Work & Travel USA

*poooooooooooooooof*

this blog so dusty need to blow off the dust before i start.

to those who didn't know, i just came back from USA 2 weeks ago. My 5 month long Work & Travel program has ended. *boo hoo*. it was a super duper experience, and those of you who still have the chance, should go for it. Word of warning though. DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT choose The Homestead, that is, if the homestead has decided to recruit people for this summer program again. Yellowstone or Grand Canyon will be a much better choice.

anyway from here on out, i'll let photos do the talking... enjoy.


The Homestead. place where we worked at. looks nice on the outside, falling apart on the inside. hahaa...


where we stayed the first month we were there. crazy heater that doesn't work on cold nights, and melts us during the summer.


we later moved to a much nicer place to stay, with air con, and black music blasting throughout the night.


view from the one of the hotel rooms. i was a housekeeper there so i worked indoors all the time. that's how i know the hotel's falling apart inside. hahaa...

we cook our own meals in the kitchen some times...
i hang out at this old gym alot while i was there. there wasn't very much we could do.


the grocery store a 20-30min walk from where we stay...

my very nice colleague brought me to her beautiful home one day.

4 months flew by and my friend and i started our 1 month of travelling. First stop was Washington DC. This is the Washington Monument.



Statue of Liberty. Obviously, from Washington DC, we went to New York. this place sucks. but Central Park is a MUST GO. and their M&Ms World too.


Next on the list was Boston. This is our guide at Harvard University.


American buffalo. they were everywhere in Yellowstone...


Chiobu ranger on our trail. lucky us always got pretty guides...


Viva Las Vegas! trucks like this one here roamed the streets 24/7.


Every hotel along the Las Vegas strip will greet you with a casino.



cycled across the Golden Gate Bridge. very beautiful view, nice town at the other end.


Alcatraz. A Must-Go when you're in San Francisco. USD 26.00 but well worth it. Can see the places where X-Men:The Last Stand was filmed.

Auntie's store in New York City.




hope that kept you entertained a bit. =)
