Hi Shingo, congratulations on creating your first blog in English! You overcame a lot of challenges to create this blog. Thanks for being so patient! The U.S. has a lot of land, so Americans build big. I think restaurants give people too much food, however. So much food makes Americans fat! Nina
Hello, Shingo! This is Hiromi, and I participated the program last year. It's nice to meet you! ^^
I agree with the first impression about the food in America! Please try to walk a lot on the activities after the class so that you won't gain weight too much! Hahaha~. ^^
Hi Shingo, It is interesting how one notices these differences when one travels. I agree, American restaurants usually serve too much food. That is why I usually see the Entrées or appetizers to settle for something smaller ... and cheaper. Otherwise, I would tend to overeat and gain weight. All the best in your stay, Berta, A Venezuelan colleague and friend of Nina´s
Welcome to the U.S. and congratulations on your blog! I look forward to reading more of your thoughts and impressions!
Yes, lots of things are big here--particularly, the servings of food in restaurants. I agree with Nina, Hiromi, and Berta about the servings of food. When I go out to eat, it's always difficult to find something that is just enough and not too much! Berta has a good idea: choosing only entrées or appetizers. Sometimes it's possible for two people to share a complete meal, but even then the servings might be too large!
I'm glad you tried Mexican food. There are many international restaurants near where you are, and I hope you try something else that's new and different--like Greek food or Arabic food or Ethiopian food!
Best wishes--
Dennis in Phoenix (an online colleague of Nina-sensei's)

Even many Americans think that the food at Chipotle is too big (but they wind up eating it anyway)!
