Finally got there in the end!

Our flight was delayed by two hours from HK to Chicago because of the typhoons around Taiwan and so they had to kick off 50 odd passangers in exchange for fuel to fly a longer route. I made it to Chicago in the end after 14-15 hours of flying and then got held up at immigration as usual for another 2 hours probably because they thought I was a terrorist, do I look like one? which means I only had 1 hour left to get my bags and re-check them in to make my flight from Chicago to Wichita. There was a lot of running and rushing about involved, trust me. Luckily they delayed the boarding time by 30 mins so I managed to get there on time, however that wasn't the end of it, once everybody boarded the plane and was ready to fly there was a problem... there was nobody there to fly the damn thing! We all ended up waiting for another hour before finally arriving in Wichita at almost 12am.

The president (of the Malaysian society) was there to meet me and take me to the student housing which was nice of them, he got me settled in and took me and his mates to IHOP (International House of Pancakes) at 2am. The place is open 24 hours and it's the american's version of mamak, for those of you who don't know, here's a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mamak_stall. If you're all wondering where are the pictures, sorry I didnt take any as I was busy rushing at the airports and too tired to remember whilst eating pancakes at 2 in the morning :) I did manage to take pictures of my room today though.



The weather here is amazing too it's probably as hot as Malaysia at around 30+ degrees celcius and will last for a couple of months according to the other students.

Anyways its dinner time which means more burger and chips! great...
