The bus rides really sucked (once again reminding me why there exists so many stereotyping/prejudism against Chinese in America... Their services/attitudes/product are really at the bottom of the commercial chain)
I have 2 weeks of additional holiday before work commences (gives me ample time to move house n prepare myself. Hallelujah!)
I'm in NY atm (pray they give us huge ass beds in our apartment)
I'm exceeding my budget (maybe I shud give tuition on my weekends to supplement my income)
I miss Asian food
I miss the convenience of a lappie
Books are really cheap in the States.
I got a kindle.
And an amazon gift card.
It's been more than 2 weeks already. Still not really feeling at home here (tho I dun see the need to since I'm only a tourist) cos somehow I feel most white Americans have a preconceived prejudice against Chinese, tho we've met a few so far dat's genuinely nice.
Everything's nice and good, at least there hasn't been any conflicts and unpleasant episodes btw ourselves or with the locals. Money's tight tho, cos e shopping n sumtimes food here are simply unbelievable.
As much as I 'fear' the States (blame it on e media's negativity), I really like the physical part of e country. The weather, the countryside. The driving haha. It'll be a nice place to move to, except for the fact that e country's always in e news for e wrong reasons.
