Arrived at Chicago in the early morning, perfectly in time for the next connecting flight to Charlotte.
I should have bought some drink and food before boarding; I simply didn't know we could bring those thing up to the plane.....luckily the flight time is not too long. The plane became smaller and smaller but this time the set is quite comfortable.
After a comparitively short flight, I arrived at Charlotte, two hours away but already the closest city to Columbia I can get a plane ticket to this time.
The airport at Charlotte is pretty nice with free Wifi and power outlets. I guess that's why "The Terminal" would be possible! :p
Public transportation here, on the other hand, is apparently not so sweet...As I haven't applied a cellphone yet, I tried to call a private shuttle company through the telephone booth.
Luckily the lady at the information counter kindly lent me her cellphone after I wasted 2 dollars on the public phone without any achievement.
But the result is sadly another two hour wait....and I didn’t go to either the restroom nor grab some food as the two big suitcases I had are really hard to carry around.
1:30 in the afternoon, a minivan came to pick me up, along with another girl, who I believe is the main reason why I had to wait for two hours.
Anyways I slept all the way until dropped in front of the house I’m going to stay for at least one year.
My future roommate is not at home but he left a note on the door stating that he hid the key behind the spring festival scroll; how could he be so sure that other people won’t recognize Chinese!?
The rent is $352.5 per month including electricity and water; I guess that’s why I felt like entering skating rink when opening the door.
The space we have is really big, and the best thing should be that furniture and Internet are already set!
Leaving all the stuff home, I went to see my professor ; seems like a good person......hope he’s what he looks like....
Arriving back home, meeting my roommate Alex and his friend Kevin, a student from China that knows Taiwan pretty well and had a car!
So we went to Walmart for my first day purchase.
I think a hundred for settlement is acceptable; thanks to the fact the mascot of USC is cock, not so attracting so I didn’t spend much on its product.
It’s been quite a while since the last time I used traveler’s check so I signed at the wrong place, so embarrassing!
The first meal here is Burrito, Mexican food as we are “south.”
I’ was full already when finished chips and the unlimited drink.....I feel the trend of getting fat now.......maybe I’ll be too fat to join the military when I go back...:P
Other Taiwanese students seems pretty nice but it’s quite shocking that almost everyone is in a REALLY steady relationship....
Setting up my room a little bit and it turned out to be 4 o’clock in the morning already........should go to bed before sunrise....lol
=========================
滿地是湖的早安芝加哥。
果然來的及搭飛機，
早知道什麼怪東西都以帶上飛機就先買了，好險飛行時間還不算太長@@；
飛機越換越小，不過這次的小飛機位子倒是挺舒服的！
夏洛特機場有免費的無線網路+插頭好棒，難怪可以有航站情緣，
只是美國的大眾運輸也實在太爛....
機場又沒有賣SIM卡，在花了兩塊打電話後還是好險有好心的櫃檯小姐借我手機叫車；
然後居然要等兩個多小時，行李很多害我又不能去上廁所/吃飯，只好坐在機場地上宅；
一點半來了台Honda休旅車，原本似乎是來接個小妞的，確實是蠻舒服的所以我沿路睡，
室友把鑰匙放在春聯裡面也太吃定印度人看不懂中文...，水電全包的下場果然就是開門有冰宮:P
空間很大很好，傢俱網路都ready了更棒！
東西先丟著就出門辦事，指導教授人不錯，希望他不是陰險的小白臉助教@@
大陸人有車又很台，還很nice的載我去walmart買東西，第一天只花了100多美金應該算是ok，
校園吉祥物是公雞讓人看了不會太有敗家的衝動應該是件好事...，只是旅支簽錯地方感覺好遜...，
晚餐是墨西哥餅，我只吃完side dish的薯片就飽了...剩下都在喝可以無限續杯的飲料，American food.....會不會回去真的胖到免役阿? :P
學長們講話都蠻好笑的，不過都有類未婚妻的存在也太shock...
晚上回來東摸摸西摸摸，挖勒四點了....趕快趁天亮前去睡@@
