Arrival and Football

You know the rumors about crazy America. Filled up with weapons, no alcoholic drinks allowed outside and of course everyone drives a car, twice as big as an European one. So get ready, fasten your seat belts and hear the truth about the wild west in Year 2010:

Thuesday 23.th of September: 

Captain, we found some land, it´s the ... Canadian coast of Quebec, I arrived American air space.

Me after 9 hours of flight
(Mark I´m sorry bro, but if you are missing your shirt... I think I´m wearing it ;) )
I arrived at JFK Airport after a really nice 9 hour flight from Vienna. At the first security check, directly after getting off the airplane, my fingerprints were scanned and saved. Standard procedure, just like the small talk with the nice policeman, who asked me about my reasons for coming to America. Yea about that, this small talk took at least about 10 minutes, and he even called some backup. So two policeman asked me about, why am I arriving, why so long, how could I afford it. I even had to tell them about the REFI office at Linz to ensure them I´m not part of an Al-Qaida terror operation.



So after I passed the rest of the security checkpoints, I was officially in the US of A. I had about one hour left, and I needed to find a bathroom urgent as hell. I found one...... 
...yea I don´t wanna go into details and I feel sorry for that gross picture but hell, that was really my first impression of America ;)



The Ipod automate, very usefull, if you lost player at home^^



The second one was much more interesting and gave me a peek about the small differences between America and Europe. So if you use a public automate in Austria, you can get basic stuff like money, sweets, lemonade, cigarettes and so on... . Here you get.... right an Ipod, or additional stuff for your Ipod. I just saw a small part of JFK Airport, but I got across two Ipod-automates.



The flight with American Airways was slightly different to the transatlantic flight with Austrian Airlines. So transformed the nice, pretty, young Austrian Airlines stewardess, with an amazing rack, wich served me Gin Tonic and delicious meals, into the American steward. His weight was about 115 to 125 kg, he had a nice military haircut and a voice like a drill seargent on LSD, but his boobs where quiet as big as those from the Austrian Airlines stewardess. Without a meal to eat and barley something to drink, the flight from JFK to Phoenix AZ was not really relaxing, but after 5 and a half hours I arrived.

My friend Martin, finally catched me up on the airport, after I paged his name "Martin Scheisslör" via the speakers over the whole Phoenix airport. So whats the first destination you are going, after 22 hours of traveling? Right, so we got directly to a nice bar in Mill Ave (Nr. 1 party location around) to catch some beers. They even serve Stiegel beer, so I felt instantly like at home. They didn´t even wanted to see my ID.


Martin and Martina

Later in the evening we arrived at my new home for the next couple of weeks. A real nice apartment, with pool, balcony, big kitchen and three real kind roommates: Martin, Martina and Paul. Pictures about the whole apartment complex will be delived soon...
After I got myself comfortable with the place, by grabbing some beers, and partying at a nice bar  called Zuma´s (six Adios Motherfuckers-Cocktails and a couple of shots later), I finally felt like having arrived.





Friday 24.th of September:
So after my first party night, I joined Martin to the university! And got some nice impressions how a students life at ASU campus must be. About 75.000 students go to university... damn a Mensaparty would be awesome here...





 btw: if you are hungry check out my amazing burgers! Everyone enjoyed them.
Go home MC Donalds

Today is the big game day! The Arizona Sun Devils play against the Oregon Ducks, sounds like an amazing college football game. Martin bought me as welcome present a ticket for the game. So I had to suit up... and GO DEVILS GO!
After, what I would call prepartying at the parking place with the parents of some new made friends, we took your seats in the student section of the ASU Sun Devils Stadium. What a spectacle...

Talegating = "Vorglühen" befor the football game
