I had to post what happened... no FORCING. but read it!
It was like 8th - 18th December for our real short holiday..
Day 18th Dec 2006 -
we woke up early, about 5am in the moring. changed real quick then headed over to the airport. This may sound dead, but that's what happened. A 7hr flight to Tokyo Narita(stop-over), followed by anoher 8hr long journey to Los Angelos. At Narita airport, i met Miss Ng, 1g form teacher, and of course our geog teacher. I said hi to her. he might be visitng Mt. Fuji for geog research. ok that joke was stale. .
..AHA.... finally in USA, as I am writing this in our hotel, its 7pm here (18while its about 10+am in Singapore(19th dec) its about 16hrs difference. Singapore is ahead of time. We realised that our tour package's DAY 1 has just starte and was not wasted on the plane. cause it starts from USA 18th December. Did quite abit of sight-seeing today. Visited Santa Monica, where coffee bean was orginated, then got to berverly hills. That filthy-hih class district. Everything costed a bomb- like a walletwas over a thousand US$! Managed to buy myself a pair of nike shoes for only US70. did not have dinner, felt full, just drank a Cup of White Chocolate Caramel Cuppacino Fudge...It's Disney tomorow! =)
Day 29th Dec 2006 -
Holy! our hotel really suck. seems that the queue in Anaheim Disneyland is much smoother than that of Tokyo and Hong Kong. we pratically overed everything once agaun, using park hopper tickets,we adventured in Carlifonia Adventure Park and took rides such as CARLIFONIA SCREAMING, SOARING OVER CARLIFONIA. u got to check both up in the disney website. its those real fast 360* roller coaster that zooms fom 0-55 miles per hour in less than ten seconds. We sat anohter one, world's highest 150feet high plunge. it was no kick. and Twilight zone of terror is well set up. BRAVOS! wanted to look for a souveir, saw limited edition billabong tees, din waste such money though, so settled for a deck of Pirates of the Carribean Poker Cards. our dinner was simple Jap food... ahaha... its Universal Studio Hollywood the day after...
Day 310th Dec 2006 -Early in the morning, the group set off to Hollywoo for photos at the wlk of fame, where imprints of famous peope and their and and foot prints lay there. only real famous ppl would be stated, probably stars like Arnold. I bought a US$1 bill with arnold's face on it for 8bucks(US) within several minutes after, we reached Universal studio Hollywood. 'whoa', went to see the same 3D/4D shows first but the effects in japan were better. Jurassic park was not at all scary since i took it 6 times. but the splash made me wet and look awkward in the photo. bought that foto of the ride for US$26.. MUMMY RETURN ride was a roller coaster in underground cave, ging 88miles/hr, back and forth. It got me turned on and we managed to sit in 3 times. the rest were rather dumb, took a ew photos with the chaacters and for a universal studio cum hollywood tee for $23(US)..hmph, its Las Vegas tomorrow.
Day 411th Dec 2006 -On our way toLas Vegas, we had 2 shots at different factory outlts and the prices were freakin good. i bought lots there, including a GAP shirt, VANs shoes, pants and belt, few billabong stuff. obviously there was more, yet i have not unpacked yet.. after shopping w had dinner then a night tour for US$25. we got ripped the tour guide organised it himself sia. just let us walk about on the streets and sit a FOC monorail. ch**bye! Stayed at Stratosphere, Highest Hotel in Las Vegas, slept at 3am US timing. cause i explored the streets on LV..
Day 512th Dec 2006 -got on a bus to Grand Canyon, it was a jerky and bumpy journey cause the roas were steep. paid US$139 each for helicopter ride down 4000feet of the Grand Canyon then a mini boat ride below. it was so windy, i sweari could fly. headed to Eagle point forsome photo taking and Guano point for scrumptous warm western buffet. Goodness knows, i met LEE LI WEN from dhs 1c there. said hi to her =)
back to hotel in the evening. did some shopping at the supermarket. its Fresno tomorow...
Day 613th Dec 2006 -6hr long journey to Fresno, and the tour guide crapped throughout.. it was so hard to catch a few winks. Our breakfast was nice and the selection ws pretty wide. but pretty kind of look-liao-will-puke! k, there's no meaning to it. Tour guide got a mickey mouse hair cut. u'll see wad I mean when i am done uploading photos. had a fulfilling dinner. that night, i slept at 9pm, so erly. cause i din know all my siblings and everyone other child 21years and below were having fun next door. they called my room but i was asleep liao. =(
Day 714th Dec 2006 -left fresno, before hand, we had a breakfast. small portion though, just coffee, one omelette. a sausage and one miserable pancake. our 17mile drive to pebble beach was BORING. but the golfcourse they had there were one of the world's best. used even for major competitions. Lunched at Fisherman's Wharf, top0graded seafood. Clam chowder with sourbread dough costed us US$16.95 each. =X we had a chinese dinner, like finally. soon we'll be back home and yep, thats obviusly sad.
Day 815th Dec 2006 -City tour at Sanfrancisco, exploring many art museums and golden gae bridge. we chiong through the whole bridge that left me panting. had a pakistanish lunch, pretty humongous nd delightful. got a Cool Pinnochio doll for fun and a limited edition Cucky figurine with accersories attached. can't bear to rip it open, but HELL NO!
Day 916th Dec 2006 -Journey EnDs... got to take a plan back to korea then transfer to singapore. pretty worked out... cause day 10 was the crossing of international date line. so actually the journey only takes less than a day. day 11 is when USA is on the 17th december. so when we add 16hours ahead of timing, it would be 18th Dec in singapore. tour packages are really smart asses.
Day 1017th Dec 2006 -crossing of international dateline
Day 1118th Dec 2006 -back home finally... the house gets real dusty, caue of the knock down of eastern mansion. damn yenchen.... =X =X =X
