LETTERS FROM THE LIVING
Monday, January 01, 2007
Indeed I've safely touch downed, and horror upon horrors, the entire nation is entirely engrossed in a touchdown of a different kind - the NFL playoffs! Anyway, greetings from more than a thousand miles! Currently waking up in the wee hours of the morning to grab some available network.(the temp hostel has wi-fi, but when many r using it, the router jams and the network disables automatically!)
Phew! Thank God!! I finally landed safely in Atlanta, Georgia. After much drama - which started the moment I went thru the Singapore customs, that spans across 3 flights (flight to Tokyo exceeded my expectations, flight to Minneapolis was an arduous 12 hrs with no personal in-flight entertainment! Flight to Atlanta was delayed.) and a resulting late check-in at the Atlanta International Hostel, which used to be a brothel! Facilities are adequate and we will explore some places these few days as we have nothing to do!
The weather here is around 5 to 10degreesC and it was surprisingly comfortable than chilly (mountain tortise just breathed his first few breaths of visible air – machiam u smoking 24/7 lidat one! Cool sia, no pun intended)
Interesting happenings aplenty, from taking photos with a bunch of drunken revelers (rather involuntarily) and witnessing first-hand a gripping police car chase down the street where we are currently staying before going to Georgia Tech. No alcohol is allowed to be sold on Sundays according to state law! All this on the first few hours of arriving in Atlanta.
Will upload some pics once I have the time and the more generous internet bandwidth at Georgia Tech!
