My last tour in the year of 2004

Went to LA, Las vegas and Grand Canyon. I have to say that my favourite place among those that i have just mention is none other than Grand Canyon! It's a place where there can be no duplication! It's really grand, i have to admit! The beauty of nature always awe me more than anything (when everything fails). I will definitely go back there at 12-3pm just to prove that my digi cam functions well!! No lah, i am going back there to enjoy the infinity sight of mysterious rock formation!

I didn't really like the USA like what i would have imagined. It's a really big country that everything seems afar from each other. I now realised that i love to travel to places where i can walk as in things are arranged in close proximity. LA in my eyes, i would like to stress again, in my eyes!!!, is only nice if you have all the money in the world. Who wouldnt like living in Beverly Hills, shop in Beverly Hills, dine in Beverly Hills????? But a lot of people simply just don't earn that much to live life extravagantly! The hierachy between the rich and poor is pretty obvious when you drive past Beverly Hills. How on earth some people can be that loaded and propertied!!!

Santa Monica was a nice place to go in exchange for a FULL attendance Disneyland! It has a beautiful beach and i witnessed a lovely sunset there! The seafood was excellent!

I know i am really spoilt at such tender age but i can't help it. I am just one of the lucky ones who get to travel to so many places even before my teenage ended! If only i wasn't pampered expecially during my lovely Japan trip, i wouldn't know how to make comparison between what is good and better!!!!

The name Disneyland itself is good enough to excite me after my TDL trip. However, there's just something that is missing during this Disneyland, CA. Is it the amusement park itself or my company? I really don't know! I have to admit i had a high expectation this time around. Not that i have not been warned that this Disneyland at Ca is also less superior to the one in Florida, but i really did hope that i will get to enjoyed it to the fullest! Overall, this Disneyland trip turned out to be like any other amusement park trip. It's missing the Disney spark! I wasn't turned into a child this time! However, the ride on the Splash Mountain that i missed in TDL was kind of a thriller! The Haunted Mansion was different thanks to the xmas deco. But the Cinderella castle, i think this is the main problem! It's not "grand" enough to be one! Somehow i think it feels like a small building@!!@ And Americans, obesity rate will only continue to grow as there are just too much of pop and fatty food served!!! One out of 3 adults that i saw in my trip has "abnormal" BMI! (But it might be normal for the americans :P ) I know what my heart tells now but it's better left unsaid.

Las Vegas, it's not that marvelous after all. Those casinos and hotels should have been built closer!!! If only they put the lights attractions closer to each other, i think every single visitor will be amazed by that. The visitors volume is pretty disappointing at this time of the year. The casino is as good as empty!

It's funny that i start to complain about my stay in Ramada Inn. It's really funny i would say. Who wouldn't complain if one has lived in a 6-star lodge! I really did try to say less. Believe for once, if you've never did!

Overall, it was a good trip. It's always nice to travel with close friends. If not because of them, i wouldn't go to LA though! I would have chosen to spend my time hibernating with my Step 1 book!!!
