Future USA Trip

There's barely 3 days left to go to USA, so I don't think I'm gonna be publishing a lot this days. Although I'm not that sure, maybe, in those times while I'm traveling with the car or the bus, I might feel like writing, and later on publish it, maybe with some photos too.

I'll now sum up a bit the idea of the travel, and tell adventures some other time. To begin with, we are going to Boston, MA via Madrid. There we'll pick up a rented car (one of those Toyotas that suffered the gas pedal problem xD) to go to the small town of South Royalton, VT. We'll spend 4 days there, first one being the day we arrive, two other that we will use to know the surroundings and the last one to leave back to Boston. Unluckily we will be unable to visit Canada, although I was hoping I could play some Curling...

Back in Boston we'll leave the car and take a Bus from the Fungh Chung Wa enterprise, or something similar... It's a Chinese bus company that goes from Boston (and other cities) to ChinaTown in NY for 15$. As our hotel is in the same 'hood it's quite the best option for us (I've been already learning some basic stuff to say in Chinese :P). Once there, we will get set up in the hotel and go walking somewhere, and so it'll be the rest of the trip. Walking around Manhattan non-stop. For the time being I'm reading a guide to NYC, so I know most of the things that we should be seeing between other tips. But obviously we'll see the most touristy places. And let's see if we are lucky and we can get up the Statue of Liberty, that as I discovered recently, only 10 persons can go up the more than 300 steps at the same time to watch from the crown. And for doing that, you need to reserve the tickets through the internet the same day you go.

But anyway, I'll tell more things once they happen. And I'll post photos of course :D

See you soon!

My blog ain't dead yet

It's been more than a year since I wrote in my blog, but if you're reading this, you mostly don't care, as I wrote in Spanish before. It's been a long year and many things have happened, I'm not here to sum them up, I've come to start over again.

For a long time I've been thinking what should I do with my blog, since I came back to Spain from my Erasmus year I haven't been feeling like writing much. Finally, I've put myself to write again, but I won't say how often will I do it, it'll be most probably irregular, but I prefer to write interesting stuff than just stupid things to fill the blog.

But mostly two reasons have pushed me to write again. First, I got an N900 from Nokia with Maemo in Maemo Barcelona-Long-Weekend and I've been testing an app to write in blogs (called MaStory, really cool). Actually, even though the phone is pretty expensive, I wouldn't doubt to buy it if I had none. It's plainly the best phone experience I've ever had, closer to a netbook than a phone actually. I haven't tested the NexusOne, but as far as I know, the N900 is the best out there.

Second reason, this blog was created to narrate my adventures around the world, and I'm travelling in less than a month. I'm gonna go to USA to visit a friend and I'll use the blog to tell stuff about the trip and upload photos. I'll tell more in the upcoming days.

Well, that's mostly what I wanted to say, I don't know how many people out there might be interested in having the blog in English, so please say some words if you want me to keep writing with both languages. Consider it will be a bigger effort for me, as I manually translate the posts, so if I don't see interest in the English version I'll stop writing in it. Also, I'd appreciate a bit of info on what you might prefer reading, it could be about the books I've read and I feel I should tell the world, TV-shows, technology (N900, FreeRunner, Hanlin e-reader...), continue with Finish stuff... I'll be writing what I feel I've gotta write, but your opinion is important for me and it might push me as well to write about something else.

PS: I forgot to mention that I'm using Twitter and you might as well follow me to keep up with stuff I do, anyway I mostly use it to keep in contact with people.
