YooooooHoooo..hah that's what my US tour guide shouted when she wanted us to gather..she's highly recommended btw..professional, responsible and considerate. Rarely u come across a tour guide who's willing to forgo her own commission (she didn't want us to take optional tours..she gave us the tour foc, just that we go by public transport which is much cheaper and equally fast). Thumbs up for Veronica from CTC. And thumbs up for the group members who were in the same tour group..nice people

Anyway I'm not writing alot on my 2-weeks US trip..mainly photos..cox no matter how I describe, it's just not enuff to express how much fun I had and how impressive some of the scenic views are. So here goes.. --p/s: some photos are not uploaded yet so I made do with what I had on hand 1st while waiting for hj's and cs's photos and those on my hp.

Los Angeles - WALK OF FAME

:: where artistes' hand prints and foot prints are engraved on the ground. Saw Will Smith, Harry Potter, etc ::

Los Angeles - UNIVERSAL STUDIO

:: caught the 4d show of shrek. hah enjoyed the effects of the show where u experienced real smell and water. also went other shows like "It's tough to be a bug" and "Terminator" ::

:: took the tram ride to all the studios where movies and sitcoms were acted - - also where my camera died on me..will upload photos taken during the ride later ::

Los Angeles - DISNEYLAND! + CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE PARK

:: super excited on the morning of disneyland. It's like a childhood dream come true, fulfilling the desires and magical imaginations within the "child" me ::

:: took a mountain ride (need to recall the name) and a walk through the horror museum --the walk was nothing compared to the walk through the "house of horrors" in Universal Studio the day before. Scared out of our wits totally ::
