Feeling better? now that AZB is gone?
Hello everyone, I am currently in atlanta enjoying the good life. Lights 24 hrs, good food, smooth streets without potholes. Nice to be back in civilization for a change. This is the remedy to living in the banana republic, take short vacations to USA or vice versa (take short vacations to DR if you live in the civilization-concrete jungle).
I landed in NYC on monday morning from SDQ. I had to stay up all night because I waited until last minute to pack my bags. Once landed in NYC, i realized I was in alaska. It was cold and then the rain topped it all off. regardless of the weather, I was taken to very fancy place on 42nd street to a private party. I drank and rubbed shoulders with NY yankees team members. Ivana Trump was also there. The drinks were all premium and people around me were all important. We went there with an indian telecom guru who later invited us to a fancy restaurant in the city. I ate thai food.
Now I must wonder: how the hell americans would ever lose any weight? the food is so delicious in USA and the servings are huge. If I would live there, I will become 300 lbs gorilla.
the next day I went to get my pakistani visa in the NYC pakistani consulate. Folks, I am ashamed to say I am pakistani, after I saw the consulate from inside. The place is a wreck, the furniture seems like its been lifted from garbage, so did the carpet. The employees were all imported from Pakistan (botella jobs), not a single one was worth representing our people, They were filthy and "mal vestidos", badly dressed in shabby clothes. What a shame. I felt like filing a complaint after paying 120 dollars for my multiple visa.
Anyway, I am glad I won't have to go back there in 5 years.
Now I am in atlanta. I was lucky to get a seat yesterday after a few planes were cancelled out-bound to atlanta from Laguardia. I came in 3rd class as compared to First class from SDQ - JFK leg.
Atlanta is truely a world class city. The roads are wide and clean. Houses are all new looking and people are very decent and civilized. I went to my old university and worked out in the gym. Now later I will go to walmart to buy some things for my house in santiago.
My trip report will continue from time to time, as soon as I would get my hands on any PC anywhere. i will be heading back to NYC on the 7th and then will head out to my middle eastern trip. Will keep you all updated.
Bye.
AZB
