I got into the US! *squee*

[martinemonster]

So, I got into the US okay. Lost my flight, but got a later one the same day so here I am, in John Kim's living room, just having finished watching justice league with his kid and eating mac 'n cheese. Very American. I'm so pleased!

Kinda tired, haven't had time to realize that I'm actually on the other side of the world from everyone just yet, and a little hyped on caffeine. This is going to be awesome!

Signing off!

Oh, and this icon is called "going in my blog" which this trip definitely is!

Ps. my cell doesn't work in the US, apparently, so I'll let you know when I get an American number you can contact me on. Until then I'll check my comments here and my email at least once or twice a week (probably more often, I am an addict to lj after all)

Techical, boring stuff: there are apparently 4 gsm standards in use. two in europe, which all european phones can use, a different one in the US, and apparently another one in use god knows where. You need one of those marked with tri-band to go be able to use it in the US.

Also, you need a phone subscription that alows roaming in the US, but I would have thought that was almost all the norwegian ones.

Anyways, yay! Gratz on not being denied at the border, and continued good luck on your trip!

så mitt billigste chessambonnement er bedre og hippere og avansertere enn martines abonnement`? Fett! Og en standard amerikansk nokialader funker utmerket på en standard norsk nokia. Veldig deilig.

Sansynlegvis ikkje, det er nok telefonen din som er betre... Men dei fleste telefonane som blir solgt i noreg og europa støttar ikkje den amerikanske standarden.

Hyggelig at du er her Guri! :D

Thank you! Actually the border control was really okay, it didn't take long and the guy was totally understanding about me not having filled out all the forms. he even lent me a pen. The whole thing took about 10 minutes and when I got out to the baggage claim, my bag was already on it. Awesome Americans...I'm actually quite impressed.
