Leaving the US

Monday was a regular working day, besides that Viktor left the camp around noon and Peter was doing maintenance job as well. Also that was my last full working day, during the night we went for a last ride with the big van to the Walmart, to do our last shopping before leaving the camp.
On Tuesday I had to work only till lunch, afterwards my boss let me go to be prepared and packed for leaving. I've also got the caravan to get to the bank to close my account and get the money out of it. During the afternoon I did some last laundries and finished my packing, at aroun 6 PM, I got to the farmhouse, said goodbye to everyone and headed to Boston with Peter, and Micheal was driving, Peter went for a Red Sox game with Paul, and I got to the airport where I checked-in and went through the security check to wait for my flight, which was dealeyed and I had to wait 30 minutes more than expected. And when I arrived to Frankfurt we couldn't get to the terminal, because there was a security harassment, so waited more than 30 minutes outside of the terminal, when buses arrived to take us there, but they were doing some extra circles around the terminal till they finally drop us off. Then it was the time when my flight was about to departure to Billund and as I got to the gate it was gone already... So I've asked one of the stewardess what should I do, then 2 more person came up with the same problem. After some searching and waiting we got our new tickets for a later flight and also a 10 euro ticket to buy food for ourselves at the airport. So instead of having a rushing hour to catch the flight I had to wait about 4 hours for my connection flight to get to Denmark, finally. This plane was in a little late as well, however I still had to wait a little for my friend to pick me up at the airport, since he was expecting me to arrive on time in the afternoon, not at the evening. I got know my temprorary flatmate, we had some discussions and we all went sleep before midnight.
Since this story ended again, at least for a couple of months, you can follow my experiences, studying in Denmark: here.

2nd trip to Boston

This Friday all the kids gone from the camp and we had to make a big cleaning in all bathrooms to make them look nice for the next session. Afterwards we were chilling with the kitchen staff.
On Saturday all four of us from the maintenance team had a day off, so we prepared for Boston again to see it in a sunny day. WE were lucky and it was sunny all day, however the blue metro line was out of order, so we couldn't reach the beach we wanted to, but we still made a nice trip. First we went to Cambridge, the city of Unversities, and we spent some time on the different parts of Harvard, we visited the law school, the business school and also the sport centrers. After a long trip in Harvard, we had lunch in four burger's fast food restaurant and then decided to go the beach, where we couldn't, but instead we end up in a beautiful shore of the ocean, a harbor where we had a brilliant view of the city.

Day off in Boston

We woke up at normal time to have breakfast then in a few minutes we found out who will take us to the train station to get in Boston. However it was so rainy in the begining, we went in to Boston and started our tour in the city center. We went around and had some coffe/hot chocolate in a Dounkin' Doughnuts, which you can find in every corner.

We continued our walk in the city, it was still raining, we visited several shops and went around the place where the Boston tea party happend, we also found a Hungarian memorial about the 1956's revolution. Afterall we had some lunch in a mall at a chineese fast food restaurant. We also visited some parks and went out to the Red Socks Baseball team's stadion and suvenir shop, it was nice, but the prices were so high. Then we went in a bar and drank a beer as the finish of our day and headed back to the camp.
As you can see I had some spendings during the stay, so I started to make an excel about how much money I spent there: here it is.
