I had to buy a very large suitcase for my four month trip. I didn't know they made plastic bags to carry suitcases in.

The hotel I'm staying at now. I stayed at The Omni at first, which had an exciting major fire.

Inside Hotel Duncan.

The "go away" rack of signs at Hotel Duncan. The top sign has a button (for clothing) on it and the message: "Press button for maid service. If no answer do it yourself!" Some of the other signs say "We do not accept personal checks", "The management reserves the right to refuse non-registered visitors in rooms" and "Please be courteous to our employees. They are harder to get than guests."

In the US either the cars can go or the pedestrians can cross the street, but not both at the same time, even when going in parallel directions. This is probably supposed to increase safety for pedestrians, but the actual result is that waiting for the light takes so very long that no one pays any attention to the light. Being able to walk diagonally across the intersection is neat, though.

The Yale Repertory Theater puts on new shows often.

The Yale campus is a mix of old and new.

In the US there are cars every, and there are also signs absolutely everywhere about how you will get towed for unallowed parking.

The Cowles Foundation building. My office is on the top floor to the left.

This is my office.

I began to suspect that the tango bootcamp was not entirely official when the teacher had to climb in this window to open the door.

Then he asked the people who showed up early to wash the floor. Hmm...

Yes, I poured fountain soda into my sleeve.

Hey, they've got Haribo in the US too! Unfortunately, this candy is absolutely disgusting.

This, on the other hand, is quite good. The green circle to the left even says that it is "FAT FREE!". I guess it must be healthy then.
