Hi, My trip started here in Sweden where I won a Porsche and a trip to the
United States of America. When I heard about the news on radio that I was so
shocked I didn’t know what to do, so I just stood there and looked shocked.
Three days after that the shocking day the persons from lottery 2000 called me
and told me too be ready for the big road trip. And I said:
-VA?!! En bilresa?
-Ja en bilresa i din nya Porsche, the man said.
-Men ni sa ingenting om det på radion, I answered.
-Men nu vet du om det så var klar och stående i Arlanda kl 18.00, and the man
hung up.

I didn’t complain because after all I had won a brand new Porsche and a road
trip trough the U.S. So now that I had found out that it was a road trip I
started to pack things that was very necessary, and this is how my list looked
like.

? Clean underwear and 5 pare of socks
? Money for spending
? Thin clothes and something thick if it would get cold like a jacket
? A freestyle or a mini disc
? The special card for free food at the hotels or restaurants
? A camera

The rest was their job. When all my stuff was ready I called for a taxi. I
arrived to Arlanda 4PM. The taxi took 300 coronas. I went inside Arlanda and it
felt great because I knew that I was going to sit on the Aeroplane any hour. I
walked fast towards the customs to leave my bag. When I arrived there was a
pretty thin line. After a few minutes I arrived to the nice lady that took care
of the bags. I showed my aeroplane tickets to the nice lady and she took a look
at my pass and my ticket. Then she took my bag and sent it away on a rollerband.
She gave mi a boarding card and told me to have fun and that was exactly what I
where going to do. I sat down on a bench and waited for my flight. Then to men
dressed in black came and asked if I was Rossi Jahangardi,
-Ja det är jag, I said.

And they congratulated me and gave mi flowers; they even took a picture of me.
They told me too have really fun and that my Porsche was waiting at me in the
Pennsylvanian airport. And then they said that I was supposed to drive trough
some special chosen states in the U.S. The gave me a map that looked like this:
My first stop will be at New York City. I will get my new Porsche there so I can
cruise in the city the first day. I will spend the night on a *** star hotel.
Then I will move on to Pennsylvania but I will just drive trough it whit my
Porsche. Then when I reach Ohio I will spend the night in a Motel. And maybe I
will have some time to go out and see the city. Of course I will move on the
next day driving trough Indiana and Kentucky but I will stop at some motels to
eat or some picturetaking. Of course I will stop and that will be at a *****
star hotel. And I will have some time to take some pictures and cruise around in
the city. The next day I will move on to Arkansas and I’m going to stay at
another hotel whit very good food they say. I will drive trough Louisiana and
have my stop in Texas very close to Louisiana. I will have a lot of time to
drive trough Texas and see the city and maybe I will have some time to see the
ranches. My stop will be still in Texas but this time very close to New Mexico.
There I will have my next stop. Of course I will drive on to Arizona and have my
next stop over there. The next day I will drive to Utah and have my ninth stop.
Then I will drive trough the Nevada deserts and stop at California very close to
Nevada. And there will be the same thing over there as it will be in Texas. I
will have a lot of time to drive in California and check out all the best
places, especially Las Vegas the city of Night. And my trip will stop at San
Francisco. And I will spend the night there. And the day after I will leave by
an aeroplane back to New York where I will change the plane to return to Sweden.
The to men left me a big piece of paper where it told what I was supposed to
find out in each state. And they gave me another camera to take pictures on the
places that was written on that big paper. I thanked them and went to my plane.
I sat down in it and listened to my freestyle, and that’s how my trip begun.
The flight personal woke me up a few times to serve food. But I don’t like the
aeroplane food so I didn’t eat so much. Instead I watched the movies they showed
on the TV. But I wasn’t so interested so I fell asleep again. But I suddenly
woke up by some turbulent but the aeroplane personal just kept on saying there
is no problem sit still. So that was exactly what I did. I fell asleep. Finally
after 6 hours we landed and I woke up and went out from the plane towards the
baggage claim to pick up my bags. Finally when I went out I saw my beautiful
Porsche outside in the great smell of New York air. A man came and gave me the
keys to the Porsche. I sat in it and felt the great smell of leather and when I
put the key in and started the motor I felt great. I started the motor and drove
down town. There are many people here in New York, the population is 16,3
million persons. I was right outside Teterboro Airport. I followed the map
towards the Brooklyn Bridge. Today the traffic seemed to be light. The bridge
was very nice and big it looked like this:

This bridge leads right into Manhattan. When I reached Manhattan I turned right
towards my three star hotel. I spent the night over there because I was so tired
When my resting was over I went out for some pictures.


