First paragraph, you write "which makes the workout even more harder", but I think that "even harder" is enough, as "harder" is already a comparative.
Keep it up though!
