We're back!!!

in London.....

no internet connection in New York, we lived in Spanish Harlem, kinda ghetto but we're alive, so that's not too bad.

Been recuperating from all the traveling on planes, trains and automobiles over the US of A for the last month. Trying to sort out the thousands of photos that we took in all the cities we visited, so here's just one from NY, the Flatiron Building, it's pronounced Flat Iron Building, so get it right, aight!!

Fiona did write on the Austin trip, so head on over to the Austin post that she put up there, i didn't have my camera with me as i was too busy digging my way through all the not too healthy big portioned american food that we had too much off in Austin!!

still alive....

still alive in US....

internet connection is dependant on neighbours connection....which sucks!!

currently in Boston, feels pretty much like London, after all Boston is New England....weather pun sama...cold and wet!!

going to Foxwoods in a bit....uncle lim goh tong has a say in its creation too...

and then off to see lady liberty on Thursday!!!

p.s. No Krispy Kreme here at ALL!! Only got Dunkin Doughnuts.....better than KL's but not up to par with KK!!

Austin TX, we're eating our way into America!!

We have been in Austin, Texas for the last 5 days. Austin is a college city. What did we do in Austin?

We eat!!

and EAT!!

and EAT summore!!!

Man, we've never eaten so much food!!!

Let me list it all down, in order.

Krispy Kreme - name says it all, we even got FREE doughnuts FRESH (Fresh as in the glaze just glazed the doughnuts and was picked off the conveyor belt!!!)
Chick-fil-A - A Christian Fast Food Chicken outlet
Chuy's - A Tex Mex place with enchiladas and quesidillas and much better than Chilli's!!
Malaga's - A Spanish tapas bar with really great Calamari!!!
Plucker's - Crazy Chicken Wings Bar where we ordered 100 wings!!! (15 of which were 'Fire-in-the-Hole wings which was like eating chili padi X 100!!)
Amy's - Amy of Austin's homemade ice cream, very rich!!
Rudy's BBQ - BBQ place serving DAMN JUICY beef briskets, rib and much more stuff!!!

No pictures of all this food coz as usual, food came and i dug in first!!! Anyways, i didn't want to get my camera dirty so if i can steal the pics from Fiona's cam.....

And we finally found an American Beer which was quite good...

Shiner Bock Beer - USD$2 a bottle during college nights on 6th Street.......VALUE!!!

Just one picture to prove that we were there......

Hollywood Swingin'

Los Angeles, the city of Angels....we were here!!

Didn't realise California was such a big state!!

We drove down to LA from SF....we took the coastal highway, the scenic route....took 14 hours!! Crazy!! We did make a lot of stops....one of them in Carmel, where we were sucked into the twilight zone (also known as the Coach Factory Store!!) which made is lose 3 hours!!

Anyways, highlight of the trip was:
- Going to Universal Studios, taking the famous studio tours where Jaws comes out at cha!!!
- Had too many Burgers at fast food joints till we maxed out on burgers!!!
- Meeting famous Orange County Wedding Photographer Jasmine Star AND having breakfast with her!!!
- Passed by Disneyland by the Highway and vowed to go there ... someday
- Got lost in LA trying to find Beverly Hills & Rodeo Drive (gave up eventually for fear of accidentally driving into the 'bad' part of town!! will try again next time)

But we did get a picture of the famous Hollywood sign.....

Such a waste that we didn't take a picture of the Church of Scientology's Celebrity Centre which we passed by when trying to get to the Hollywood sign....

Will blog in detail when we take time out from all these travelling....

Postcard Row.....with Love from SF

From our localized tour with Yen Ming yesterday....we pretty much covered a lot of San Fran.....here's a few of the more famous sites we went to yesterday.

Postcard Row; i think they used this image for Full House the TV series.

The Rock; Alcatraz

San Fran...

View from outside our window when we woke up this morning......



the apartment facing the wrong side, can't see the Golden Gate Bridge....

sigh....


Going to go look for San Francisco Coffee.....(or is that a Malaysian Brand??!!!)

The REAL St Patrick's Day

17th March, St Patrick's Day but we were leaving London on the very same day. So being kiasu, we managed to find an Irish Pub in Heathrow airport. Mind you, our flight was at 9:20am, and we arrived at 6:00am......so we had breakfast..... with Guinness and Beer!!!

Just because it's St Patrick's Day....(actually aips just wanted to get the Guinness Hat to add up to our collection of rubbish)



After that, we were off to the land of the free!!

some part just above Washington or Boston

Virgin Atlantic was quite good, fed us well. And got drinks too.

and got TV on each seat, the bad thing was that it was not on-demand and the movies we watched already......

So, we have safely and successfully gone through immigration (lucky they never deport us...heard too many horror stories about US immigrations!!) and are currently waiting for another flight to get us to San Francisco.

And the food here is DAMN ex!! At least USD$10 per person, die la, summore the exchange rate for USD to MYR is going up to nearly 3.8!!!

So till we see Golden Gate Bridge.....(why is it not called Red Gate Bridge since the bridge is red and not Gold???...stupid question, ignore it!!)
