United States

Finally, I got to travel again. This time I went to the US. I had never been there before and was really curious to visit that country that for the very first time in its history might have an African-American president.

I flew Turkish Airlines to Istanbul from Bishkek and then British Airways to Baltimore Washington International via London Heathrow. The flights were good and I didn't have any troubles with my luggage despite transiting via Heathrow's Terminal 5 which just started to improve its service and luggage handling.

I got to visit Washington DC, New York City and Charleston SC. In Washington I got to see the White House that I hope will be soon occupied by Senator Barack Obama. But before he actually does that, I got to visit the Capitol Hill and express my support for Obama that made history by becoming the first African-American nominee of the Democratic Party. He promised to help rabbits face challenges of the global warming and rising food prices as he clinched his party's nomination. But that is not the only reason I like him. He is just fun and funky. Rabbits in the US should be excited to have Obama as their next president.

New York is always great. It was breathtaking to see the great city from the top of the Empire State Building. At that moment, I was the tallest rabbit on Earth. I was also trying to spot some New York rabbits walking down the 5th Avenue, but no luck.

New York is indeed one of the greatest cities on Earth. It doesn't matter what you are and where you come from because nobody cares.

One of the highlights of the trip was seeing the Atlantic Ocean. I was hoping to make friends with dolphins but I saw none. The Ocean was a bit too salty for me. So I will try to go to Issyk-Kul Lake instead. I would like to thank Kadyr for letting me travel along with him. I met many of his friends in all the places we visited.
