UPDATE

The whole point of creating this blog was to try and blog about my new life away from home but i guess i am not very good at keeping it up to date.. so i have decided that i will do a quick update on what my adventure in the USA has been like.

My 4 days in NYC that turned out to be 5

I arrived in New York City on Monday morning on Sept 9th after 18 hours of traveling from CPT to NYC. The four of us were collected from the airport and taken to the Double Tree Hilton Hotel. We were one of the first groups to arrive at orientation so we were treated to a breakfast buffet and we attended an arrival meeting where we received our information and what rooms we will be in. Yes all of us south Africans were split up into different rooms because we were all going to depart to different states after orientation. Any way we chilled most of the time, found a cute typical american diner across from the hotel and we had fountain sodas there. Which was great.

What Orientation Included:

• Long hours of lectures
• Food Buffets for breakfast, lunch supper
• explaining to people that lions do not walk around in South Africa
• There are white people in south Africa
• we have cars, clothes, stores and don't ride on elephants, wear rags and hunt for food.
• NEW YORK CITY TOUR
• getting stuck at grand central station because nobody wanted to pick us up after our solo mission to the city, so we walked from Tarrytown back to the hotel just after midnight. what a story! but great memories.
• making friends from all of the world

Places we saw and things we got up to

• Times Square
• Radio City
• Top of The Rock
• Central Park
• Trump Towers
• Greenwich Village
• shopping at forever 21 and in times square
• walking endlessly
• got matching hoodies and wishbone necklaces
