So I got send at fairly short notice to follow a training in the states.

The flight here was reasonably uneventful, the car drive however... Some notes:

being use to a manual gearbox I tend to slam down on the clutch when I need to slow down the car a bit. Of course I got an automatic, so what do I slam? The brakes of course :-(. I was lucky at Logan that there was nobody behind me...
you do need cash for the tunnels when leaving Logan airport with a rental car, paying with a card is not an option. Guess who didn't have dollars on him...
the waiters are still as active as before. I'm used to getting ignored by waiters, not being asked if everything if fine every 5 seconds...
I keep forgetting about 'tipping'
somehow all the locals are talking about some sports event, but I fail to see the importance. It is strange how people seem willing to discuss sports, but avoid politics as a deadly taboo.
while searching an ATM I drove round 'known' places in Cambridge.

I should stay up later, it's only 20:00 local time, but my body still thinks it is 02:00 so I'm off to bed.
