Japan After all I am, almost unexpectedly, on the other side of the planet, in Washington, not far from the White House and Mr. Obama .
me if someone had predicted three months ago, I would have laughed at you. But tan'รจ: Life is full of surprises and this time he has had several ups and downs.
I left Rome to Fiumicino led by a friendly trucker and former lover of our romanissimo fil'e ferru , with whom I shared a bit 'of coffee and a chat before you reach the Terminal 5 of 'airport. I will not elaborate too much on the oddities of the departures of flights to America, but the fact that it requires, a terminal block already, take another shuttle to reach the satellite that houses the U.S. companies has attracted more of a concern, as in some overseas passengers.
The flight was quiet: I arrived in Washington with a slight delay, after about 10 hours and 45 minutes flight.
controls are finicky at the village but not obsessive as they say. It 's true: take biometric data (fingerprints and iris scans), but the process is very fast and effeciente.
For now I can not say much more, if you do not remember my fellow flight, the friendly fireman Scott from Colorado , back from a binge of monuments and Florentine wine from Tuscany Rome. And that first impression, this city is very clean, well organized, but it seems all a huge edge. However, as Athens has taught me, first impressions are often misleading. I got a burrito at a local classic American by the name "Austin Grill."
Yesterday was the day of the Acknowledgments, but here it is already full of Christmas decorations, notably by thousands of tiny fairy lights wrapped around the trunk of the trees.
Tomorrow, maybe, I'll say something more. A race to SevenEleven (here in the U.S. seems little "Konbini" given how much I have to pay the two things I picked up) and then here to write this first post as a bit 'of sleep after a day of 21 hours straight, begins to be felt.
Goodnight Washington, welcome into my life ^ ^
