Which do you like - Nature with Healthy or City with Unhealty?

After 10 days training camp at the farm in Kamloops, Canada, I went to Vancouver to see my Japanese friends by Greyhound bus.  On the long way to Vancouver in the bus, I was thinking of the experience at the farm.  I was touched as I left the nice mountain guys and the place where I spent for 10 days, though it had been a hard time and just a little too healthy and natural.  Half of my mind, on the other hand, was getting excited as the bus was approaching to the city.

Vancouver was totally different from the place I stayed.  It was much more different than the difference between Tacoma (where I live) and Seattle.  I can not choose which better is nature or city if you asked me.  I like nature.  I hope I am always healthy and I am trying to eat healthy food in daily life.  However, I have got used to live in the city with unhealthy food, such as noodles, french fries, fizzy drinks, and so on, more than in nature.  People always choose the way which they feel better or easier.  As for me, I chose the same way as them at the day in the city of Vancouver.

My answer was just "Ramen" (Japanese noodle) to the question from my friend what I want to do in Vancouver.  As I had stayed away from my favourite Japanese food Ramen since when I came to the U.S (for 3 months), I wanted to eat it.  It was one of the big reasons.  Ramen is not good for our body because it is oily.  I guess the biggest reason was my body wants to have kind of oily food as I had lived with too healthy food in the nature.  I enjoyed Ramen with my friends, and then we went to the famous cheesecake shop.  A piece of cheesecake after Ramen was a perfect course of unheathy food!  There was pleasure, there was lots of fat too. Maybe that is the point of my question as a title.

Joy or pleasure makes us happy and smile.  That is one of the healthiest essences which make us healthy.  At times, we try to take care of our health and it can cause unpleasant or boring lives.  That is kind of ridiculous.  We should enjoy meals as we think about our body, to keep eating fat food is not a good idea though.  By the way, the Ramen and cheesecake was an amazing taste!  Well, I am going to eat instant noodle and ice cream today.

A little bit of what you fancy does you good! That's my motto anyway :)
