Saturday 3rd November
Day 51 - Atlanta Day 1

(atlanta: random shots)

Ok arrived at JFK airport, NYC at 11pm 2nd november. had to hang out till 6am to catch the flight to atlanta. i was too cheap to check into a hotel so i decided to hang till 6. If anyone decided to do that in the near future, go to terminal 4. thats the only terminal that opens 24 hours. ppl were sleeping there so comfortably in their sleeping bag. i felt so jealous. all i did was sat there watch.

in the morning there was this big confusion with delta airlines, i literally yell at 5 people there and they had to re-route my trip to DC and before getting me to Atlanta. NEVER EVER FLY WIT DELTA EVER !!! i was supposed to arrive at atlanta at 8.20, instead, i arrived at 11.30 and my luggage did not arrive till 1.30pm. what a pain. AGAIN ... NEVER EVER FLY WIT DELTA EVER !

Welcome to atlanta. OMFG everyone the is FUCKING HUGE !!!! like FAT HUGE !!!. not a single skinny person in sight and i m not fucking kidding. everyone there is FAT and UGLY ! gawd as i walked around, i felt like a supermodel.

Got toby to take me to a diner straight away. i finally got my dose of CRISPY BACON in a classic american diner. mmmm yummy. also as grits. some kinda of corn thing that taste exactly like congee. then the people who worked there are exactly like how jewel described in her song, stephanville,tx.

"housewives, recapturing their youth by wearing floral print and suede,
fixing their hairdos, with pcs, chemical free hairsprays, martha steward taught them to make on t.v. ...."

one thing jewel forgot to mention in her song is ... FAT housewives. these middle aged woman with heavy makeup and funny hairdos, often grumpy serving you. very entertaining. oh yeah. hahaha.

NOTE: Americans has no chicken salt. AND THEY FUCKING HAVE NO CHICKEN FLAVORED CHIPS !!! THEY DONT HAVE TWISTIES !!!!!

Highlight of the day: CRISPY BACON at a diner !


Sunday 4th November
Day 52 - Atlanta Day 2
Didn't get to much, more because there was not much to get to. Toby took me to see the stone mountain, which was literally a large piece of granite rock. anyway, there is this theme park below the rock. and there is this guy who is a sweeper. with that job u would think he gets loads of exercise walking around the park, sweeping. but he weights at least 380 pounds. go figure !
apart from that i tried meatloaf. i remember watching my fav classic american sitcoms - roseanne and often i saw them eating crispy bacons and meatloafs, finally got to try it myself. living on american diet.
Got drove around and i was amazed that fast food chains were everywhere. there were this long stretch of street with huge fast food chains one after another ... mcdonalds, dunkin donuts, kfc, burger king, wendys, crispe kreme ..... and the list goes on. what a shocker. if only they have crispy bacon in everyone of them ...
what else did i do ? nothing. cause there is really nothing to do. haha

Thursday 8th November
Day 56 - Atlanta Day 6

(atlanta: inine + pat monahan)

decided not to give up and went out exploring again. went to a huge mall. it has nothing but FAT UGLY people.

had the best night tonight. went to watch pat monahan (lead singer of Train) at the Variety playhouse. AWESOME performance ! Even the supporting act was FANTASTIC. they are called ININE. I am a total fan now. its great to finally see great cheap pop live music which u dont get in sydney. and you know whats great about the gigs ? its great to see some non fat people for a change. no seriously !
what i dont understand is that everyone is so anti pop in sydney and all the indie bands want to make it big but wouldnt go pop. go figure. good night to end my 25th birthday. yay !

Got toby to take me to a diner after the show and i had pancakes with CRISPY BACON !!! woo hoo.

The gig saved atlanta eventhough i thought i stayed here 6 days too long.

NEXT STOP: NYC !!!

In summary: DON'T GO TO ATLANTA ! DON'T FLY DELTA !
