Hey Cowgirls!!!

Howdy partners!

As fortold to my blogging pal Christine (bubbag.blogspot.com) online craps are the biz. There is nothing quite like taking a dump and buying a CD at the same time. I worry myself at times cos I know the full details of my credit card by heart [im not stupid enough to take a dump AND carry my credit card at the same time....come on!]

LOL

yea, moving swiftly along, I must be careful, there are only a selected few who have been given the address to this blog, it needs to stay selected - cos these are the people who KNOW me. Others would simply read this and think - 'Jesus, ain't talking to him again!'

So, back to the point in hand. America. The Cars are HUGE. The Malls are HUGE and the people working there are SOOOOO friendly. I was expecting them to be annoyingly friendly. But they know the limit - and they know when to simply walk away. It simply takes eye contact to get the attention of staff, and they are only too happy to help, really, its like as if they become seriously happy when they help u out. I like that. I like this Country. I like the exchange rate the most.

Lets rewind a bit - last night was amazing. Was expecting a quiet Monday night. No such luck. Like a Monday night in Guildford or Watford. Amazing. Girls to die for. Good music. No attitude. people very laid back. The guys making little effort in terms of dress, the girls looking stunning.

One thing i did notice - was the fact that because of the high drinking age thing, the variety in the age of these 'cool hang-outs' was quite diverse. Not a bad thing mind you. We'll be going out tonight again, a student thing i gather. Should be a laugh.

Today we went and had an outside brekkie. You seen the film Pulp Fiction? Course you have. Well u remember the cafe place where the raid takes place? "Keep it cool hunny-bunny!!" yeah? I wanted to do that for breakfast. Pancakes and endless coffee. class. Maple syrup. class. Thats what we had for breakfast today. hmmmmmm

We then drove to Dan's uni. OH MY GOD. The nearest thing i can think of to describe the SHEER SCALE of the uni is like a town the size of St. Albans. There are 60 thousand students. At least 20 thousand staff. That alone makes a huge campus, let alone Phoenix.

Stunning girls, 3 Starbucks, 7-8 book stores, about 25 different places to eat (from Burger king to the many taco places, salad bars, sandwhich things and even steak restaurant in the campus. Its collosal. Out of this world. just think the biggest uni u've been to, and multiply it by 12.

Bought an iPod photo from the computer store there. :) saved me about £120. Like i said, i love the US student discount AND the exchange rate. Did i mention I'm having the time of my life?

This was closely followed by a shopping extravaganza. The credit card melted. :) To have been expected. Nish and Mike often call me the shopping queen. And i shopped today. :)

To be continued...
