Pune-Bouveret-Zurich-Montreux-Louisville!!

I'm back and in the US (surprisingly). The journey was ok, had one of my schoolmate with me so was not boring at all. Once in US, was so lucky to have all sorts of delays at the Newark and Chicago airport, bad weather being the first. Everything was so mismanaged, no proper notifications that the flights were running late. The transition here was OK, slowly getting used to the American way of life(blaahhh), Europe was and is way better. The only thing is that US is cheaper than CH. I will say that I am lucky to get something over here, most of mes amis don't have anything on their hands as yet. I hope they all get here soon, it will be one hell of a party. All the best to all of them, they will surely find something soon.

I'm in Louisville, KY. Its a cool place, not too hectic. Plenty of stuff to do around here apart from work. I have to look for some kind of a sports club or just a gym. Good food, friendly and helpful locals, alcohol (Bourbon Country baby!!!). I'm content. On the downside, many homeless people here; always asking one for some money, food or a ciggy. One of them even asked me n my friend while we were walking around whether we were willing to share a beer with him in a pub he was standing outside!!! Dodgy!!! The picture over here is the view of the downtown skyline as seen from my hotel room.

Well I am staying in the hotel itself, all expenses paid till I move into an apartment after I get my SSN. Its cool, staff are very very casual; so casual that the waiters even ask each other whether one of them wants to step out for a smoke. And all this right in front of the guests! Well food in the hotel is great, huge portions. Not much to do in the room apart from watching TV. And there is an Indian girl working here, starting at the same time as me. To be frank, she is a bit annoying, doesn't get plain english that much, asks too many questions, has a funny lisp and has no idea of how even the simplest things work in this world. (Murkha ahe!!) Well the only Indian in the hotel apart from moi so no more complaints.

More later as will figure out things here. Plus tôt...
