Finally I reached Philadelphia!
I came here to go to a graduate school starting in September. Actually this is the second time to visit here because I came here to visit the campus last January. I am so happy to come back!

I arrived at dorm midnight althought I was supposed to reach around 9pm. Because my flight was late and wasted about one and half hours to wait for a limousine bound for downtown. I was afraid to reach that late, but the dorm was 24 hours open and people helped me carry my luggages to my room, and my roommate gave me a warm welcome.

My room was larger than I expected. It's about twice as big as the room I stayed before. It also has a bathroom and kitchen for my roommate and me.

After a little talk with my roommate I accessed internet to send e-mail to my family and friends. I already missed them in the plane. Although a bed is furnished there are no pillows or sheets. So I slept without them. (>_<>

Here is some strange English for you.



We say "in the room" and "in the toilet" but "on the plane" "and on the train". I understand that you are inside but with all transport it is "ON".

It`s the same with bus and ship as well.



However we are always in the car, taxi and truck.



Don`t ask why because I don`t know.

Thank you very much for pointing out a mistake! That's really helpful. Maybe not only me but also English learners who read this site!
