iltat Mega Fish Posts: 1076 Kudos: 1216 Votes: 0 Registered: 14-Oct-2002	Whetu has arrived safe and sound here in Lubbock, and we've been having a great time learning the differences between cultures! The phone call I received this morning from Whataburger: Cashier's Voice: Uh...you have a...uh...friend here...? Me: Yeah... Cashier's Voice: She...uh...thinks you're gonna...uh...meet her...? Me: Yeah, tell her I'll be right there! Cashier's Voice: Uh...okay... She'll post on here in just a bit, just wanted to let everyone know! PM/email/msg me if you have any questions/comments regarding me or my knowledge or if you want me to read a thread.

Texas so far is very flat, very hot and very smelly They keep their cattle in little enclosures on the side of the road. Man, do those things stink! Billy and Jeremy are both Southern Gentlemen. Who said chivalry was dead? I arrived here on Sunday morning and by midnight that night we had gone to IHOP and had pancakes for breakfast, thoroughly toured the biggest department store I had ever seen (where Billy bought every sugar-based food ever invented, but also bought me some fruit and veges), went 10-pin bowling, played pool and watched a DVD of some Texan comedians. I also got to meet some of their friends and of course all Billy's fish! The journey was awesome, my hosts are charming and I'm having a whale of a time. I just wish there was a little more water and a little less heat in this place! Oh yeah, I'm in the middle of a desert... I forgot...
