Our first two days in Oklahoma

We finally arrived in the USA after a long flight of 12 hours. We changed planes in Newark, where we literally ran so we wouldn't miss the plane! At Oklahoma's airport, our American correspondants waited for us, all excited. They were waving pancards and screaming... I felt like a celebrity with fans waiting for me! Fariha and her family was waiting for me with flowers. At first I tried to kiss them on the cheeks, like French people do, but they didn't expect that at all! Actually, Americans hug!
The first thing I did was to go to a Bengali party, wearing indian costumes! Adele came too, with her correspondant, Fabiana. We met their families, their friends, and their friends' families. It was a very big party for a one year old! We ate Chinese food and cake with a lot of icing, as usual.
The next day, we all went to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast. Me and Rizlene couldn't finish at all what we ordered, because everything in USA is just too big! Her muffin was huge! After that we went to the mall but the only thing that I bought was candy. I tried my first Resse's Cup, which is chocolate with peanut butter, and it was amazing!
Today we finally visited the Classen High School, and it was so... American! They had lockers just like in the movies, and there were drawings on the walls. We had a little tour of the school and we were all amazed how Americans go to school only to take Relaxation class (which was basically sleeping on the floor), Dance and Sculpture lessons! And in class they are very free to just get up and go talk to their friends!
After class we went to the History Centre. It was so entertaining!I liked the most the part where they rebuilt a typical American house from the past.
So long, Oklahoma was a very welcoming city, and the next two weeks look promising.
