I'm afraid of America.
I'm afraid that the country will change me. They got a new religion here and its god is Franklin. I can't say I'm surprised coz one of the reasons I came here was to make money, but it's more than that. When I worked in Boston at the mall, some guy dropped his wallet. I stopped him and gave him his money back. a man passed by and nodded his head on me, giving me the look of "you're crazy, man". The guy with the money was so grateful that he wanted to give me 20$. On my way back to D.C from Boston I took the metro. There was an old lady, tryin' to carry her bags down the escalator. I grabbed her cases and took it downstairs and waited for her. She came amazed, as the people around her, smiling and thanking me like it was the first time in her 70 years of living that something like that happens to her, and saying: "thank god America has tourists".
Boston
I took a flight to Boston, landed at the airport where Eldar's (my cousin) employee, Guy, picked me up to Eldar's place. I got there, met Sabrina (Eldar's wife), and studied the work. The day after I was at the mall, tryin' to sell hair straighters I had no clue about. Since I learned the basic rule of the job, I started to sell. The rule was: Hit on every girl you see. It was like being in a club for twelve hours. Along the time I became really good with the straightens and did the hair of dozens girls a day, all ages, all sizes, all colors. I even once did the hair of an eighteen years old California model. Of course she knew that a top hair styler from Spain is messin' up with her hair :) All the other workers at the company were girls from all over the world: Hila, Nofar & Hadass (Israel), Laura, Isabel (France), Ariel, Kim (USA) & Nikki (Japan).
Since I don't wanna stay here for too long, and I don't have the time to learn a new job, I was looking for a job with a safe income. That's how I started to sell motion pictures. A really Corny item that only the shopping obsessed Americans will buy. I get 25% of the sales and a minimum of 500$ a week.
Maryland
These days I live somewhere between Baltimore & D.C, sharing an apartment with three other guys. Avi from Israel, Chris & Gabe from Chicago. Ever since I've been here, me and my Americans friends are going out every night. We went downtown to Georgetown. That's a neat long avenue full of bars and clubs. The weird thing about US nightlife is the bars & clubs close very early. I found it out when I was dancing with sabrina in a Boston club, and all of a sudden the lights turned on, and the music changed. The party was alive and the place was packed. It was only 2am. After I spent almost 70$ at the bars of D.C and Baltimore, we were looking for a cheap drinks place. That's how we got to a students place in College Park. The funny thing was that I've been there before with my American ex-girlfriend and now I'm with my new American friends.
Back to work. At First I was satisfied with the pictures coz I saw people checking them out. Than I noticed they were mostly girls, and then I found they were checking me out. Horny American girls...
Right now I'm at the mall and two boys and two girls entered a furniture store and sat on a sofa infront the showcase window. They were sitting on a sofa in a weird kindda way, frozen. a group of people gathered around them when they sharply moved. The people were scared to death and then they couldn't stop laughing.
Americans may be stupid, but they are sure fun.
New Orleans, South America
Soon my friends...
