Spring break...
Just had a nice break the last week... Went to Vegas fer some fun and relaxation... Its really very grand, with all the nice nice buildings as well as the pretty displays in front of the buildings... Ok pretty is the wrong word to use... Think breath-taking would be a much more appropiate word... Can you imagine a whole effiel tower in front of a building? Or a statue of liberty? Ok, i've nv seen the tower before so i dunno the size, but its really quite huge, considering that its only a decoration. There're so many themes to each of the individual hotels, i.e. Venice, Newyork, Desert, Paris, Caesar, etc... Just walking down the street and admiring the hotels would take at least 1/2 a day, but if u go into the hotels, think 1 day would sound better...
The casinos are all almost the same i feel, though there's a distinctive difference in the class of the casino... The feel is different, n of cos, the minimum bets are different too... Played mostly the slot machines, cos feeling quite broke n not too lucky... Lost around 10 bucks in all, but its really not tt much i feel... for several hours of entertainment...
Went to the grand canyon too. Dun really know how to describe it, its really very very big... Its not something which photos can really show, and as a quote from the bus driver, "you dun see the grand canyon, you experience it"... The bus ride was a lil long though, we left at 6+ am, returned at 9+ pm... N spent only like from 12 30 - 4 pm there... Not to mention we only walked around for like 2 hrs + the most... But well, its the grand canyon, you gotta pay a price to see it ...
The food there was good, buffets were readily available at $10 + USD... which is considered cheap for an international buffet... A normal western meal would easily cost ard $15, so 10 + is really quite a bargian... But the best is still the jap buffet which we went to at this restaurant called Todai... Its sushi is really fabulous, with like 10 kinds of rolls and the normal standard salmon, egg, prawn, wadever sushi. the good thing about it though, is that they offer large and fresh pieces of salmon with only a lil rice, unlike other restaurants which normally give huge pieces of rice too... And they still have cooked japanese food, like teppanyaki, (which i din eat much of cos i ate otherS) mixed tempura, teriyaki chicken, japanese tofu, with very nice japanese crab items... dunno wad they're called ... But well, u get the idea... N it costs only like $16 after all the +++... Wah, songz boh... I whacked my favourite tempura until the end of the buffet, but 1 reason was tt their tempura is a lil slow to come out... cos there're all the veges which no one eat... N i only eat the prawns... Not gng to waste my stomach on some brinjal or wadever...
All in all, i think i quite enjoy the trip. Though not a spectacularly wonderful trip, but it has nice stuff to see, good food to eat, and best of all, its at a relaxing pace... Hate trips where you gotta rush to places... the pt of a holiday is to relax, not to rush here n there.... But well, no sooner that i got back to pittsburgh then i have to start mugging again... And everything repeats itself... Haiz...
