Okay now I am in Phoenix. After I left my Couchsurfer that was very creepy, I got a new one. He was actually super nice. Although he was very busy we had a drinking party the first night and I got proven that at least some Americans can really drink. The next night me and Hunter went out. First we ended up in a Casino and he taught me how to play Blackjack. He advised me very well and within 1.5 hrs. I made 200$ from 20. At the same time we warmed up with free drinks that you get while you are playing. After we got pretty wasted for free, we made our way to a nearby Club called the "Artisan" where we had a lot of fun dancing until the morning. I planed to leave the next day, but the Hangover was massive so I stayed one more day in Vegas. If I wouldn't be on such a tight schedule I would have stayed a couple of more days. Was a really great time to hang out with Hunter an his friends. Las Vegas was hot, but I got warned that Phoenix is even more. And that is true. While Vegas was providing you with a constant strong breeze, this is not the case in Phoenix. It is just HOT. If I stand just for 1 min in the Sun I turn into a 1.90 meter Waterfall. In addition to that, the car I am driving does not have Air condition. So you always hope for green traffic lights, because if you stop, the car turns into a furnace! Phoenix is very big but as I am told much to see, which I actually like since there is no good reason to go out in the Heat. Tomorrow I will try to leave very early in the morning and make my way to El Paso where I will meet up with my Ex-Colleague from Stuttgart. That I guess will be some fun, but I hope the climate will be more human then here.
