Washington D.C.!

14 August 2008; 2320hrs Washington D.C. (USA)

I forgot to mention. I bought the shuffles from the largest Apple store in Boston yesterday. The store is really high-tech! All of them have a portable card swiper thing and send you receipts electronically! Cool! Reduces waste!

After a long arduous journey, lasing for 8 hours, including a delayed flight and getting lost in D.C., we finally made it to the hostel at 1500hrs. And it looks absolutely horrid from the outside! It’s not that bad inside. A tad old and ratty, but liveable. What i dislike is the neighbourhood. It’s full of blacks (Not that I have anything against them. It’s just the stereotypical image I have of them. Blame American TV.) All blacks in the bus. Really scary. Of course, they are fine really. It’s the swagger and attitude they possess and exhibit that frightens me. I’m a coward I guess.

After making it to the hostel alive, and late at that, we decided not to go to any sights or museums, but to shop at Macy’s instead. We’ll clear the sights tomorrow, so it will be a looong day.

Dinner was at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Another Asian meal in two days. I want to eat what the locals eat! That was why I ordered a sausage, cheese and egg Stromboli for breakfast at the airport. I don’t want to miss out on these things! Sigh... I can’t possible force the two to think the same way as me... Oh well... I just have to take things a step at a time.
