Back in the U.S.ofA.

Well after 44 total hours of traveling I landed back in LA. VERY TIRED. But you know what I say, "Never to tired for "Red Robbin" Thats a restaurant that we always went to growing up.

So a little bit about my traveling. It started out at 8AM when I met the shuttle in Swaziland and drove to the JoBurg airport. It was kinda a bummer because my flight didnt leave till 8:20 and I got there at about 12:30. So I had a long layover before I was even on a plane. I walked around the aiport a lot and spent the last of my rand. The good thing was Swiss Airways had an "Early Check-in" so I was able to check in at like 4! Before that I had to lug all my bags around. So I got in with no money and I really wanted a coffee. So after nervous self debating I decided to whip my Guitar out and try to make some money. It was not promising for the first 30 minutes. I threw in a One Dollar bill and people got the idea. So they threw in some Rand some Euro's. Not much. Just tons of change. But I had just enough for a big coffee right before my flight. And that was good because I was planning on catching up on movies in the plane. And OHHHH did I. Pretty sure I watched 5 on the first plane. My favorite was "Time Travelers Wife" OH and there was this CRAZY lady that sat next to me! Before we even left the ground I knew her whole life story. One of those people that you meet and think "I should just keep quiet and not ask questions"

So I landed in Switzerland at about 6AM. Couldnt see any mountains which was a bummer. I had a 7 hour Layover in Zurich so I went into town. What I didnt consider was how cold it would be. Coming from a hot day in South Africa to a cold day in Switzerland is tough. And I was wearing sandals. So I found some plane sox in my backpack and threw them on. I must have looked like a ninja... or a fool. It was a VERY nice city. Lots of cool architecture. The first thing that caught my eye was "STARBUCKS"! So I went over thinking "I'll get a really good, sweet, chick Coffee. But I saw that the "Toffee Nut Latte" was about $9.50!... I'll take a small black coffee please. Even that was 4 bucks! I soon realized that EVERYTHING was expensive in this city. At the grocery store they wanted me to pay two bucks for a cart! I couldn't even find a free public bathroom (they wanted a dollar to use it!!). I was going to pee on a tree but I found McDonalds. Only problem was they had a keypad next to the bathroom door and they only give the code to customers. But luckily the girls bathroom door was broken. After returning to that ladies room 3 times I thought I should buy something. So I got a Croissant and it was actually REALLY good. I tried hard to find an Internet Cafe with computers but that wasnt promising. Most people these days have their own laptops. I also soon realized that Zurich was FULL of beautiful girls! Except they all wore high heels and smoked. NOT COOOOOL. I mean really I understand the smoking but HIGH HEELS??!! :-) My favorite part was seeing men in there 40's and 50's riding "Razor" scooters all over town. Most of the people I met were actually pretty snobby. Maybe its because I'm American. I think I heard people don't really like us. Very advanced city though. They had sensors on the escalators so they only came on when you stepped on it. I thought that was cool.

Well after my second long flight I landed and met my mom. Then we met my grandma at the restaurant. That was nice. Got home and my step dad had a hot bath waiting for me. That was nice too. I'm a blessed guy. I tried to get online but fell asleep w/ the laptop on my lap. So far today I am pretty awake. No jet lag. I'm cool like that.

Well now that I'm back I wont update my blog as often but you can check back here and there. I'll still update it. When I get my Music Site finished I'll use that blog instead.
