Settling in

Again, I feel lost for words. Less than a week ago I was sat in England with no visa and no real sign of when I might make it to the United States. But now I write this just an hour away from the start of my first day at work.

This weekend I have stayed in the finest hotel in Spokane, Davenport. I spent the weekend window shopping, watching a movie and talking a walk down riverside. The atmosphere in the American movie theatre was something else, though the film 'Happening' wasn't all that great.


By 5pm Eastern time I was in my new apartment,
I was somewhat surprised too.
I'm not sure whether I will have a room mate or whether the two bedrooms and bathrooms are for me and potential visitors. I've found the local starbucks and the 7-eleven grocery store, which is full of cola, tacos, sweets, jerky, crisps and ready meals. It seems I'm gonna have a job finding good food locally.

So, I'm being picked up for my first day at PAML in 45 minutes. I'll being talking all about it in my next entry..
