Well yes!! Two in one day!!! Ok firstly its because I wanted to discuss politics and secondly there's a blizzard outside don't you know!! It started snowing at 12pm and it hasn't stopped!! Its almost 10pm!! Eck!!! In saying that I did manage to get two things done!! The American Museum Of Natural History...but not before I got myself lost again!! Well actually I got on the wrong train!! I was supposed to get on the B to 81st Street..but I waited and waited and no B came...so I got on the D thinking it would go past my stop...and it did go past my stop, right past my stop until I got to 125th Street!!!! Now many Americans have told me that its very unsafe for a white person to go past 100th Street and yes I was at 125th!!! Apparently you stick out like a sore thumb or something!!! Anyways after standing there looking like a dork, for what seemed like ages, one of the train drivers is like "are you waiting for the B, cause it doesn't run on the weekend, you gotta catch the C"....So after a while I finally made it to the Museum...It was defintiely
worth it! Went and watched an Imax called Jane Goodall's 'Chipamzee's"...Man it made me want to go to Africa even more!! So I was thinking in about a years time, I might try and get on one of those volunteer programs over there, where you get to work with the animals..But I need to do more research!!
Anyways oh yeah!!! Today I got to meet John Travolta, George Clooney and who was that other famous fella!! hhmm oh yeah thats right Brad Pitt!!...I even have the pictures to prove it!! Work that one out people!!!!
Ok so the politics!! Well you all remember the guy Joe I told you about? One of the New Yorkers I met on my first night here!! Well ok I took my Dutch friend for a couple of drinks down at Smiths bar, where he happened to be AGAIN!!! So yeah she's a pretty straight up kinda person and was talking to Joe about the way she got treated at the airport in the USA, just because she was from Holland!!! He starts going into politics and the whole God Bless America thing and anyways, we disagreed with what he had to say!!! We were
like we know you have to protect your borders even more after 9/11 but come on!!...and he starts talking about how Bush is soooooooooo great!!! I've seen Farenheit 9/11 and he's a few bricks short of a load that guy!! Anyways because we didn't agree that Bush WAS THE MAN!!!..and because we disliked the way that foreigners get treated at the airport!! He decided not to talk to us anymore, which was fine cause he was getting ANNOYING!!!..Anyway it just seems to me, that in the USA your either for Bush or your not!!!..and if your not alot of people are like well SCREW YOU THEN!!!! That is the first and last time I ever get involved in a political conversation here in the USA...He was like you have to understand I watched those buildings burn...and yes it was a tragedy...and as I was standing at Ground Zero the other day...It got me thinking that to the World its a tragedy because it happened in a Westernised Society!! But what about the tragedy of people in Third World Countries who starve to death or are slaughtered everyday!!! Now I'm not trying to diminish 9/11 in anyway, I was just as
sad as everybody else!! But to the Americans, alot of them NOT ALL only think about what goes on in there country and couldn't give two hoots about the rest of the world!!! Yes I know I'm probably going to get shot or something for saying this...and feel free to give me feedback or question me on anything I might have said...But so far those are just my general observations..Its just everybody here expects everyone to say God Bless America, like its the great I am...aarrggh I dunno!!
But to date I have really enjoyed my time here!!!! People have been extremely friendly!! Just don't get them into politics LOL!!!!!
Ok well somebody shoot me now, go on I dare ya LOL!!!!!!
Cya later everyone!!!!
Take care!!!
