My 1st and 2nd days in the USA( Read more... )

So, my first day was rather outstanding mostly because everything is so unsual for me here. It just so much different you won't believe...

So, my 20 hours flight Moscow-Atlanta-Portland was rather good. Fortunetly i had an interesting guy from Kazan' siting next to me and my 12 hours Moscow-Atlanta flight was not as difficult because of good healthy communication. Also, on our way we were able to watch movies and listen music. For sure, everything in english. So, i've seen the movie(cartoon created with computers) which we do have at our cinemas at home, it is about penguins and ice-bergs)...so, it was difficult to understand because there so many songs and i have some difficulties with understanding songs, especially when  they are  in  african style and so. For sure the cartoon is very very similar to our soviet cartoon with Lolo and Lulu(or something like that)..so, somehow i do not understand the main idea..could any one tell it  to me, huh?

Also, we were watching a crazy comedy about afro-americans...it was with several famous afro-americans though i don't know their names...probably [Edi Merfie] and [Snoop Dog] and many others...and it was about a young man who had difficulties with his too heavy wife...
and almost all jokes were about her weight and so..you know i won't watch in cinema or at home but it was very in time because when you have 12 hour flight you need something to keep your brains busy and relaxed at the same time...

...Atlanta...must be the biggest airport in the world, it has it own metro and so...lines, lines and lines again, we are at custom and there is great number of people, they are divided into us citizens and visitors and i'm awaiting for serious checking with all your things vied and so. But nothing like that, you just have to take off your shoes and belt and backpack and to go through check point...it was easy indeed..mean, in Moscow russians were checking me much more longer and so..so, i'm on my second flight, Atlanta-Portland..the airplane at least is twice smaller than my previous one..i'm sitting on the middle sit, american men are on the right and left, they are not very talkative...one looks like a programmer or lawyer and i helped him with plugging his wires into right holes...on the other side, a man about 40, must be biz-man but he is reading something about Bible. Also he had got a blackberry, you know it is mix of smartphone and pda...looks to be a useful device...on this flight i was watching Wild Hogs and Robin Hood. First is comedy about funny bikers and guess, you must be similar with second one...sometimes i'm closing my eyes and trying to sleep since it is more than 24 hours without sleep for me...somehow it is difficult to sleep and i'm watching movies....

Finally, we are in Portland...i'm so tired and so...i'm on my way to take my luggage and here is my Baby...7 months you know...[then there is something you do you if you have love or you must have seen it in the movies(though it is better when real) and i won't give a description)]...we take my bag, take our car from parking and we're on our way home...the weather is wonderful and so is the nature...on our way i saw elks, raccoons  and many many different unknown birds, air is awesome, like in a sea you know...2am we are in Astoria...wow, that is really big house...

//now my Only One is awake, so i will continue writing later
