USA - 2002: Arrival

Sam and I over Grand Rapids and Chicago.

An empty summer campus.

My dorm room.

Lake Michigan

Looking out from Laker Village.

Sunsets on campus and just outside campus.

Main entrance to GVSU

GIR from hot topic.

Through the door's peephole.

Walking across campus.

The nearest small shopping area.

Marty's Lab

Myself and Sam with the routers we got control of for the semester.

Only fools do washing up :)

Bagels were the only decent food on campus.

The most unpleasant food possible...

Except maybe the disturbing neon ice-cream at this chinese restaurant.

After a month or two my desk became more homely.

Half a piggy in ribs.

Plymouth, MI at night. Can you find Carrie in the 2nd photo?

Isn't everything so different and weird in Ohio?

Yes I went on this (Millenium Force, 80 degree fall, 4th fastest on the planet at the time)

Ferris Wheel, overlooks the beach of Lake Erie.

Feeling sick yet?

Comparing Millenium Force to the treetops

This is where I drew the line. That white thing is a vertical drop.

Kiddie train... that's more like it

All the crap they stamped on us. We had UV ink on our wrists too.

Millenium force from underneath on the train.

They have boats in the US and everything!

Arcade with loads of retro machines. Yay :)

Where it is 'worth reading every day'. Notice the headline 'Cedar Point Lawsuits'

Return to the fountain in Plymouth MI, the next day to make sure it is still there.

Nice weather.

Troll free for 19 days.

Overlooking the river that runs through town.

Duck on a large, odd piece of concrete.

Now with green.

The shores of the river.

GVSU building. This is on a different campus to the one I had classes in so I do not know what it is like inside.

I dont like walking under bridges here and this is why.

River complete with stones and concrete.

Nothing down there.

The 'grand rapid'.

A complimentary sunset building shot.

Looking all imposing and stuff :P

Grand Rapids at night.

The free bus back to GVSU

Bit blurred but this is the start of the fall of the leaves.

So many types of urine, so little time. (it's for hunting in case you are unaware).

Venus Fly Trap. Something for us to play with (dead now).

The first flakes of snow... can you spot the white bits in this photo?

Canada linked to the US.

Driving around St Clair.

Big boat sailing down the St Clair river.

Around St Clair

Roads are so straight and boring.

Snow on campus (view from out my dorm window).

The first night of snow and the next morning.

Walking around campus late at night.

Chicago from the air (back to GVSU from San Francisco)

Chicago and lake michigan.

Grand Rapids... colder than San Fran.

Getting closer...

Got to love the frozen lake.

Sam made the front page.

Last moments at GVSU.

Worst christmas decorations I have ever seen. This is just one house and their front garden.

Pollution
