DAYS IN SANDUSKY

-tang-



second day in sandusky,
- to the human resoures center, doing all the document thingy and going in cedarpoint for our first time
- went to wallmart, sundusky mall , target
- went bact to the hostel around 5pm and ..... SLEEP..

matt went back to the room at 7.30pm
wenyi slept at 9pm
joey and me slept at 10.30pm

yeah.. the day just ended like that..

it sound brief but many things happen in the day.
tons of unexpected incident happen
more like a culture shock

- welll... the most surprising culture shock i think is the car will actually stop or us when v crossing our road . AND all of us was like using it as an advantages and crossing the road as if matt's grand dad own it.
and the road and driver seat is all terbalik and we keep on looking at the wrong side of the road. lucky we the drivers here stop for us while we cross the road.

- we went to mc donald and there is variety of food compare to the malaysia's mc donald, and everyone need to clean the tray b4 they leave. ( yeah we actualy did tht too, malaysia culture stand no change in here)

- strangers come up to us and talk to us unexpectedly. well of course we acted as if it is normal get in to play as well. yeah it never happen in malaysia .

-yeah cleveland is fill with orang tua .. everywhere we went, we will saw orang tua. i think all the youngster is actually from the cedar point.

and and and ... the mall .. unlike malaysia everything is in a mall .. for example mid valley, food clinic, supermarket and other stall is in the mall.
but here .. the supermarket is at one end of the road while the restourant is located at the other end of the road and the bank is far end of another place. so walking to each place took lots of time. that is why people here have car and they travel everywhere with cars. and mall here only have single floor(we actually did try to find escalator to the first floor, yeah it sound stupid)

so thats all for these few day of experience
will be update more about it

Live From America!


-matt-

we're here!! (after a really REALLY long flight, imagine seeing day-night and day back again!! )

reached cleveland airport bout 9.30pm from our chicago transit. was clueless on how to get to sandusky from cleveland when a good samaritan at the airport set us up with a colombian guy and gave us a really good taxi rate. after waiting for abour 45minutes we got into the taxi and off we went!!

after an hour or so we reached sandusky, at our hostel (its called commons here).

our first impressions

choonwah's : "it looks like some penjara"
wenyi's : "gelaps and putihs everywhere ah?"(yeah, that what we call them.BM is officially our secret language)
joey's : "its freezing cold"
i think i better not post up what i felt! hahaha...
dont get me wrong cuz the place wasnt that bad!

it wasnt until we checked in.
we couldnt choose our rooms so..



ALL FOUR OF US ARE LEFT WITH SEPARATE ROOMS LIVING WITH STRANGERS!!

got our keys and we went our separate ways....(well for the night at least)

oh and btw choonwah here is known as C.W. (we're all laughing our asses off right now cuz we're picturing THIS!!)
alright until then!!

Jetlag.

-wen.yi-

So from Singapore we hung out for 8 hours until our next flight which is Singapore->Tokyo (6 hours)
The narita airport is freakin clean and we've tried sushi from Japan! yeay!

All the videos are so embarassing!




Transit in Tokyo was like 2 hours...and the next flight was to Tokyo->Chicago which is a GRUESOME 11 hour flight.
and the messed up time zone!
Picture this - you leave Tokyo on the 27th, 4pm...then you arrive Chicago at 27th, 4pm. -__-||




And finally it was an hour flight from Chicago to Cleveland.
If you noticed the videos, our excitement from KLIA was dying till we didn't wanna do it anymore in Cleveland.

Oh yea..after Cleveland its an hour (or more) car ride to Sandusky.
kk..lemme simplified it for you in Malaysian time. We left KL on the 26th at 9.45pm and officially arrive in Sandusky on the 28th at 11am. So imagine the jet lag.

Cedar Point - Day 1
We processed in and couldn't start work yet so we walked around the park





*We're updating this at the same time so there might be multiple post..so keep refreshing!
*WHATEVER MATT SAID IN THE OTHER POST ABOUT ME IS MADE UP!
