Donuts vs. Doughnuts

In Portugal we have donuts. Donuts are sold at the supermarket wrapped in packs of 4 (or any other ramdom number). In the US there are doughnuts! Doughnuts are mostly eaten by policemen and are sold in doughnut shops where you can watch them being made in a production line. Even better, you can then eat them while they're still warm and they will melt in your mouth... Mnham!!

doughnuts being baked in a gigantic oven...

...deep fried...

...and covered with sugar glaze

then they can be filled or covered with pretty much anything you can think of :)

Bon appétit!!!

Shopping Spree

Tired of going up and down on the escalators, shopping for hours on a seven story building? Why not stop for a coffe and enjoy the view? Or maybe having a cheesecake at the 8th floor sky terrace level after your spending spree is over will suit you better...

Oh well, excessive consumerism is good for the economy. Don't you just love America?

Skipping practice

My coach was really happy to see me on the ice rink today. She was thinking I had given up on going to next year's olympics. Pfff, as if...
