First weekend in Washington

A couple of weeks has gone by and so far I'm just loving everything.

As I mentioned in my previous post I spent my last week at a hostel. I had a wonderful time there and got to meet exciting youngsters from all over the world. But I early on realized that it wasn't a good choice for a long-term stay, since you don't sleep as good, and get your own private space. So I decided to go for my original plan and try to rent a room in an apartment or house.

During my first week in Washington the sun was shining every day and we had up to 25 C on a daily bases. So when my two new friends and colleagues from work asked me if I wanted to tag along and play some soccer with this "meet-up" group of 20-30 guys, it didn't take me long to decide.

My first weekend here was as great as any other day has been so far. Friday night I were having a couple of cold beers (ok, a six pack) and some really good laughs with the rest of the guests at the hostel.

Saturday morning I woke up early and went in to the town to purchase a pair of soccer shoes and a new phone, since the one I brought with me from Swe doesnt work over here. During my trip to town I also decided to get me something quick to eat, and soon realized that most people here dont know what lactose in-tolerance means (actually got a cheese burger suggested by a guy that told me that he absolutly knew what lactose intolerance is.

... Anyway, a few hours later I were back at the hostel and were making me ready to go and play soccer. I met up with my friends soon after that and realized that it was to hot outside to play in pants(!). We played for 2-3 hours, and it was fun, altough most guys didnt really know what team-play means, and the field wasnt in the best condition.


Saturday night it was party time. We are totaly eight persons at my office that are in my age, and we all met up at one of my colleauges apartment together with some other friends of theres. There we had a couple of drinks and good talks before we went clubbing. Unfortunatly I dont have any pictures from the night but I can tell you that we had a great time and the party continued all night long!

Anyway, now i have to go, hopefully I will find some time to make an entry from the weekend that just passed before the next weekend is upon us.

Later!
