Newark, New Jersey Airport

Helloo New Jersey, where nothing is free and everyone is in a hurry.

Our flight to Delhi (I lied- we aren't going from NJ to Mumbai, we're going to Delhi) dosen't leave until 8-ish. Event though I probably won't get to post this for a while because the Newark airpost charges for their Wi-Fi. It is now 6:29, by the way.

So, Ms. Huertero, I did get to practice my Spanish after all. There is an international rescue group from Spain in the gate beside us going to help Hati recover from the recent earthquake. They have golden retriever rescue dogs with them. my mother and I went over and petted the dogs and I tried to talk to the rescue team in Spanish. I'm pretty sure that the guy I was speaking to was making a great effort not to laugh at my attemps, though. I eventually gave up and (surprise surprise) he knew better english than I knew Spanish.

We just finished our supper- Japanese vegetables and rice from a Saku down the hall (or whatever you call the walkway of an airport). My father had shrimp with wasabi. I refrained from the sushi, and politely declined when he offered me some.

We just met this amazing guy from India (he works for Continental airways). He speaks 7 languages. I'm not sure of the others but I know for a fact that he speaks English and Hindi. The other employees of Continental were very glad he could speak Hindi when we were boarding. There were (obviously) a bunch of people from India on our flight and some spoke english, some did not.

Well, I'm on the plane now, and they have a pretty neat movie system. So, I think I'm going to watch some movies and then get some rest.



Goodbye, USA!
