To My Room

I wake up in the morning and checkout from the hotel and headed to my new room. I asked for a taxi to go to the UV it's was not that far I know but I have to because I have some luggage to take and it's was heavy, so that’s why I decided to take a taxi.

After I went to my room, it was empty so I know its time for shopping. I went to the nearest market called Target. And bought my stuff that I need and took them back to my room. I was confused and tired. Also I had to open a bank account to pay for the room and other stuff. So I walked to the nearest bank it's was far from here. But someone like me what he can do with no car and know no one.

Well, I went to my room again to take a nap for 2 hours. Then on 5 pm my roommate came to the apartment. I talked to him and introduced my self. He was with his girlfriend. She was nice and cute. After that everyone went to his room. I talked my family and read some magazines than went back to sleep.

The next day, because of the destines from the school and market or bank I thought its better to go and buy a bike(bicycle) and I bought it J OH man at last I got some rest and I can breath now.

09-22-2006 – it's was the hell boring. The city its self is very boring. I forget to write about that I bought a laptop from best buy. So I downloaded Google earth and searched for nearby attractive places, all I got is a small park nearby I can go to it by bicycle. I went there it's was lovely place and quit I liked it. I had my rest there and smoked my lovely cigarettes, enjoyed my stay. Came back from the park, its was 11 am. Went to the restaurant that our dorm had it. It's free for 2 meals a day. I took my meals while I was watching TV.

Boring boring boring place. Its was beautiful day for me. Its was gray day and cloudy I like that. I wanted to go out again. So I went back to the park and enjoyed the rest of the day there. The hell this city Fullerton is very boring city. There is no taxi no parks no rail trains no metro like NY the transportation sucks. Very quit city good for someone want to study only. For the people who want to have fun and like nature like me get the hell out of this city or even state. California sucks really. They say we have this we have that but hell all they have Disneyland and Hollywood plus some six flags park things for kids. The weather is hot here and people like it. But ya this city or state not for me. Because in my country the weather is same and we have parks like those they have it in California. So what have changed for me only different people.

The days passed and the months ended and start of new month October…

Before The Moving Day

After I got my room details the one I am going to stay I went to the location to chick it. I liked the place, it was good and clean and the stuff very friendly. So I paid the fess and head back the hotel for my last night.

It was afternoon and I was bored so I asked the front disk where the good places around are and how to get to them. She told me that she can call a cab for me and he can take me to shopping or anywhere I want. I said ok so the cab came and he took me to Brea Mall. Its well known mall in Brea and Fullerton. The mall was boring and small and 15 min is enough for it to see it all. I decided to go to Disneyland for the change. So called the cab from Brea Mall and went to downtown Disneyland. The place was ok to walk and take some pictures so I did thatJ. And at least I visited the famous downtown Disneyland that we use to see it on TV only. It was kind of a dream so 1 dream is downJ.

You know the main problem in California is taxi. You can not get a taxi easy specially if you are new to the town and you don’t have a cell phone. You have to barge people to call a taxi. Most of the cities in the world you see the taxis everywhere and its easy to travel from one point to other. But here no way and you have to pay min of 20$ for 4 or 5 mile trip.
I headed back to my hotel and had a rest talked to the family, had my dinner, went to bed. And I am done for the day.

My first night in the USA California

So I took my bags and went to outside to look for a bus to take me to my hotel. First thing I did when I went out smoked my lonely Marlboro lights. It's was amazing after that long flight, I never wanted that cigarette to finish. Well one guy he was working there asked me where I am going so I told him where I am going and he told me to wait for the bus. The bus system was nice I liked it and o everything will be nice after that long flight.

The first thing I wanted to do to call my family. So I arrived at the Marriott hotel in Fullerton (10/13/2006).And took a room but the shit they are very rude. A lady who was working there were laughing I don’t know why. Imagine I am tired from the fuckin long flight and you see someone laughing at you, but for me I said nothing paid the money took the room.

Although its was expensive but the rooms was ok. The only shit is the stuff that is working there. I worked in Airline Company I know about customer service and this shit stuff need 1 year of more training or her ass will be kick by someone. Her accents looks like Russian or something I am not sure. Never mind shit happens all the time.

After I arrived at my room I called my family we talked about 20 min that’s was good for me. Then I went to sleep. The next day morning I went to the university to apply for the class. The shock was they did not arrange a room for me. So I have to sleep in the hotel more nights.

I finished my things with them and went back to the hotel and slept for 2 hours. Wake up had my launch in wonderful dinneys restaurant. And ofcaurse I changed the hotel too. I went to chase suit hotel. Its was lovely hotel very nice stuff and I liked it.

The next day I went back to the university to check if there is something for me. They told me that there is a sharing apartment I took it.

The Flight

I went to the ticketing area. And gave them my ticket and passport and left my bag on the weight machine to weight it so its will go on cargo. But guess what its weighting 38 kg. So they said it's not allowed to carry that much in one bag, you have to separate them in 2 bags. Well for me its start of the bad mood. Well I went to the shop nearby and bought a small bag to separate my things. Will I went to them back and everything was OK. Will someone was waiting for me and I sow my watch there were some time until the flight time. So I sow my friend and said goodbye. Well I am a smoker so I went upstairs and to the smoking area and smoked 2 cigarettes. I felt very relaxed and ready for the flight.

The crew announced for the flight and we went boarding. Thank god I requested for a window seat. Because I knew its long flight and I have to take window seat. Let me tell you the flight was very long and boring plus because we have to fly from Zurich first then to LA. And maybe 80% of the passengers were poor people for Kazakhstan or Turkish. The flight was smelly and dirty also the food was bad. It was Swissair. Form my old experience in flying its use to be good and good food. But the hell I never care.

I arrived to Zurich airport the time was 7:00 AM and my next flight is on 12:00 PM. The flight took almost 7 hours to Zurich. I was tired and went for a coffee. I really for the fist time in my life felt lonely and missing my home and family. I flow a lot before but this time was different because I knew I will not be back in 1 year. So I went to find 3 seats and to lay down and have a rest and I found it. My back was hearting me so its was easy for me to sleep because of the long flight... damn I just remembered that sucked...!

Oh man I wake up and felt I want I long sleep. Went to smoking area and had my lovely smoke my best friend. And took the train to the departure lounge and to the plan. Well this time the flight will be more long like 12 hours. I knew this will make me sick. So I tried my best to sleep. Again it's Swissair with small seats and bad food. After 12 hours of direct flight we arrived to LAX. I was feeling very exciting so went to the passport officer to check my passport and things. He was kind of rude but who cares after flying 25 hours. I finished with him and went and took my bags.

Then one day morning when I wakeup I sow a missed call then I called back guess what it's the American embassy calling me to tell me that my application is ready. I was very happy to know that I will leave soon to US. But was feeling little bet of sad too... because I will miss my family
