Day 17
Account opening
January 3, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ -1 °C
Visited BOA to open an account for Enobong. Since we didn't book an appointment we were asked to wait till all those on appointment have been attended to. Thereafter we were ushered into one of the officer's office where a student checking and a savings account were opened for Enobong. They needed 2 government issued passports so I gave them her USA and Nigeria passports. Being a minor I was made a signatory to her savings account.

The entire bank visit took about an hour and I was able to transfer $400 from my account directly to Enobong's Savings account from which $200 was then transfred to her checking account. Her debit card is tied to her Checking account and the card will be sent to my friend's house in the next 5 days as I used his address as her contact address.Read more

Day 5
COVID-19 Vaccination & Booster
December 22, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 4 °C
Quite an eventful day. Went to Walmart Pharmacy for Enobong's COVID-19 vaccination which we had booked the previous day. I asked if I could take a booster shot and they agreed eventhough I hadn't booked. They requested for my insurance and I told them I am visiting and don't reside in America, they asked for proof of my previous 2 doses of the vaccine fortunately I had my Nigeria COVID-19 vaccination card with me, which they checked to confirm I could take a booster.

Strange thing I noticed was that after whipping the injection site clean with methylated spirit they applied a plaster to the site and inject through it. Never seen that done before.

After waiting the mandatory post injection 15mins we got a Lyft to Philadelphia airport to try and change Uddy's ticket. The nice lady at the counter said they don't ammend tickets at the check in counter and this can only be done by calling reservation. So I called United Airlines reservation line after several attempts an agent attended to me and after spending an hour on the line with several holds she was able to return the funds to the original ticket and instructed I contact the original booking agent to rebook the ticket.Read more

Day 9
Tour of Jefferson University
December 26, 2021 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C
Visited Enobong's new school, Jefferson University this afternoon with Enobong and Uddy. The campus is quite large and spread out. We were able to identify her faculty and residence along with other key buildings in the university. Spent about an hour walking around the campus. School was currently not in session so we had the freedom and space to walk around without bumping into other people. Took a ton of pics.Read more

Day 23
Enobong checks into Jefferson's
January 9, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 3 °C
Got to the school roughly about 13:40, located the building she would be staying in temporarily. The international students coordinator was already waiting for us in the house her room is located in.

It is a typical town house with a palour and kitchen on the ground floor. A bathroom/toilet and 3 rooms on the 1st floor and finally 2 rooms on the 2nd floor.

Her room is quite small and had a bed, reading table, a chest of drawers and a wardrobe. This is where she would be staying for the next 10days before relocating to the new students residence.

Shortly after we dashed off to King of Prussia to buy some items before returning to Jefferson to drop her off.

Stopped at an Amazon locker hub to pick up a package and buy bread and some food for the houseRead more

At Jefferson's
January 11, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ -4 °C
Drove to Jefferson East Fall, hoping to visit the bookstore and get a branded lanyard as the navigator in the car couldn't locate the main campus bookstore in town but alas the bookstore had been closed due to a covid incidence.

Spent some time with Enobong in her room before heading off to Five Below store, from there we headed off to my friend's place for a lovely Chinese dinner. Left a few minutes after 7, dropped Enobong off in school and headed back to the apartment.Read more

Heute gibt's wieder nur ein paar Bilder, weil irgendwie nicht so viel spannendes passiert...

Wir arbeiten und manchmal machen wir abends was :) Am Mittwoch waren wir in der Stadt bei Sips (Happy Hour), danach in der Cheesecake Factory und beim Karaoke. Gestern haben wir uns einen WG-Abend gemacht und gekocht und nur gechillt. Und heute waren wir nachmittags spazieren und kochen jetzt alle zusammen bei uns. Ursprünglich war der Plan noch feiern zu gehen, aber mal sehen, ob wir uns noch aufraffen können ^^

Fun Fact: Die German Society of Pennsylvania ist 12 Jahre älter als die USA :)Read more

