Apologies... + Saturday

Sorry guys! I've had a bit of a problem with Google, which did not accept the fact, that I was(am) in USA, it kept claiming that somebody else was trying to login to my account. Plus, I haven't had my computer, because I couldn't figure out how my adapter was supposed to work. So anyway! I am starting almost from the beginning, so we landed in San Francisco at about 5 PM last friday. It took us about two hours to get through immigration, and then we were supposed to get picked up by a bus. The bus just didn't feel like showing up before 8 or 9 I think. So we arrived at Adelaide Hostel at 10 PM, and we were SO tired(at least I was). So we went to sleep. The next day, we started with a lecture from Macmood about a bit of America's history(and his own). It was actually pretty exciting. Afterwards, we finally figured out, that we were in San Francisco. So I went jumping up and down and took pictures of everything like a real tourist! We walked over to Union Square, where we had an hour to find some food before being picked up by the MAGIC BUS! So I went with Cecilie down a road, and we found a mall. A really big mall, but we couldn't find any food in there, so instead we found a Subway on the way back.
Then we took the Magic Bus around town. I'm going to upload a lot of photos from that trip later on - but for now, you'll have to live with my descriptions. :) To understand the feeling in the bus, you might want to put this song on while reading the description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvqoxWwplFg
The bus was painted in every colour imagineable, and there was a lady in the back of the bus, who blew soap bubbles out the window and yelled to the people on the streets about how much she loved everybody. She kept on singing and talking about love, peace and harmony during the whole trip with the widest smile I've ever seen, on her face. A couple of times during the trip, the white curtains were pulled down, and it was used like a screen(which I thought was REALLY awesome!!!!!). Seriously. So we saw a lot of San Francisco in the bus, and as mentioned, I'm going to post some photos later on(to make sure I don't forget mentioning something important, when I write about all of it). Maybe I'll just update this post, I'm not really sure how that works.
So after the bus ride, we got some time for shopping. Cecilie and I went to the mall, that we were in earlier, and we spent almost an hour(I think) in Aeropostale. I'm not really going to go into details with the shopping, but I'm just going to point out some of the awesome things about shopping in the USA compared to shopping in Denmark. First of all, all the shops, malls, cities and so on are big. If you're Danish and can't compare to something bigger than things in Copenhagen or Aarhus, then take that and multiply it with 100. Okay, second, we all love the American brands. And they are quite a lot cheaper in America. Sometimes about half the price of what it would be in Denmark. Third, the American people are really good at smalltalking and really nice. There's none of that awkward silence between the cashier and yourself, when you buy things in America, and they are also really great at helping you.
Okay, so after a couple of hours I was almost dying of tiredness, so I went back to the Hostel and slept for an hour, before we all met and went to a steakhouse for dinner. Actually, we had planned to go to the Cheesecake Factory, and we did, but that would've taken a really long time to get seats. Instead, we went to the mentioned steakhouse, and got a reservation for an hour later. The food was excellent, but I also think I would've eaten just about anything, because I was really hungry at that point.
I realize, I've only gotten to blog about Saturday so far, so I'm going to be blogging a lot for the next few days, and hopefully I'll catch up soon enough.
