First days in the US

Here I am in the US!! I am somewhere near Boston waiting for dinner :) and later we are going to a camp for lifeguarding training.
I have just the best first impressions. As soon as I left Prague, I felt great - flying far far away to the unknown world, looking for new adventures. Even the trip in the plane was exciting. As we landed in New York I saw the skyscrapers townline and it was just beautiful.
New York is awesome... I didnt have much time to go out, but I was on the Broadway street, was ripped off by a taxi driver and was walking on the streets and looking high up on the skyscrapers. Its really a city that never sleeps.
Whats also funny is how all the people speak English ;) I know it sounds strange, but I am used to people using English only as a communication language. They normally have another native language... but here... they just speak English - so noone turns to his friend and says something you dont understand...
Well, thats about all that I can say right now. Ofcourse I slept for the past 2 days for only about 4 hours, my back hurts from carrying all my luggage around, but so far I am really happy that I did this.
