Chronicles from a Catalan Dolphin

This blog is about the crazyness-turned-laughing about living in USA and surviving to it.
Hey, better laugh about than cry about, right?

I write from Ohio, where I am doing my Ph.D. at Kent State University. Tough science, rough parties and global roomates...

Take a look at this video. Spontaneous, no script, no BS. Snowing like hell, the worst snowstorm of the year in Ohio and when I open the door: "We charge $25...$25 to shovel the driveway". Some dude I never seen before is asking me $25 to shovel the snow of my driveway!!! Damn, America the land of opportunity to boot! Not just that, he even debased his tagprice later to $5 for helping me once I was half way out! He even seemed angry when I rejected his offer...$25 for shoving the driveway? Man, don't you know I am a Catalan? I can OF COURSE do it and will do it myself!!
