Name: Billy Joe Collins, Jr.

Where did you go: Topeka, KS

Why did you go: I had to fill in at the church nativity scene after one of the wise men had a motocross mishap.

Weather: Good for the crops.

Most exciting thing you did: Put Paris and Nicole to work on my farm.

Least exciting thing you did: I had to leave when Wal-Mart closed for the night on Christmas.

Favorite food eaten there: Sausage wrapped in bacon with a side of pork rinds. Mmm-mmm good.

How it differs from Philly: People in Kansas are up on the latest trends. For instance, frog-gigging is the new cow-tipping.

Name: Rossum Waterfield

Where did you go: Philadelphia, PA

Why did you go: My parents told me that it was too expensive to fly me back to England for fourteen days.

Weather: It was cold and bleak, and a guy threw a battery at me.

Most exciting thing you did: Slept.

Least exciting thing you did: Stayed in Philadelphia for Winter Break.

Favorite food eaten there: I went to the World Cafe and had two mini-burgers. Why didn't they just give me one whole burger? Because two taste better.

How it differs from Philly: It doesn't. But back to food -- I went to Izzy and Zoe's over break. Every morning, in fact. And there was no one there, but it still took 40 minutes to get my bagel with cream cheese. I wound up saving money each breakfast because I ate so many pickles. Not enough to fly me back to England, though. My father is a son of a bitch.

Name: Jane Smith

Where did you go: Exit 5 on the Turnpike

Why did you go: Philadelphia doesn't have enough gardens.

Weather: All I know is Ellen DeGeneres' new show is pretty funny.

Most exciting thing you did: Ate at White Castle.

Least exciting thing you did: IMed my roommates in Florida.

Favorite food eaten there: Shop Rite used to have these garlic-flavored bagel chips when I was a kid. My mom would buy me a bag every week. Then, they never had them anymore. But when I was back in Shop Rite over break, they had them again. I purchased four bags and ate them at a diner.

How it differs from Philly: Well, 898-WALK doesn't come out this far, which is really a shame, because I miss the conversation.

Name: Joseph Work

Where did you go: San Diego, CA

Why did you go: I really burnt myself out this semester. 4.5 credits is a lot of work, and when I was a month into the semester, I realized that I'd need a reward. So, I bought my plane tickets. Aisle seats, such a huge score.

Weather: Let's put it this way: If I could have sex with weather, I'd have sex with San Diego's.

Most exciting thing you did: Sleep, Surfing, Sex and Sea World. All in the same day.

Least exciting thing you did: Boarded the plane back to Philadelphia.
