welcome to the hotel California

1.8 - 5.8

After a 5,5 hour flight and no food for about 6 hours (I didn't want to spend a lot of money on crappy food), I arrived at LAX. I got my luggage and took the shuttle to the car rental. Since I was not the only person to pick up a car I had to wait in line for about 90 minutes and I still hadn't eaten.. The guy at Alamo gave me a lot of discount so I got a SUV instead of a little car.

The first thing I headed to, was some place to eat. Finally, after more than 9 hours. I might have eaten that burger in about 30 seconds =).

The drive up to Santa Barbara took me about 1.5 hours. Thibault, my ex roommate from the language school picked me up and I followed him to the apartment. We had a couple beers and after that we went to a club. It was very nice to be out partying, however, they closed at 01:30.

The next day we went to some nice place to have breakfast with some of Thibaults friends. I didn't like it that much, so I won't be going there any more. I dropped them of because they wanted to go to the beach, I myself went to Downtown Santa Barbara and walked around State Street. It was so nice. In the evening I bought some groceries so that I didn't have to eat out every day.

On Monday I went to the gym and after that I visited my old teacher at the EF school. It was very cool to meat John again and we might grab a coffee some day before I leave. It was also International Night at Sharkeez. The party was awesome and I had a lot of fun.

Since Thibaults friends frome France were to come on Tuesday and he'd be gone for 10 days, I drove him to LAX and dropped him off there. Now I have his room for myself.

Besides eating at Jack in the Box and Panda Express (mhmmm) I haven't done so much yet, I'm just enjoying the Californian life.

Today Fieasta started, It's an annual street party here in Santa Barbara with lot's and lot's of people. So I'm going to be at the fiesta until Saturday. On Thursday, I'm going to go to the outlet stores in Camarillo to be done with all the sopping.

You'll hear more from mee soon.
