hey all.
a merry new year to everyone.
i'd post pictures of very satisfying winter break. but i can't coz daryl's comp crashed and the photos probably won't be up for some time.
nonetheless it was a blast. travelling with 3 guys is a very different experience. not that i'm looking down on members of my sex, but travelling with 3 guys who get along well, are very resourceful and provide much needed entertainment can be a blast. not to mention 3 guys who do not mind looking stupid and laughing at themselves. recipe for a good holiday.
wait till i get the picture of jon with the 'Finding Nemo' hat on his head right up here.
California's really the land of sunshine and that's something you don't understand untill you shiver in michigan cold for quite a bit. it's sounds chiche and exaggerated really, but cali literally glows! i'm not talking about the unforgiving sun i get in singapore. the houses in LA, santa barbara.. are painted in very warm marigold colours. and the effect of the sun on them? positively sunkissed. too bad i don't own an SLR coz the standard digicams just don't cut it. the pictures don't do justice to the real beauty.
and the roads! the lanes are marked with reflectors! so you can actually see the road when you're travelling. that's very important.
so i did LA, SFO and vegas with some stops in santa barbara, carmel, monterey, yosemite. very rewarding if i may say so myself.
the destination really is only half the fun, the people make all the difference. oh, and the food too.
