Our Adventure in USA

Monday, June 23, 2008

My flatmate suggested walking to Food Lion which is supposedly 25mins walk from our workplace. I was pretty skeptical about it, and din understand why she wanna go there when we can now take a bus to Walmart. And boy it was really freaking far walk back with SO many groceries(keep in note that she is one BIG eater). So in the end, we ended up on a taxi the moment we hit highway cos we were struggling with our groceries! Thank god for that cab who stopped by!!

And after grocery shopping, Joanne and I headed to Barefoot Landing instead of the Beach as her eyes were really sore and hurting! *poor girl* So once again, we postponed our suntanning plans and headed down for some good food! And not only was Barefoot Landing very far(will have easily costs us more than 60USD to cab all the way there),there was nothing much there to do(even nearby Broadway at the Beach has more stuff). Luckily we took two buses till 79^th Ave which is about ¾ the distance, and cabbed there costing us about 20.50USD. It costs almost the same as our dinner! And so not worth it!

Anyway just in case anyone complains, this post has only my photos because Jo does not allow me to post photos with her and her red eyes. And i dont want Ced to complain that i only post ugly photos of joanne, which is SOO not true!!

So this is Barefoot Landing! It was pouring madly just awhile ago, so it was pretty wet!

Here's one shop with cool displays!

And street performers like clowns and magicians around the corner.

Including me, the drama queen! Heh!

Heh random photo, yums!!

Tiger’s Preservation Station where we saw ultra cute tiger cubs!!! =D

And one of them loves the Spider-man softtoy that it keeps on pawing at Spidey! Awwwwww!

And here are the bigger sized ones!

Ate at Wild Wings Café! =D

While waiting for our food to arriveee~

Traditional Buffalo Wings and Wild West Wings with celery dips!

and How it originated..

Knock-out Nuggets with BBQ sauce!

ULTRA huge onion rings I have ever seen, with mildly spicy beer batter!

And both of us walked out feeling almost the same way we walked out of Corral Grill, yes, filled to the brim.

So we left around 10pm, and shared a cab with two Canadians on holiday back to our bus stop. And we two pathetic souls stood in the dark at some extremely ulu place waiting for that so-called un-reliable bus service which ends at 11pm. I was sooo scared it wun come by and pick us up!! But luckily we managed to hop onto the last bus back and with the help of the bus driver, caught the last bus back to River Oaks! (:

And our off day came to an end, faster than anything else!! And only two more left!! Oh well, we will still try to squeeze in time no matter what. (: Before we embark on our long awaited travelling trip!
