So i do find myself in the US of A… after being fingerprinted and mugg shot taken during the customs process i was released into NYC… Caught the bus into grand central station and only got a glipse of the skyline, but wow, what a place it is… there is just an energy on the streets… Stayed a night in le city and stayed at a friends place, and had dinner out, before sleeping and catching a train straight up to sticks-ville Connecticut to catch up with some old friends….

So i find myself just off campus at UCONN- University of Connecticut, staying at a friends apartment, which is a 20min walk through bushland to get to campus… see below… The UCONN campus is actually really nice, but because there is really nothing else there, it can seem pretty isolated. Connecticut in general is really leafy green, with forests everywhere…

The campus below… (think latrobe style)

So college life at an American Uni is exactly as i and most of us imagine it to be… have spent many a night drinking beer and watching baseball and/or American football- i include the and because two TV’s had been brought into the one room, to have two games broadcast simultaneously! Yes, i am serious. Oh and if you didn’t guess am staying with boys here.

Slowing finding all my old gang from the study abroad program in greece, and its nice catching up with them….lots more of that to come.

There will be plenty of NY shots to some… am heading back there soon- maybe next week to hang out in Soho and check out MoMA amongst other things which include lots of bagel eating and ofcourse, my manditory hotdog!
