4 Day trip to Vegas

So many things to do while here. I'm not a big gambler but I've been able to find plenty other things to do. Grand Canyon is the first and foremost thing I want to see along with the Hoover Damn. The strip of course. A mob tour of Vegas that gives you a bit of history on how Vegas became the...

Power to the Peaceful Festival

I went here last year and just loved what this city has to offer but this time I'm going just to see the one day music festival that Michael Franti puts on every year. Last year alone 70,000 people people showed up for this free concert. http://www.powertothepeaceful.org/index.php

The Mythbusters

I have the impression that quite a lot of people, including me, who have never been to the US consider the country through several lenses: the politics, the friends and the popular culture. No doubt that the pop culture stereotypes are largely shaped by the movies - there is actually a great...

New York, New York

We sailed up the New Jersey Coast and into New York. Very Busy harbour with barges, ferries and tripper boats. We saw this famous lady too. We visited Ellis island, the immigration centre for NY for many years. Lots of interesting history and stylish architecture. After 2 days we had...

...and so it concludes.

I’ve been back home for about a day now. Yesterday I was saddened to have to say goodbye to Dublin, yet at the same time I was excited to say hello to Chicago… and more importantly to my friends and family! It’s weird to sit here in my bedroom in the States when just yesterday I was sitting in...

Learn to give up

There is a young, versatile, but studies have not been much progress. So, he went to a Zen master to his request a way. The Zen master to see him and did not say anything other than the first call on him to eat a big meal. Zen master told the person on the table filled with hundreds of...

Walkin'

Walking is said to be a great way of exploring New York. You tend to miss out a lot on the subway, the car forces you to focus on the road and even the bus passes the variety of people and landmarks too quickly to capture it all. For me the reason was more pragmatic: busses from West New York to...

El Kiosko Discount

The first full day in the States is over. It was probably the first time in my life that I felt like a true early bird - after I couldn't sleep since 3am, I was up and running at 6.30. I even did something productive and searched & booked my flight to San Francisco in the beginning of the next...

The trip & first impressions

Here I am! The trip is (finally) over. It's after 10PM in New York and I am a good boy who will be in bed by 11. The trip started at 7AM in Poland. Driving to Warsaw was OK, traffic was bearable. The new airport terminal does not look impressive before the security check, but it's get better...
