Provo, Utah 2006 Part2

On July 1st, 2006 brother Gee brought us to Provo,UT where we met Brandon Betenson and McKay Bohnam at BYU Cinnamon Tree apts. I got registered in housing, unpacked my suitcase and started a new page in my life that I would call then "BYU Life experience".

I lived in apt 58 together with Spencer Pearce, Brandon Betenson and some two guys more whose names I cant remember now. My bed was really huge and stood on some construction blocks. It looked weird but fun to feel I was a bit higher from the floor. Though this height was not always good to me as I would fall down from my bed! I did it twice!
The next day I went to a very nice store "Maceys" which became my first work experience afterwards. I think I spent $35 for groceries and some "Utah" clothes because I have had only the Russian ones. In Utah most clothes might cost you less than groceries ( food), so later I calculated myself that I could have puchased much more clothing that I would have ever got in Ufa, Russia!

As for food, the only things I could allow myself to try to eat were eggs, meat, yogurt and bread with peanut butter. Nothing more. It was not because I had no enough money but it was just absolutely unknown to me what Utah people eat in general. Most food names were unfamiliar, so I had to ask Brandon to confirm it was OK to get it.
I have learned to like McDonalds in America! They are a bit different from the ones we have in Ufa. I was hesitating how I could speak to the cashier when making an order. Once I have ordered french fries, cheeseburger and was ready to cash the guy asked me: "Here or to go"?. Sorry, but that time I did not know English well enough to answer correctly, so I said just "Yes".. He was confused with my answer and probably thought I was an psycho! LOL...So thanks to Artur I got the question and said we were going to eat in the room.
