It’s my third day in US, and I am standing in line at the San Jose State Bursar’s office. I need to get my course enrollment paperwork complete. My friend’s tell me a women named “Cindy” can help me out.
As I wait in line, I day dream about my new life in America, my hopes, my dreams, and….oh, cute American girls, I throw a quick smile at them, and stare. Looks like my new country has a lot to offer

My recent (first ever) visit to an auto car wash station was funny, interesting, and definitely worth sharing. So there are two ways to you can get your car auto washed. One is to fill the gas first and get the coupon which the machine will offer while printing the receipt. There are 3 different $2, $4, $6 depending on the type of car wash you want. The other way is to directly move up to the auto car wash area and put the coins/bills in the coin machine and proceed.
So here it goes .. my first mystery shopping experience. Mystery shopping was an alien term for me until one of my “American friend” told me about it. The way she explained made me feel that its all about making quick money, eating for free, talking to people, and what not. It sounded so fascinating and I just couldn’t wait … and I enrolled for it.
