The Journey Begins

I've been in California since late Sunday night, and have been in Oakland for 2 days now. Tonight is my second night in the apartment and I'm really loving it. I know everyone wants to see pictures, but I still have things to unpack so there's boxes around. I promise to post pictures and a video tour once everything is unpacked!

Anyways, today I bought weed at a store without a medical card. Weed is virtually legal in Oakland, and so my cousin Alison's friend's brother, Adam, who moved out here in April took me to this place. It was very underground and they had about 7 or 8 varieties of weed, several varieties of hash and hash oil, as well as edibles. I only got some weed this time because we were super high when we went and it was all kinda overwhelming haha. I ended up getting Sweet Island Skunk and Blue Dream... both are awesome.

After testing all the weeds Adam, myself, and his 2 friends got, we headed downtown for dinner and ended up getting authentic Cambodian food-- a first for me. The food was really good-- there are a lot of Asian restaurants in Oakland... Vietnamese, Cambodian, Thai, Korean, everything. We got these tiny little egg roll things-- each one was about the size of my thumb, as well as garlic chicken with mixed vegetables, papaya salad, and a noodle dish. We also had Singha, a Thai beer... actually, the label claimed it's the original Thai beer. Either way, it was very good.

It's weird how cold it is here. It's been in the mid 60's since I've been here, not getting warmer than maybe 68 degrees. Funny how it's been so terribly hot on the East Coast, and so cold here- complete opposites, but it's certainly not too cold. It feels like a mix of spring and autumn.

I'm supposed to go to San Francisco with Adam tomorrow, so that should be fun.

Hope all is well with everyone at home :) I miss and love everyone!
