Americaaaa… Here I Come!!

Wazaaaap people!! In about 17 hours I’m going to be on my plane heading to Chicago via transit in Tokyo. Muahaha I can’t wait. I’ve been waiting for quite a long time now for this day. This is going to be my first visit to the US and I’m really excited. It’s hopefully going to be a very nice 5 weeks vacation. Destinations in the US will include Portland, Maine… NYC… Chicago and maybe California. I’m not really going there for the purpose of doing “touristy” things but rather to visit friends and family. I’m very excited however because I finally get to experience America for myself rather than through Hollywood, peoples’ stories or MTV. I take pride in having being able to mix and meet various people from different cultures and backgrounds in my life. I believe it makes you a richer and more open minded person. Stick around as during this 5 weeks, I’ll give you my perspective of America through my own eyes and experiences. I hope my holiday will make me richer and give me “that missing thing”. I won’t be able to blog as often as I do now but I will do my best to at least post something twice or three times each week. Thank you all for being supportive readers and for helping me in my quest towards better understanding. I’ve been able to learn so much from you all through our discussions.PS: For the latest happenings and updates on Sudan check out Sudan Watch and Sudan Tribune.

Peace out brothers and sisters!

    Drima,
    I hope you have a great time. I’m sure you will find the lion’s share of Americans to be tolerable and friendly. I want you to keep in mind, though, that America is alot more than just the places you mentioned. As an American, even I didn’t realize that until i decided to travel across country back in 2001.

    Have a lovely time, Drima :)
    I’m sure you won’t be dissappointed. As far as I know “Americans” - they’re about the friendliest people on earth!

    Looking forward to reading your experiences,

    Tse.

    Uber-cool!

    Man, you’re stopping at Narita in Tokyo? If you got the time, catch the bus to Shinjuku - even if it’s for an hour. Trust me, it’s well worth it :)
    I am really looking forward to your posts from the States.

    Ooooh, I am jealous… I won’t be able to do Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego (hopefully my next trip) for at least another year…

    Have loads of experiences (fun comes second, reporting first ;)!

    I hope you have a wonderful time in the U.S. I’m American and like your first post, always remember there are soooo many more states and so much more to see. Calif. is fabulous… if you go, I hope you really enjoy it. I’m not big on Chicago, but I know a lot of ppl who love it there. I think you’ll find everyone to be really friendly and open. Again, have a great time!
