When I first arrived, we lived in Ringgold, who is away from Downtown

I have to admit that I'm coming in hellebore was kind of a shock. As I wrote in the first part of this saga balkanmeričke, I thought hopefully has to know everything, but I have to admit something to you: "acquaintance" of America over the internet, news, video clips, etc., and really getting to know America ... hmmm, it's like watching porn and sex. Until you take a step into the adult world, worthless all theories of porn.
Chattanooga is located on the border between the Tennessee and Džordžije. The town itself (downtown) is in Tennessee, but Chattanooga has six "districts" (counties) of which three are in Tennessee and three in Džordžiji. Located at an altitude of some 200 meters, while Belgrade at about 120 meters above sea level. The climate is different than in Belgrade near the Mostar-warm / hot summers and relatively warm winters without snow mostly. Here, in these two winters as I have so far lived here, maybe it all together was 7-8 days when the temperature was below zero Celsius.
A little comparison of Chattanooga and Belgrade and the Balkans in general and the American-European type of housing in Chattanooga has about 420 people per square kilometer, desi village king of prussia while in Belgrade has nearly 3,500 per square mile. It has given them their fight to have the Lincoln Marshal.
It is probably clear to everyone why this is so. As I already wrote, America is composed predominantly of suburbia. desi village king of prussia Very few people live in the so-called Downtown. For example, Atlanta officially has about 400,000 inhabitants, desi village king of prussia if only in terms of downtown wider region, which is less than one in Sarajevo, but the surface of what we call "Atlanta" is equal to half brother to brother Serbia, and perhaps more. That's what I already wrote HERE. I live in the "first suburb" of the town, which means that I have to dowtown about 7-10 minutes by car, some 10 km.
When I first arrived, we lived in Ringgold, who is away from Downtown's a little desi village king of prussia more than 20 km. While this life, away from the center desi village king of prussia of events, a reception, me as someone who is accustomed to all the positive and negative aspects of the big city crowds, just did not fit. However, those first few months were a test phase when I "discovered America" and can not be wrong soul that was boring. For example, in the United States are all more important things in everyday life are out DOWNTOWN (with the exception of the so-called cultural offer of the city). So let's say in downtown Chattanooga, which is as big as two Mostar around, but no two petrol pumps. There is not one big supermarket or Walmart. There are no shopping malls. All are mostly desi village king of prussia office buildings with bars or other business premises on the ground floor. I think that if Chattanooga has 170,000 people, that in the center of such an area, perhaps 20 to 30,000 lives, not more.
Like any "real" American, I immediately malls and shopping :) As far as shopping malls, no American crowd malls, as is popularly thought, but they have huge. Chattanooga say there are two shopping desi village king of prussia malls, one might "only" twice the size of Mercator, and the other is without desi village king of prussia exaggeration - the size of Terazije to Slavia. To note, this is not a shopping mall in our sense. This, Hamilton Place Mall (images) may (again comparing works) as large as two to three Mercator inside. Parking around the entire mall is huge, for a couple of thousand cars, I do not know exactly. I Izguglao the mall area about 108 thousand square meters and has about 150 boutiques desi village king of prussia and restaurants. What makes him monstrous, individual actions (Belk, Sears, JC Penney, Dillard's and Forever21) that occupy half the mall (see HERE). No wonder older people, which the doctor has prescribed more developments coming desi village king of prussia winter to the mall just to walk around, but literally! In winter, you can meet a blanket and Grandmama in tracksuits, with sweat on their heads, to "jog" in the midst of the shopping center, especially in the morning desi village king of prussia when there are not many people.
But that's not all, what would you say Smiljko Šagolj. In the range of 3-5 kilometers are other oooogromne stores desi village king of prussia with their parking lots, outlets, cinepleks and other things. In fact, the whole area is one big shopping mall, with a rugged pair of streets and parking lots.
I like sometimes to odpepam to Hamilton in the morning around 9 when just opened. The reason is simple-have desi village king of prussia a Barnes and noob be big bookstore as part of the Starbucks. Something like our bookstore Plato but much larger. It all relaxed, without blame, take magazines or books / comics, order a cup of coffee, sit down and read. When you read, go back on the shelf and go :). Sometimes I bring a laptop and there and do the job, you do not have a lot of work. Then take some comics and enjoy a coffee with.
Why is America megazajebana country?
