USA part 2
Hey,
To continue my US trip blog entry, I will go on about Georgia, Atlanta today.
We stayed with bro Joe and sis Lynn Black. They are in their late 50s I supposed, with 3 adult sons and an adult daughter. I’ve only met two of their sons, Joe jr. (around 30) and Rob (23). The other son is in Austin, Texas while the daughter Anna is in Annaheim, California for full time training.
Joe and Lynn are the loveliest people! So friendly and kind and hospitable. Lynn is especially cute! I love the way she talks! It’s very sweet! She was caught by my sister saying ‘You know… I don’t know!!’ and my sis was saying ‘What in the world do you mean you know I don’t know’. We were also kinda mimicking the whole southern talk and accent thing, especially with ‘y’all’. Hahaha…
Basically, we went to Georgia to visit Georgia State University and Georgia Institute of Technology. We also went to Athens with Bro Joe to visit University of Georgia in Athens. The campuses were so-so for me, though I do like Georgia Tech very much. Georgia State is in the downtown area so there’s all kinds of funny characters there which makes me feel quite uncomfortable. There was this car with the number plate ‘WHATEVA’ and as we drove by I checked to see who drove such a car. And as expected, it was this Afro-American girl yakking away with attitude on her cellphone while driving. haha… that was interesting for me to see. That reminds me, in University of Texas, this big white car drove by and the windows were down. We heard all that rap music and the guys, OMG, big black guys with big white t-shirts and the bling and everything. Kinda reminded me of GTA’s gangsters. Yes, US is funny like that…
Other than the university visits, we also went to meet with the saints. Attended one home meeting (and this Laos brother had a very very very gorgeous home!) and a few meetings at the meeting hall. The saints were so welcoming and helpful and lovely. We met this girl, E, who surprisingly watched the same Korean dramas as my sis and I, listen to the same Korean band we used to listen to (TVXQ) and even knows a fair bit of Korean and Chinese. Very impressive for an all American girl who’s never lived in Asia.
Anyway I have no time to continue now, very sorry. But basically that’s it. Difficulty uploading pics so I’ve given up.
