My former officemate has been assigned here in Seoul for a year. He’s been working in New York for more than a couple of years now. He has recently become health conscious and from what he’s been telling us, New Yorkers are very health conscious people. I guess he was heavily influenced by his environment there. He mentioned that aside from prices, restaurants also indicate the number of calories in the food that they sell. These make people very conscious about what they eat. Also, he mentioned that people in New York walk a lot because they take the subway or the bus unlike in California where people find it more convenient to drive their car. They say that it is for this reason that there are more fat people in California. I guess Californians will depend more on diet pills like Lipovox if they want to lose weight unlike their more weight conscious counterparts in the East Coast.
