Scattered one

It wasn't as much of a cultural shock to come to America as to leave. My feet started sweating (I didn't know I had such a natural reaction to British accent) while talking about wine with a stewardess – seriously, are you all going to talk like that from now on? The strangest feeling, especially when the wine is described as 'a fun and fruity white wine with plenty of refreshing peach and apple flavours, lifted by a lovely acidity on the finish'. I know (I do know) not every English person is as pretentious as he/she sounds, but now I understand what Cecily meant, one year ago, talking about some lectures or workshops with English students/writers/I forget – they all seemed so intelligent:)
After the whole US trip I guess I see where Mona was coming from claiming some Americans are crazy. I always thought all the people tend to be crazy in all the countries – but there is a difference, just hard to describe. Maybe being so big and seeing so many opportunities makes one feel like one can actually achieve a thing or two even being irrational, illogical, sometimes untalented – because all the people you see on TV are nothing but that. Dave and John mentioned before going to the US – there is no objective news. And then guns, wars and being categorical about topics one is unfamilliar with.
It's a second night in a row without sleep. We started travelling to NY yesterday from Pittsburgh and Greyhound instead of giving us what we bought (an 8 hours trip straight to NY without any transfers) pleased us with 14 hours trip, three buses, waiting for each for a couple of hours and then being mistreated by the staff, especially by the ones who have a little bit more rights and powers than the others. We watched some 4 am news on TV in Baltimore while waiting for a bus to Philadelphia. So now Arnold Schwarzenegger is accused to be the father of his maid's child. I watched only one programme and to be honest Arnold's personal life is way less important to me than a milk shake and I won't investigate the situation, but the news was based on three photographs of this maid taken years ago – look, that's her three years before she gave birth to her child, that's a photograph of the document proving the father of the child is her husband, and here she is – one year before the child's birth – in a cheeky halloweene costume, and here's she pregnant. So, the journalist asked, how these news are going to influence Mr. Schwarzenegger's career?
A?
Whatever. Maybe there's only one silly show. The other news actually talk about fluids and weather, so it's all serious and actual.
But the only local newspaper I found in a gas station in Big Bend national park comes out once a month and talks mostly about country music gatherings.
The USA is the most beautiful country I've ever seen.
