Back from my US trip
Hello everyone!
First of all, let me say - a Happy New Year and wish that all of you will have a wonderful and great 2007!!!
Back from the US last week and finally have some time to blog about the trip. The trip was fantastic! Took many photos (although not as many as compared from the China trip in June but I'm very satisfied and happy with them).
I'm very happy that I brought the D80 along with this trip. Else with my PnS (S45), I don't think it will be very successful. A friend suggested that I place my pictures at Picasa Web Albums. I think I will do that. Check out the link afterwards. I will post some of my nice pictures here...
Here are my comments from the trip:
1) Wonderful food! I have never tasted pork and chicken that nice before. The portions were also pretty huge. 2 persons can share a main meal. We ordered a couple of apertizers, a main meal and maybe a dessert for sharing.
2) I've never tipped so much before! We had to leave a tip (about 20% of the total bill) at every restaurant or diner we ate at.
3) Attractions were pretty expensive! Taking the elevator to the top of the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Building just to see the day and night views of New York City were quite expensive. But you had to do it since you are already there. So no choice...
4) People are nice to you! The Americans seem to be nicer people compared to those from the UK and Australia. At least they treated anyone who passes through the customs at the airport fairly (unlike the other 2 countries). I was asked as many questions as the caucasian guy in the next counter before I passed through.
Anyway, check out the pictures and the weblink coming soon...
