Hanging in San Jose (literally)

Wow, what a fun day of adventure! My old friend Edan flew in from Shanghai! Me, Oonica, and Alexandra picked her up from the airport. There was a bit of a mishap as we thought she was coming at 4 pm, but she arrived at 4 pm. No big deal though! We had a hell of a time!

First off we went ziplining at Monkey Jungle, best in the area! There’s nothing as exhilerating as flying through the forest! It makes me feel like a spider monkey.

After that, we were pretty hungry, so we headed over to Otero’s pizza! Pizza’s my favorite food, and Otero’s is my favorite pizza! I told them they had to try Otero’s famous lime pizza. It’s iconic! I can’t possibly associate with someone who doesn’t like it. Good news is they all absolutely loved it!

Next stop, H20 Adventures! Talk about an adrenaline rush! I swear we were rafting faster than a car at some points! We were constantly being drenched. Alexandra kept on puking over the side of the raft. I think she must have eaten too much lime pizza because she liked it so much! At one point, we stopped and did some cliff diving. Alexandra climbed up but wouldn’t jump off, so I gave her the push she needed! Literally! Hahaha great memories were made by all.

Hangin’ in San Jose

Today Eddon Edfield, Alexandra Warling, and I picked up Edan Tollefliott from the airport. We were a little late, but Edan didn’t mind. After a 20 hour flight from Shanghai, a couple hours or so late isn’t such a big deal, really. After picking up Edan Tollefliot, we went ziplining at the Monkey Jungle Canopy ziplining tour! This place was a BLAST! I had so much fun seeing the beautiful sights my home has to offer. But oh boy, what a show off Edan is. Edan was constantly yelling and shouting for attention while performing tricks on the zipline. By the way, the tricks didn’t look the safest, but Edan traveled all this was from China, so might as well let him do whatever he wants! Later, Eddon took us to his favorite pizza place, Otero’s Pizza. I was very displeased to learn that they did not serve Fettuccine Alfredo, like the Olive Garden does. What a disgrace. I wanted to throw that disgusting, pasta-less pizza right at Eddon’s face. It took everything in me not to burst into anger. But then I remembered my fond memories of chasing chickens back at the farm I grew up on. Then I took a short trip to the bathroom to partake in my other favorite hobby. Crying. Alexandra seemed to enjoy her cream cheese-looking pizza though. After our bellies were full of Eddon’s disgusting pizza, we made our way to the whitewater rafting place. I enjoyed it so much! Alexandra spent a lot of the time with her head over the edge of the raft, she probably just liked watching the water as we passed over it… To each their own! Overall I’m really glad my friends and I had a good day. I hope we can all do this again soon. Although, I’m still very hungry for some Fettuccine Alfredo…

So apparently my friends all left town and so I had to go exploring the city of Paris all alone. I live the apartments right across from the Eiffel Tower called Saint Germain des Prés – Odéon so like I do need to go see it again. Got food at my favorite place called Oh! Régalade de la Tour Eiffel always get the hotdog, SO GOOD! I hate taking uber because of all the CSI episodes, so I took a lyft instead down to 37-31 Avenue de Saxe to where I thought there was a mall but turns out its just people selling stuff on the street, couldnt believe that it was 5 stars I will be giving them a bad Yelp review.

This is my apartment that is very expensive
This is where I got my hotdog #relish

I was really feeling like I need a drink so I found this local bar called Le Rosco’s and I did not want to be that girl who sits alone at the bar so I just walked up and joined in on another couples conversation, thank god they let me third wheel with them. After I got way too wasted they order me a lyft home.

Alexandra Warling – Day out with friends in San José

We – Onica Boovan and Eddon Edfield, and me, started the day very late. Our friend Edan Tollefliott came all the way from China to hang out with us for the day. He didn’t have a very good time because she arrived in Costa Rica from her plane around 4am but we didn’t get to pick her up until 4pm. When we did go finally pick her up we started our fun day with the ziplining at monkey jungle. I liked it but Edan was such a show off. He kept shouting and yelling to look at him, but nobody wanted to listen cause we knew he was just going to show off.

Then we went to eat lime pizza at Oteros Pizza. Eddon was super excited about ordering the pizza but it was not as good as i thought. When he said lime pizza i thought he was referring to just limes, with the rinds on the pizza. Luckily it wasn’t. It had a white sauce which i got excited about because i thought it was cream cheese. It was not cream cheese. It was okay i guess, i don’t think anybody enjoyed it as much as Eddon did.

After eating we chose to go white water rafting. I am deathly afraid of water so this was a very courageous thing for me to do. The pizza and the water rafting did not agree with me so i ended up being in the back to make sure i didn’t hit anybody when i didn’t feel good. I spent more time leaning over the side of the boat than anything.

At the end of the raft tour we could go cliff jumping, Eddon pushed me off! I was mad but i ended up not breaking any bones so thats a win for me.

Go check out my friend’s posts Onica, Eddon, and Edan.

Jawin Courtver, Seattle Washington Meet up with Nicholippe Stromley

Today, I met up with local Sham Pedestrian and fellow Russian Nicholippe Stromley at “Hole in the Wall BBQ” because I heard it was a good place to eat. I was starting at the ceiling at a local bar a few months ago when I heard her cussing out in Russian. I approached her and gave her my business card. Today, we are meeting to get acquainted before I take her on as a client.

When I sat down with her, I realized that she may be part robot, which was exciting because it brought back memories of my animal robot innovation days in college. I’m not kidding her favorite book is a Mazda 6 Sport Mode Operations Manual for God’s sake and she survives on photosynthesis! What an amazing discovery!

Next, we went to the notorious Gum Wall because I wanted to see how she would react to such a human activity. I had my favorite Peach flavored gum with me and took my time to chew it before adding it to the collection. It was so satisfying.

Then we visited the Fremont Troll which is a colossal sculpture of a troll underneath a highway. It was my kind of scene because I like going against the grain and being a little different. I’m not sure how Nicholippe liked it but you can check out her post to hear all about it.
