Back in school!

Alright so folks, now we (I Deepak Kei Yu) are back at where we started, and Yasushi is on his way back right now.

SO the trip was once in a life time but more on that later!

Lets go back to where I left off
Yes, Miami

That place is just too good!
the beach, the breeze, and everything else

the beach gets full early in the morning (Specific time is unknown since we never get up before 12)
and then people start leaving around 5 since the weather gets colder

we were there around 2pm and here is what it looks like

I hav no clue who those people are nor Am I interested to find out =)
Just like the view
After a little beach, we were hungry since we didnt eat anything before going to the beach

we went around the downtown area and found this promising restaurant

I order cajun chicken and shrimp pasta (9.99)

Taste GREAT! Totally Approved!

Then we went back to the beach =)

wer

We then met up with Tomo, another waseda kid whos travelling around U alone

He lost soo much weight!

and his face is just Priceless! (no pun intended Yu)

Since the food was so good, we went back there again the next morning

Cheers to miami! and happy chrismas!

Then it was the end of miami, sadly this was a wet Christmas :( so we stayed in the room most of the time)

So After miami, Yasushi decided to split up to go on his course which is quite unknown to me atm

the rest of us stick together and go to orlando

again there was nothing much going on in here

we slept a night and continue to columbia,

As expected we are doing really bad on timing to NY

so we left there right away to DC

In DC I got quite sick =(

it was painful Y_Y and then it was sooo cold there (hint as bad as wisconsin)

we landed on the bad side of the DC so it looks pretty sketchy, we then decided that we should leave

so we did.

we got to NY on 29 =) hooray!

Got to my brothers apartment

Then we felt like home =)

i rested for a while to recover my body and took some advil,

other people went outside to find some food

then we just chill

on 30th we went out to Rockefeller center in search of a gamestop

We only found nintendo world where Yu was VERY HAPPY to find

the thing was if you add all the ages of the people in there together (not including the moms) it is still less than Yu's age

Yes.. they were little kids..

So then he spent time in there and I and deepak went to Rockefeller tree

we saw some KFC earlier while walking towards the tree, none of us remember where it was

so i said, if it is our fate to eat the KFC, we ll run into it again

So we did!

Yea and It was close to the grand central station

Now then we just went back to our place and rest for the night

On the 31st,

I was battling with myself between going to Time Square or not since there were just many people and the terrorist works on holidays...

At last I gave in, and went to Time-Square with K around 7.00pm, other stayed home

But by the time I got there... time square was already filled with 1000+ people

I got into the 7th ave on 58th street (12 streets from the actual time square)

So yes i saw the ball

.. it was ahh.. ... . like a dot?

anyways, the people were still flowing in, and i got closer and closer!

i got to 54th street in 2 hours!

Cool huh? 30 mins a street?

I and K talked about leaving again and again.. but none of us did anything since noone wants to make THE DECISION ... so we do what every good students would do when they have 2 choices left in a an exam question....

We Fliped a coin..

 

It turns out, we should go.

 So we did, and before i leave, I did what i have to do!

YES! I AM A ROCK STAR!! =)  (apparently i can keep moving forward by getting out of the crowed just no one knew)

So we got out and we kept on walking back to the apartment,

but we saw this balls thing, which i donno what you call em (u know to decorate a tree?)

so we took picture and apparently, it came out quite well =)

Last look at the ball across the street, 

See that blue color dot? thats the ball...

Then we went back, got a beer and down a vodka counting for new year!

Happy new year to those who are reading!!

We decided to leave on first on Jan

So we did

we left NY on 1st at 1.30 pm

The bus was supposed to take 26 hours
and reached appleton by 3.20 pm of 2nd

well, we missed that by a bit,

we got to appleton by 11.00pm of 2nd

long story short, it was one hell of a ride,

However, the feeling of being home again is SO GOOD!

I nearly CRY!

As soon as i saw the familiar setting of my room undisturbed

"It is over!"

As great as it feels to be back, I have also collected a lot of good memories and pictures and knowledge that would otherwise never been told to me.

I felt really good about the whole trip and thank you all for reading this.

I probably not going to update this blog any more

However, it is possible that next week I and K will go down to Milwakee for some motocycle show

If i do, I will post those here too.

Cheers!

Thanks for reading, any comments or question, please let me know.

Byte,

My apology

It has been pretty long since my last update, and I am really sorry for that
I actually had a chance to update it but then I was sick and didnt feel like updating otherwise the blog might sound really sad=)

anyways, I am still not able to update anything right now, but just stay put
 I am pretty sure I can do it by sunday.

here is a brief catch up
We went from maimi to oralando
then we went to Columbia but the timing was quite off, so we decided to skip it to dc

after 26+ hours we got to DC and since the timing was still off, we only stayed there a day and didnt get to go around....

then we left for newyork
here we celebrate the new year!
and today is 1st
we are heading back to Appleton as I am writting it

Yep I am on Greyhound bus
YES IT HAS WIRELESS INTERNET!!!
I knowwww!! SOoooooOO cool!! right?
and it also have a plug outlet so i can keep using this laptop for as long as i please, or as long as i am on the road...

but since my laptop is under the bus.. i borrowed deepak's laptop

thus no pictures and i didnt want to go too deep in what happened
so stay put until sunday!

I will be back with full flavor stories!
