things have been good since getting to san frans, i made some frens. when i walked out of the customs, i bump into these 2 guys whom i felt i shld try to get familiar with, paul & jianlong. I was repaid well, thru them i got to know 4 others, first was kangwei & ailing, then wang lin & xiao dan.
knowing them relieved me of the feeling of being alone and immediately i was feeling happier. although we had to spend the nite at airport for the transfer, we had a pretty good time exploring the airport compounds together. the result was a great find, a 24 hrs subway which has a promotion price from 12am to 4am. 2 footlongs for only 9.99USD, which adds up to only 5 USD per footlong, which adds up to 2 meals, which is SUPER SUPER worth it!! :)
the first 4 people i met were all from NUS final yr engine students. initially they were together with me then we realised our final flight to bozeman had different timings which meant we could be at different villages, which is kindda sad. So i'm left with the 2 gals, wang lin is from SMU 1st yr and Xiao dan NTU Final yr. So we have a conglomerate of ALL Unis in SG. hahaa.. All 7 of us took quite a few pictures together, loads of fantastic mountains in my pictures, i'm definitely going to blow the limit of my photo space in fotopic, i wonder if i shld buy more space, hmmmm....
At san frans, there was no free internet but there was still reception on my auto-roam phone. At bozeman, there isnt any auto-roam AT ALL!! That's a huge proof that the place is RURAL. had my social security application done and job allocation done. I'm in the gift shop as a retail staff, how cool is that? hehee.. the best thing is that it's different from the usual housekeeping and i'll most likely get to meet lots of people. Challenging, exciting and getting kindda scared and shivery now... :p
Anyway, i'll be ending up at Old Faithful, which is kindda cool cos that place supposing has internet access and great view. BUT, i'll be staying at mammoth for 2 days for a training session. I'll only go to Old Faithful after that. I'm on the way to mammoth now. I'm typing this on the bus in advance. :)
HELLO YELLOWSTONE!!
Finally found a way to get online. I'm now in my dorm in Mammoth, same thing, no Hp recep but luckily we have wireless here. Otherwise i'll feel so so so disconnected. Had my first meal in yellowstone, we were late so there wasnt much food left, so it wasnt really fantastic. I got to know a few people, whom i'll be training with. Really have to get to know loads of people really quickly. Everyone seems to know everyone!! It's a really small town at mammoth, 5 mins walk and it's one end to the other end. Will post some photos about mammoth tml. Meanwhile, it's time to sleep.
