Sleeping arrangement, done

I have booked our hostel from the day we arrive in San Francisco til the day of the wedding. This is good. We will stay in a hostel a block or two from China Town.

We have no idea where we will stay after the wedding as of yet, but that we can arrange while there. This is because I want to see more of California when I'm in the area. And also because I hope to visit a site that will be useful in my Master Thesis.

These two are the reason for our trip across the ocean.

Hotels

I've been trying to find a decent looking hotel in San Francisco for a reasonable amout of money. It turns out that living while away is really expensive. Why is that?

I did find a nice hotel that is in central SF, that I will try to book for the first four days at least. After the wedding I don't know where we are going to be so at that point we need a new hotel and a car so we can se some other parts of California.

Something personal

I got a company to use for my Master Thesis. Now I have about 5 months to finish it. It's gonna be a lot of fun and hopefully I can get a job there afterwards.

Nothing new to report...

There is nothing new to report really, except that our flights keep changing times. Not much but in the last two weeks there have been small changes on two of our flight... I don't get this at all.

Well I have been looking for things to do while being in SF. We will try to se Alcatraz but is there anything else important? And see a Giants game.

Super Bowl XLI

We had a few friends over last night and watched the game. Too bad Chicago lost, but they where not playing their best. For snacks there was buffalo wings and chips and we had Bud to drink... Nothing you do every Sunday night.

All of us had a great time and we might have to do this again in three weeks when the Oscars is on.

Super Bowl

In our efforts to peeper us for our journey, and because we don't think you have to sleep at night, we are going to watch Super Bowl, the biggest sport event in the US. We have invited some of our friends that also think that sleep is overestimate and with help of a lot of the typical American beer Bud it's hopefully going to be fun.
This year the Chicago Bears are going to try to defeat the Indianapolis Colts. So of cause if I have to pick one team it's going to be the Chicago Bears, the home town of Mikael's American family. I also read that Prince is going to sing at the halftime entertainment...yeay...that´s going to be...did I mention that we're gonna have beer? Or something very close anyway...
I have never seen a game of American football and I´m not completely sure how the game works, but Mikael has promise to explain the rules to me. I know the basics; get the ball to the opponent's "goal area"and most of the time they trow it but sometimes they kick it. Sadly it's not going to be football season when we visit the US, it would have been fun to watch a game, but we're going to try to watch a baseball game instead, an other big American sport.

And how did it really begin?

So why are we going to San Francisco? *humming the famous song* It began this fall when we got the invitation to Andy and Jess´s wedding.
And who are Andy and Jess? When Mikael was 17 years old he was an exchange student at Main South High School in Chicago and lived with Andy's family. So Andy, Shannon, Rob and Marge is Mikael's American family. This also explains why we're writing this blog in English. This is going to be a very interesting experience for me, because I haven't written anything in English since High school. I hope that my new American family will understand me anyway.
