Second day in USA [Califonia, LA]

Woke up early in the morning and waited at the lobby. The person who is transfering us to the bigger tour bus speaks like Peter Chao, seriously LOL xDDDDDD....omg omg! There are many many cars here on the road tooooo!! And on the way to the big bus, I watched the sun rise. What an awesome sight! Can't take any photos though... =/.

Arrived at the location where we are supposed to wait for the big bus that will drive us to LA. I heard that this place is a 'ChinaTown' like place, so the nearby restaurants are all Chineseee! Naise! Bought some breakfast there hehe....After eating, when we were queueing up for the bus, some girls caught my attention, they were wearing mini skirts with laced and socklings, the exact fashion we often see in Japan. This small group of Japanese sat two seats infront of me and I could hear their conversation clearly from where I was!! Ahhhh!! xD...Looking at the sky, I thought of many things that might be happening in sg and went a little depressed, but oh well...orz..

The climate is really dry, so my lips started to crack orz..bleed..><....I got this urge to move forward to talk to the Japanese hahahaha!! Like in Jap xDD..but don't dare to lol...orz..

Waiting on the bus now at a stop for a customer to arrive, coz one person is late haha...so the whole lot of us are waiting for that person to reach...If I'm not wrong that person who is taking the taxi here is caught up in traffic jam, really eat up a lot of our time sia sian...xD


Diao, the late person sat was allocated a seat next to me lol...orz...he looks pretty apologetic for being late though.. o o. Looks Chinese, I wonder if he speaks Chinese or Japanese. On the bus to our early lunch, we've passed through many awesome looking mountains that we don't get to see in SG LOL..really beautiful and magnificent sia! And the civilisation below makes it look like the ideal pictures we often see in a beautiful drawn out picture with sunset or something hahaha!

The ride was pretty awkward since we haven't chatted. As in the stranger and I...lol. I just felt like saying, "Hi, where you from?" I think he's a Chinese afterall!!! After around 1 and a half hour of sleep, we've arrived at our first stop for an early lunch. Many of the tourist went for this Chinese Cuisine while our family and the Japanese family went slightly further down towards the "IN-N-OUT Burger" restaurant!, I swear, their fries are superb! Oh it was written on the piece of advertisment that their fries were homemade! *Licks lips*, yum yum. No wonder that extra unique kick that I've never get to taste xD.

We are now passing by the dessert area towards the Grand Canyon! The dessert is extremely vast and there are many many dessert plants!! Wooo, cactus and succulent plants xDDD...the locals actually plant their own plants so as to prevent the whole amount of sand to get blown around. (No sandstorm ftw!). The Grand Canyon we're going to has totally no reception wooo! Sounds pretty scary ><...what if there's a murderer or maybe an alien there D:


Reached Las Vegas, like finally!! The bus picked up 2 more customers while we used this chance to visit the nearby restroom and take a peek around the Las Vegas in de day~ This city looks really really happening! And it's kinda wild LOL...


We've reached the Grand Canyon after a few more hours of bus ride, and it's freaking amazing! I've only seen places with this scenery in movies and dramas, but Oh My God! This is such a sight! It's like this really really big gap in between two huge mountains, unfortunately it was freezing out there with wind blowing a few kilometers per hour, so I couldn't take many good photos ); . We walked to the edge of the cliff to take photos, I felt really intimidated cause it was super high up and that I couldn't really open my eyes because of the wind ): , my stupid brother almost tripped and fell off the cliff, what an idiot grrr! >_<@!@

Next, we went to the 'Corner Point' where we took photos and waited for the sun to set! It was another sight to behold! Ahhh!! Really really niceee! We took a jump shot err...I think we did, can't remember ><...too coldd brrrr....after taking photos and after watching the sun set, we went for dinner at the '6 star hotel' we are going to spend the night at LOL @@!!! I bought BBQ Pork Spare-ribs combo set! They have this really tasty double chocolate cookie! It's like omg omg!! *nom nom nom* , took my mum's cookie too hehehe....oh and there was performances played by a few 'cowboys' there haha! After finishing our meal we went back to our room. By then the sky was already extremely dark, totally no lights at all, endless darkness...The only lights was from the stars and our rooms.. Stars are scattered around the sky, some, brighter than the others. That's probably the horoscope stars I guess xD. I wonder where is the horoscope cancer.... We asked around on which is the best spot to watch the night sky, after attending the so call 'campfire' which was pathetic like gg, we went to the area behind our rooms, where there was no lights AT ALL! Seriously, I SCREAMED literally, it was such a magnificent sight! The dark curtain with countless jewels littered everywhere, it was spectacular. Really, this view is PRICELESS. You can never get to experience this anywhere else!!! What an awesome place, I'm glad I stayed overnight at the Grand Canyon....