Emmit joined Noel, Tim, and Josie for a visit to Villanova to start the day garnering a compliment from a parent- wow, such initiative for a sophomore! Villanova boasts easy access to both Phl and NYC while maintaining a quiet feel. Top notch accommodations for students, Villanova preached- veritas, caritas, unitas. It was a sad goodbye to the Donovans as the Marsho 5 made their way to Princeton. Another sloppy, wet tour couldn’t dampen our excitement. America’s 4th oldest university boasts classic campus architecture and style with BIG amenities and an alumni network second to none. Next we made our way to the Big Apple. Stressful driving made worse by even more rain. We found our hotel and tucked our car in parking for a few days. Noel found the perfect pizza place for our palates, Siena.Read more

We went to see Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen star in 'Waiting for Godot' at the Malvern Theatre, we actually saw McKellen checking his lines and sneaking a fag when passing the theatre on the day before.

We took the opportunity to go walking in the hills, passing the Worcestershire Beacon.Read more

Day 103
Geburtstag und Thanksgiving
November 26, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
Diese Woche war eine besondere Woche. Zum einen habe ich meinen 25. Geburtstag gefeiert und zum anderen ein echtes Thanksgiving in einer amerikanischen Familie erlebt.

Am Dienstagabend war ich mit fünf deutschen und drei amerikanischen Freunden in einem Restaurant in Chinatown - Nine Ting. Dort kann man zwischen Korean Barbecue oder Hot Pot wählen und verschiedene Fleischsorten, Meeresfrüchte und Gemüse bestellen und das Ganze dann selber am Tisch zubereiten. War sehr lecker, allerdings haben wir alle total nach Essen gerochen, weil alles so verqualmt war von unserem Gegrille :D

Danach sind wir in eine Karaokebar, wo ich dann ein privates Geburtstagsständchen bekommen hab und wir bis zum Schluss waren (in Philadelphia machen ja alle Bars schon um 2 Uhr zu, also war das nicht allzu lang).

Der Geburtstagsmorgen bestand dann hauptsächlich aus Telefonaten und Nachrichten lesen.
Gegen Nachmittag sind wir dann zu Lauren gefahren, wo ich gleich ihre Eltern und Geschwister und ihren Freund und ihr Hausschwein kennengelernt hab. Alle sind total nett und das Haus ist atemberaubend - ich hab mich sofort wohlgefühlt. Lauren schläft wegen mir extra im Keller, damit ich in ihrem Zimmer schlafen kann.

Wir haben dann gegessen und ihrer Mama noch bei den Essensvorbereitungen für Thanksgiving geholfen. Und dann todmüde ins Bett gefallen, weil die vorherige Nacht ja eher heftig war ^^

Am Donnerstagmorgen bin ich dann mit Lauren nach New Jersey gefahren, um ihre Oma abzuholen.
Wieder zuhause gab es dann auch den berühmt berüchtigten Vogel und leckere Beilagen. Leider hatte sich Lauren's Mutter über Nacht einen Magen-Darm-Virus eingefangen und konnte so gar nichts von ihren eigenen Köstlichkeiten essen :(
Das Beste für mich war der Nachtisch - apple und pumpkin pie mit Vanilleeis und Sahne 💗

Nach dem Essen haben wir noch ein Feuer auf der Terrasse gemacht (das hat Lauren und mich über eine Stunde gekostet, aber schließlich hatten wir ein hübsches Feuer) und hot apple cider getrunken und ewig gequatscht.

Morgen (am Freitag) ist dann Black Friday, eine einzige große Rabattschlacht bei der die Menschen teilweise nachts aufstehen, um als erste im Laden zu sein... Wir werden gegen Nachmittag in die zweitgrößte Shoppingmall der USA in King of Prussia fahren und mal schauen, was die anderen übrig gelassen haben :)
Danach fahre ich zurück nach Philadelphia.

Fazit: Eine wunderschöne Geburtstagsfeier dieses Jahr und viel leckeres Essen. Außerdem habe ich es sehr genossen, dass ich richtiges amerikanisches Familienleben kennenlernen durfte.
