Arrival

---

Yay I arrived in America safe and sound! The flights were smooth - except for the one tense moment where turbulence forced the cabin crew to stop giving out dinner and rush off to their seats!

My welcome in US has been interesting so far. I've haven't really done anything tourist-ish yet. The humdrum of life has been interesting enough so far!

One thing I've noticed is the amount of apartment buildings all through the city and suburbs. Reminds me of a campus - they all look like dorms! There really is a stark difference between the "up-down" and the "down town".

My highlight so far has been the Nigerian restaurant we visited this afternoon. It has a nice ambience. Real nice & homely.
