USA — 15, Kohl's and clothes

I'll write a bit about the Kohl's clothing store.

Kohl's is - understandably - a chain, but of Wisconsin origin, even though it has already become the 23rd largest in the US. Although the chain started by selling groceries, now it has all sorts of household stuff: clothes, small appliances, and things for the home and family. My sister doesn't like shopping, so Karina, who feels the exact opposite about it, was there instead of her. A huge thanks to Karina for everything - the rides there and back, the advice, and the patience.

The name Kohl's is read as Kohls, with a certain inflection. My sister was even surprised that I pronounced it right away and didn't read the letter h, and I was surprised how one could possibly pronounce it in this word. Then again, I studied French once, and there the letter h is sometimes unpronounced, so maybe it's only obvious to me.

Про музыку

Хм, System Of A Down пока не собираются воссоединяться. И с Guano Apes так же было.

Может, оно и к лучшему, что обе этих группы ушли на пике с отличнейшими альбомами. А то ведь за вершиной всегда следует лишь спуск.

Йогурт

Сегодня ничего писать не буду, потому что подно ушёл с работы и ещё у меня болит зуб.

Зато я сделал домашний йогурт. Рецепт такой: берёшь магазинный молочный йогурт без добавок с живыми бактериями, кладёшь в кастрюлю с тёплым молоком и ставишь в тёплое место на 6-8-10 часов (в зависимости от температуры).

USA — 14, Housing

I got a bit burned out writing these notes, which my sister warned me about — she always gets stuck halfway through herself. Well, I do have some stubbornness in me, so one way or another, I'll keep going. For a change of pace — a post with no pictures.

After Medieval Times we went back to Madison, where we were staying at Lena's. Since she's craving my impressions, she'll have to sacrifice some privacy. If anyone is unaware, privacy is a person's private life, a very important thing in the US and even more so in Europe. In the sense that the state and other people should know as little about you as possible. While you might still be able to somehow hide from certain people and companies that you suffer from bedwetting and buy Viagra in massive quantities, the government and megacorporations know literally everything about you. And any black guy working as an operator for minimum wage can see these facts and have a good laugh with his family and friends over your little sins.
