Miami Tomorrow

Well, it has been a while since I last updated it, sorry about that...

Let's see, where I left off..

Alright so I guess that last post was in Amalliro..
Oh Man! Amarillo!!! No hope NO HOPE!!!
That place is crazy.. I didnt even take a picture... I mean...

Here.. for those of you from Appleton, its like college Ave, with all the stores closed, and without people walking around.

Yep, the only people I encounter were the other Deepac and Yu...

and there was only 1 Inn ... of course ran by indians :)

Deepac gets some indian music running in his head every time they speak.

The thing that you should expect from the indians!
1.) they will call you at 9.00am to tell you that 11.00am is the check-out time, without your request
2.) they will call you at 10.30am to tell you that ... oh wait.. its the same thing as above...

Of course in the process, wake all of us up....

well, I am glad we were done with that...

Then we left Amarillo ... took us 12.00 hours, reached Houston around 7.00 am
we searched and searched... cant find any hotel cheap around there...
and then there were some sketchy mexican cab drivers trying to get us to some cheaper hotel...
but when i mean sketchy i mean.. gangster sketchy... as if they were looking for another gang to fight with....

So after all, we tried but fail to find any good priced hotel with good location...
we looked up the next bus from Houston to New Orleans,
it was at 11 am... So we decided we want to go.

Got on the bus, stayed for about 5 hours more..

Got off at New Orleans, close to the  French Quarter but sadly there werent any cheap hotels so we took a cab down about 2 miles and stayed at a cheap hotel.

The desk clerk was indian too but fortunately he didnt call usin the morning :)

Alright so we slept and in the evening of the next day we went out to the bourbon street

Well so we head straight to the Jackson Square


And then we walked to the ocean (sea, river? donno the one that is next to jackson Square)

It was really really foggy, and we saw a boat coming from nowhere. it looks really really BIG and it was heading straight to the bridge u see in the picture.
We waited to see what will happen since it looks like the boat is too big to go under the bridge..

20 mins later... it reached the bridge and it was TINY....

so yea.. i guess it was further than we thought...

now then it was already dark and we were hungry.
We looked up restaurant around and one of them seem promising.

so we tried to decide what to order, I said jumbolaya is what we should try here, then yasushi said he will try it, Yu said he wanna try that too, I was thinking to myself ... me too... goddamn it... alright i ll  order something else

3 minutes later...

there were 3 jumbolaya on the table (for all of us) ...


yep i gave in... i wanna eat that too lol...

so we ate it, it was pretty good

Then we were going to hit the bars in the bourbon street...

guess what?
All the bars are filled with people above 35
there werent any under 35 .. so yea. we decided it is not a place for us...
and for some reason we couldnt find the preservation hall.. so we just left the street and walked along the downtown area...

And of course it couldnt get any worse right?
WRONG...

it started to rain and it got harder and harder... =(

the end result?


I know I know.. what the hell is wrong with my face... sorry... i was wet..really really wet...
Oh.. while we were waiting for the trolly, the stop was like a little shade with the wall raised a little bit..

the car came behind us splash our legs as you might spot in the picture, our legs were also wet...

now that s done, we went back, and sleep.

we got off.. and then left.. to Orlando

And there was nothing much happens here actually,

since its really expensive to go anywhere now that we are running low on the resource

In any case, we tally up our expenses (hotels and taxi to hotels only)

came up with $374.548 per person
so, not too bad, actually

although, yasushi probably spent much more than that.

Alright, I hope this post is a little more interesting than the older ones.

(p.s. Bruce, so when should I be expecting my 10% that I lose? =))

Thank you for reading,
Byte out!
