Jazz eat, thin air, Greenday and Argentina Finally!
I have for more than 10 days, U.S. tonight finally got a few minutes to devote myself to this blog. How Chrissi has announced thankfully, I will be here again and again Impressions of my journey and my work to present. So fucking hot.
first Stop: Chicago.
This city is simply amazing! Hard to believe that one is located in the Midwest, Chicago is pretty steep.
Once there, put it turns out, I home in the middle of Chicago's Greektown. I was also there directly out of an older Greek exile, who was pleased to visit from home.
planned even without anything to I have then gone into the city, past Union Station and off to the Art Institute, to stay there just to chill on the stairs outside the museum and listen to the street music.
On the second day we went directly to Lollapalooza - 'NEM really fat festival in the middle of the city in the Grand Park (know the most likely of Al Bundy - the fountain in the opening credits to "Married family there ) The bands - simply brilliant.! Gogol Bordello, Social Distortion, Stars, The XX and above all, Greenday very awesome thing, especially because Greenday have played in the end almost 2 1 / 2 hours
.
At the time last day in Chicago I was with the people from my hostel. Mallory and Josh from California in Brisbane I was on the Sears Tower and the Tower Hankcock. In the evening I got me then with Josh, Andreas (Denmark, Sean (Australia) and Christian (Germany) where the edge. Yeah!
2nd Stop: Notre Dame.
How artificial and decadent to be a university? Notre Dame, Catholic, private university in Indiana - prestige of the Vatican and one of the 20 most prestigious educational institutes of the United States - can understand the meaning of the word parallel society vague guess. On the giant plant is not a graffiti, not to find a little weed and almost as few blacks and Latinos.
Strange as it seems plain, so impressive was the experience of over 60 meet young people from around the world - Japan, China, Malaysia, France, Kenya, Palestine, Oman, Argentina, Uruguay, Ireland and more stuffed with too much to eat good, we have prepared ourselves for our future work and a lot of extremely crappy.
On the last night we presented after eating a few typical cases. Meike from Wuppertal and I did not have lumps and 'High on the yellow cars "given to the best - for the amusement of the other Fulbright: D
third Stop. re Chicago
am For the next two days I returned to Chicago, this time with the Argentine group of the preparatory meeting. How fucking cool are these people? I can not tell me how many times I've almost peed in my pants (seriously!). First night, meeting at 18:30 of the bean. After an open-air classical music concert in the middle of Millennium Park, we are there we are Navy Pier Turistenmeile to run.
At this time really the last day in Chicago we went to an air show at Lake Michigan down. From there, the zoo, where I could see once again how funny animals are simple. I will also be one favorite monkey .
evening we went to a poetry slam at the Green Mill, Al Capone's favorite pub. How have the artists' good in that. The Giessen Poetry slams are a shit against it (sad but true).
4th Stop: Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Now I'm in my apartment (which is not bad, by the way) and I will stay here for 10 months. Next week will go of my courses. I still have no time to report it, but much can be revealed: Everyone has at least a van or jeep. People have compared to the other side of the road safety equal to four, but a little detached - who drives the car so I do not know. Therefore, it is probably also largely no sidewalk (really now, I'm so not really expected). Otherwise, everything as expected: a lot of Methodists and Baptists who consider George W. for the greatest (Yep, no joke). The people are for it but so friendly and open, so I could pretty happy here.
