LA, USA

LA is a total consumerism haven. I think LA is a very good representation to why so many of my friends want to stay in the states. Everything is adequate there. Well, not there my home is not, but there is just a little more of everything there. So for those who have yet been to the states, do give it a shot, as i promise you, it is really worth it. Death Valley was the first stop, and it was really amazing. It is a desert plus a canyon. Kim's friend, Sara's parents had a house there. Yes, they stay in the desert. Sara's dad is a US Green Beret (aka Commandos in SG context). So you can imagine how much we can talk about army stuff.... Sara's mum is a rigger too, in the airborne battalion too. Impressive parents!!! And that is how both of them got together. This is a picture of the SG Red Beret and US Green Beret.
They brought us to the casino, and I must say even though it was quite a small scale casino, the perks they offer is really good. The more you play, even if you dun win money, you get free petrol, free dinner, and free drinks as long as your there. This is so good.

I can imagine how people go to the casinos to lose their money away. It is like seeing everyone donating the money to the machines.

Visited Santa Monica, it is a beach town. With a very good neighbourhood.
And of coz, how can I visit LA without visiting one of their theme parks, so I went to LA Disney. It is really huge, but the good thing is the waiting time is not that long. A picture of me and my host aka Kim whom I met in NZ.
Guess what I got for myself in the states for Xmas present? hahaha, i must say it was the best buy in my life.

Somewhere down the road in my life, if i dun get called by HIM too soon, I picture myself going back to US again for a reason or two. It has scenery as nice as NZ and I know there are so many more things we can do over there. And it is really not that expensive after all. :)
