The end of a great trip...
The trip ended on a perfect timing, i was sick by the end of the trip... Sadly...
I guess there is a reason y death valley got its name, i was feeling feverish n nauseous n diarrhoeatic by the end of the car ride there. N stupid jw had to drive thru all the rough bumps along the way, which made me unable to control my puke... Felt really sick the whole night after that, even until the morning... My mum had told me to bring my medication along the trip, juz in case but stubborn me as usual refused to listen... Guess its a lesson i'll remember...
But despite all tt, here're some nice pts bt the las vegas trip...
Las Vegas :
1. Cirque Du soleil- Ka: i dunno how to describe it... Its so different from anything i've seen. Its not like the music's great, or the plot is great but its a fusion of everything which makes it so fabulous. the 140 USD is really worth it, but i think its the kindaf show where some will love it, others will think not like it. watching it makes me wanna go watch another cirque du soleil... perhaps when they travel to sg...
2. Food - Todai rox... Tempura prawns, sashimi, n unagi made me succumb completely. Not to mention the desert creme bulee n cheese cake... N there's many other stuff like alaskean king crab legz, cooked prawns (which i nv manage to grab due to the speed at which it disappeared), sushi (which is really very gd too, juz tt i prefer sashimi), teppenyaki, (which i nv try to conseve space), etc... A must try for anyone there...
N of cos, the oreo cookie shake at fatburger rox... (i aint really tt huge of a fan of the burger, but the shake was... DOMINATING)...
Lost my appetite after falling sick soon after, so din try anything else...
3. Death valley- for those of u who are adventurous( juz to put it nicely), death valley aint bad to visit. There are some very nice viewing points, n its like the lowest pt in the western hemisphere so u'll feel real pressured over there. Perhaps tts wad caused my vomitting... But here' re pics which could hopefully convince u to go...
(The messy foreground, the beautiful background... Seems like 2 pics instead of 1...)
(a sample of the rock formations to be seen)
(Bad water! the lowest pt on the western hemisphere... N notice the white area beyond that. That is a whole layer of salt!
We think its due to bad water after drying up.
Bad water got its name from a man who discovered it. He brought his mule to badwater, but his mule refused to drink from it, so he called it badwater.
(a gloomy surrounding of death valley, in stark contrast to the beautiful day)
Vancouver n Seattle was great too, places which i'd love to go back to... there're too much stuff i din manage to do while being there... the seattle trip was too short, manage to visit only a sci fi museum as well as a music museum while being there. Din even visit the main shopping district, sadly... N there seems to be so much great food in chinatown and downtown which i havent tried yet. Not to mention the pike place market which i wish i had more time to explore. I've always liked to visit those marketplaces in downtowns where there are many shops selling a whole variety of items, but we were in a lil rush tt day, so din really manage to properly tour tt place too.
Missed out on ktv in vancouver too, mostly due to lack of interest. Had a great tim sum at a restaurant called sun sui wah, it is better than most sg places i assure u... the "pai2 gu3" was great, so is the porridge n many others... Ok, i'm getting hungry, shdnt think bt it anymore. N there're other shops to places to eat from too, juz tt i din have enuff to time to finish eating ard once again... There're also sooo many shops in vancouver to explore. robson street is simply one of the most bustling shopping scenes i've seen for some time... So many shops... so many offers... So little time... so little money... But wad impressed me more were the canadian brands. Din think much of the Us brands there, but the canadian brand Le Chateau impressed me quite a lot. Even though i'm not a clubber, but the night scene there seems pretty exciting to me, so exciting tt i'd really wanted to go there during new yr's eve.
Conclusion of seattle n vancouver: I want to go there again!
N now the most impt part of this whole entry!
Top 10 conclusions of this winter trip:
1. It was really nice, would be better if i din fall sick at the end...
2. I finally saw why a trip of consisting of 4 guys can be fun...
3. I did not shop enuff, (i.e. i did not buy any new clothes or accessories)
4. I grew fatter.
5. I like dogs to run in front of me, not behind me
6. I am not a fan of -20 degrees, i wonder why i paid to suffer.
7. My pockets feel a little light.
8. I am not horny (i haven watched a "heh heh heh" show despite being in LV twice)
9. Book hotel rooms with double beds. (2 guys on a twin can be a lil squeezy)
10. I like to have someone to drive the car here n there while I sleep.
