28 hours in transit
Finally, I have arrived. In the US i.e.
Lufthansa business class rocks (more on the frankfurt to JFK flight than the delhi to FF flight, just fyi). Made the nearly 28 hr door-to-door journey much more tolerable.
A Lincoln with an installed GPS got me to my apartment. No food, so I ordered a pizza for $17. One of the things we desis need to reign in when working in the US on an Indian salary is our inborn mental-math skills - if you start considering everything USD, in INR, you just can't survive.
There's a TV with only basic cable, which means about 78 channels, including movie, news and comedy, so that's all I need. No Zee, Sony, NDTV (ok that's a relief) etc though.