That is Broadway where my hotel was. Broadway is very nice at night when you can
see all the neon lights. To the left of my picture you can see a store whit the
name Sardls, Sardls is a store that got very nice pictures for only 1$ apiece.
1$ is 8,50 coronas and that is cheap for a picture that nice. So afcours I
bought them for souvenirs. I liked New York very much because it’s a city that’s
keeping on moving day and night. And there are so many buildings that the island
can’t take one more building, so instead of building New York wider they are
building it higher. That is why it’s so many skyscrapers in New York. One of the
biggest skyscrapers is Empire State building.

That is a very good picture that I took from the Liberty Statues head. You can
see how they are building the skyscrapers. Well that was all from New York
because I was now heading through Pennsylvania. The driving was good because the
roads were wide and good. And you could even see Philadelphia. I knew that I
weren’t supposed to stop in Pennsylvania but I just wanted to take this picture.

You can see Philadelphia in the background. But as soon as I took the picture I
sat in my car and continued driving to Ohio. I drove until I reached the city
Springfield. There is where my Motel was. I stayed over the night and ate a big
continental breakfast. But I was very disappointed at the city. Because there
weren’t much too see. Except some boring houses and streets. But it had some
nice fields. I think that that’s the reason why they are calling it Springfield.
But I didn’t spend so much time over there because I continued whit my road
trip. I drove trough Indiana and the city Indianapolis. The city where really
nice and I liked everything that I saw but unfortunately my camera didn’t work
so the only thing that I could do was to sit there in my car and watch the nice
view. I continued driving till I reached Kentucky. I drove untie I reached
Nashville. And I found a place where they fix cameras in one hour. So I went out
to see how it looked like here in Nashville. I saw many nice buildings and
museums that showed how it was in the Civil War. They wrote that the Civil War
started because the North side of the U.S. didn’t want any slavery but the South
side wanted the opposite so that’s why the war begun. I learned much that day
and all that learning made me hungry. I went out for some fast food because
U.S.A. is famous for all the fast food the people are eating. I could see that
lot of people was overweight and slow. But enough about that, I went to a place
where they served “Kentucky Fried Chicken”. That was very good and tasty. They
had a very big bucket whit fried chicken wings in it. They also gave a small
bucket whit smashed potato and another small bucket whit dressing salad. After
that monster meal I didn’t know if I could stand anymore. I went back and took
my camera and continued on my trip. I continue towards Tennessee and spent the
night over in a motel. Next day I drove to Arkansas and went to a town called
Little Rock. It was a nice quite place whit nice people that respected you very
much. I liked that place very much and it had a very beautiful view too. Well I
continued towards Texas the city of cowboys and wild live western, so I though,
but they where very civilised and it was a big disappointment because I thought
that I was going too get see some real wild wild west style over there but they
didn’t have that. But they still had their country music.

I took this picture from Texas but that was all. I continued my trip trough
Texas and reached New Mexico. They had a lot of Mexican people over there and I
thought that it was a very nice place whit a different culture and they still
had these old Mexican houses and I took a picture of one of them.

That is the picture. The whole United States got places like this but whit
another nationality like china town, Harlem where almost all are black afro
Americans, they got places whit only Italian people and places whit only Iranian
people etc. I continued until I reached Arizona, a very beautiful place that had
many beautiful views like Grand canyon


And they also had a beautiful place called the Sonoran Desert and it looked like
this

It is a nice place when it rains or else you’ll get fried. And the last place I
visited was the Hoover Dam and I took this picture of it

That was the last place I visited until I continued trough the Nevada desert,
and believe me it was hot. They even say that you can frie eggs one the stones
you find in the desert. And I just wanted too drive trough it nothing else. And
at last I reached California. I went to almost all the places you can be in when
you are in California and now I’m going to show you all the pictures I took
before I returned to Sweden, just look and see:


First I went to Death Valley. Death Valley is one of the hottest places on the
whole earth. It only rains a couple of millimetres per year. And they say that
once you’re in there you’ll never get out alive. The next place I went to was:

That is china town in San Francisco. My next stop was:

The Golden Gate Bridge that is they’re for the beutifullness. But when it blows
hard the bridge bends like this. Then I continued to:

Hollywood is the city of celebertys. But I’m not allowed to write about movies
or music so I can’t tell you anything except that it was a nice city. And I went
to:


Mountain Jewellery. And I really can see why they gave it that name. When I went
there I just relaxed. And the last place I could go to until my time was up was
Yosemite Falls and It looked like this:
  	And that was the last place I could go to before I went to the airport for
the two flights home. I can say that this was the best trip in my whole life and
that I had learned very much from U.S. about the people and all the places I
went to. So this is where my storie ends Bye.
