Rowan's Amazing American Adventure

Sophie made me eat frogs legs yesterday, going against all my Landarian principles. Yuck.
Prizes to be awarded for the best answer to the question: what do they do with the rest of the frogs? 'Chicken' nuggets?

We have, indeed, arrived stateside. Several disasters have already occurred: I have nearly burnt the flat down tryign to boil a kettle (nothing's quite the same over here...) but luckily we have no smoke alarm, so all's ok!!! Zo and I got takeaway last night, only to discover that chow mein over here comes with wierd crisps, not noodles, and french bread. Weird. Have made my first trip to starbucks, a key american experience, I feel. Have also seen first cockroach, which was less impressive. Thankfully it wasn't in our flat.
Other than this, all is well. Hit fifth ave and central park yesterday, and found amazing church over here which has the most amazing music - opera arias and a string quartet pipe up at intervals! Soph is already late for first apptment, so we're starting as we mean to go on. Next mission is to track down blueberry pancakes. Will report back on success of this.

PS. It's raining! Am not impressed. I blame Bush.

Hey y'all (practicing my American).

Finally starting the America prep. Rather than bombard you all with emails which end up in yr junk mail, lose all your addresses, and be generally pilloried for forgetting to communicate, I thought I'd be thoroughly modern and try and blog my way round the states.

To date, I have managed to source suitable clothing for the trip. This, of course, is far more important than actually preparing any of the work I'll be presenting out there... Oh dear...

Keep tabs here for sporadic updates as and when I find an internet connection!
