the funtobe team has just returned from the road trip of a life time. form Illinois to New Mexico and back. ( in miles it translates to around 2900 miles, or 4700 kilometers!!! shit loads of miles…). for a “funobe ” that comes from a country the size of rhode-island, a gurney like that is something unbelievable. it was all spectacular- from the never ending flatness of the Midwest cornfields , to the mountains of Colorado and the desert of New-Mexico. i think that only by driving one can truly comprehend how vast the U.S. is. also i think i understand better the fact that the U.S. is a bit like Europe in the since that Colorado is as different form Nebraska as much as Spain is different from Norway, so next time we generalize, and oh boy, we do like to generalize here in the funtobealive world, we will try to generalize in a more personal way. For instance we shall not say “all the american are fat”, we will say- ” all the people of New York, Aiwa, North Dakota and Florida are fat”….

Hi from the FunToBe Team!

We are now in the Nebraskan Capital, Lincoln!!!! (Because we love it here!)
After 470 miles of cornfields (and bean fields, and oat fields) we finally get a chance to rest (because we REST!!!)
We write to you from a moderately sleazy midwestern roadside motel, hoping that nothing illigal is being concocted in nearby rooms-and that the parking lot will not explode in the middle of the night!
Because it’s Fun To Be ALive!!!!

Sincerely,
FunToBe and TigerLily

An interesting phenomena concerning Americans, (this column is about to generalize a lot of good people, but who gives a fuck?).
Most Americans do not use public transportation from the simple fact that it does not exist were they live, how ever those who enjoy the benefits of a such a system tend to do either of the following things, or both simultaneously: on the first place is the ipod, everybody, and I mean everybody as in EVERYBODY, has an ipod. One of the first times I took the subway/kogel, I was innocent enough to bring my Sony Disc-man. Boy, did I feel old and from a different world. The second thing which will escort every American who is brave enough to use public transportation, is a copy of Dan Brown’s “the Da Vinci code”.  This phenomena is even more bewildering than the ipod because it is completely low-teak and requires the ability to read which is not a common thing in the U.S of A.  most popular of all is of course a combination of both, ( or maybe listening on your ipod to Dan Brown reading the Da Vinci code while reading it!!!) .  One shall not forget the last but not list friend of the brave commuting American- the starbucks/ dunkin, plastic Cup Field with terrible American coffee.
