Day 4 - Shopping

Today we made a day trip to New Jersey. There is the outlet Jersey Gardens which has almost 200 different stores. To get to New Jersey, you can take the bus. Going by bus was new for all of us. Luckily we found the bus station without any problems and could leave shortly after at the appropriate gate.

Since our bagel expert (Florin) has met his family he couldn’t serve us with fresh bagels. That’s why we started in the outlet with a breakfast at Starbucks. After that we divided into 2 shopping groups. The groups were split so that the women were out together while the men explored the stores together. Shortly after, we started to get acquainted with the many stores and its clothes.

For lunch we met at the restaurants. What did not surprise us anymore was that there are many different fast food chains but hardly anything “healthy” as we are used to the Swiss standards. After the common lunch the men’s group said goodbye, because in the afternoon they went together to a sports bar to watch different football games and to learn some knowledge for the 16.10 (on this day we will watch a football game together). The rest, however, stayed until the mall closed. While waiting for the bus, in the evening, we could enjoy a very beautiful sunset. And everyone met together again in the apartment. We then spent the rest of the day together in our apartment talking together.
