It's official: I am coming to US, regardless of being accepted or not to my school.

[tom_mai78101]

The flight to Boston has been booked, and I will be leaving Taiwan on July 21st.

Unfortunately, I will be taking United Airlines, for its cheap economic seats.

I grow wary of my travels, now that I am flying for a total of 21 hours of air time, and I might die of airline crash or something serious.

I am starting to pack my stuffs. If you have anything to tell me what I need to be aware of, please tell me as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance.

Boston is cool. Real Historic. Stop by the Cheers bar if you get a chance. Likely you will have no problems Tom. The US is traveler friendly just stay away from shady characters. Nobody is going to come up and try to help you unless they are trying to scam you most likely.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Where is the Cheers bar? Sounds like it is further away from the airport.

What about the TSA and all that bad jazz? Especially since I will be bring a smartphone and my Nintendo 3DS with me, I am afraid of getting myself into situations that I won't be able to fix by myself.


Forgot to post my flight info here, in case I actually die.

Take lots of guns, murica's a dangerous place.

 

[tom_mai78101]

Probably gonna get myself a gun permit if I can handle the risks involved. But, that would be for another day.

Oh dear ^
Anyway, If you don't even know you will be accepted.. Why moving now ?
Where will you get the "Money for living?"

This is why I hate myself for it.

Plan A: Get accepted. By sheer luck.
Plan B: Get rejected. Apply for their undergraduate courses.
Plan C: Get rejected. Reapply for 2015 Spring semester.
Plan D: Get rejected. Start looking for part-time to full-time jobs.
Plan E: Get rejected. Return to Taiwan, waste a good hefty amount of cash for flying back and forth, and get shamed on for returning empty-handed.

That last one sounds funny. I say go for it.

You will regret it.

 

[FireCat]

You take a big risk when nothing is certain ! Tom
But, hopefully you will be accepted, Well, good luck, you'll need it. !

 

[tom_mai78101]

You will regret it.

Regretting already, way before the ticket was booked.

Actually, I just want to escape the family feud that is happening right now. I don't want to be a part of it.

Is one half China rule zealots and the other half Taiwanese freedom fighters?

 

[Accname]

No, but his sister fell in love with a member of their rivaling family.

Now I feel as if I'm missing out on a reference here.

Edit: Holy Shit, that image I uploaded is big.

Boston smells like pee.

 

[tom_mai78101]

I

Boston smells like pee.

Just embracing the fragrance upon stepping out of the airport. Then driving out of Boston.

Don't worry, even if you'll go back "empty handed" it will be an awesome experience.

 

[tom_mai78101]

That's really assuring, Jonas.

Phone freaked out in the last post, so ignore it.

Are you coming over forever? If you are you better come to Houston if you are looking for an IT job and if you want to stay I have some guys who could get you a work visa

 

[Varine]

There is no hope. Only despair.
