Haven’t written in a while, as there’s nothing to really write about. So far in NYC we’ve walked through Manhattan a lot, going down to Times Sq a lot, through to Central Park. We did visit Central Park Zoo, not much to write about. They have polar bears in the open, and it’s like 29 [...]

For a city that ‘never sleeps’, everything closes on a weekday at 1am, with a few exception of some places being 24 hours or bars until 4am. I had a massive sleep in yesterday, did my laundry at a traditional chinese laundry and walked around the city at night. Finally got around to doing White [...]

First impressions of NYC: Parts of it ghetto, the subway is dirty but amazingly works, Times Square is massive and exactly what you expect… Tomorrow I think I will do some laundry and check out Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. Will upload photos tomorrow.

The internet at our hostel cost too much…
We landed in las vegas yesterday afternoon, a sharp change in temperature, from the windy cold 19 to hot hot heat of 32. The final day of SF was spent moving around Union Square, known to the locals for it’s shopping. I had advertured around before but never [...]

We booked for a tour for Alcatraz and Angel Island last week, after given advice from another hostel stayer who said that these tours get packed fast. Luckily we got into this tour, when we got there the sign said next available free tickets were a week away.
It was cold, with blistering arctic winds and [...]

My ass is on fire, but it was worth it. Today we spent the whole day riding through San Fran, from Union Square to the Piers, up Fort Mason then Fort Point, then over the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausilito. It was a long but awesome ride, and seeing San Fran this way is highly [...]

The first impressions of San Fran last night was good. From the 14 hour drive and blogging, crashed very quickly.
The morning was cold, scintillating winds, sharp air with a layer of fog and clouds on the buildings. Beautiful. The streets quickly reminded me of Melbourne, cable cars reminiscent of trams, power line structures graffiti over [...]

I try to update as soon as possible but sometimes it doesn’t work out. Right now I’m in San Fran on this crappy wireless that keeps dropping out, but at least it’s free. I’ll post up pictures later when I’m able to get a stable connection which doesn’t suck ass.
Yesterday we went to Universal Studios; [...]

Downtown LA was a mystery to me this morning. Using the power of the internet, I searched for “things to do in downtown LA” with some hits; Central Library, Fashion District and Chinatown. Using this information, we decided to wing the rest and just go.
The Library wasn’t too bad; it was 8 levels of library [...]
