Back from Philly
















Philly is nice. I'm glad I went. Philly has got very nice structure.

The buildings are huge and looks very ancient. I left house about 7:30am on sat. Alex drove Betul, Marjon and me to get the car. Nice...that was my first time driving a mini van. ^_^

So off we went to pick up the rest. Then we drove for about 3 hours before we reached our hotel. Thank God we got there and back safe and sound.

Betul was my navigator. The stress was on her to get us there!! haha...it was not an easy job being a navigator, but she did good... :)

After we checked in, we went for lunch. It was COLD....the wind was so strong...after lunch, we went walking around the central philly. We walked and walked and walked....















Does anyone recognise this? I was told that "Rocky" ran up on these steps!! haha..i've nv seen the movie "Rocky" though, so i didnt know. This is the Musuem of Art and we were told by the bus driver that Rocky was there 2 wks ago filming "Rocky VI". Heehee...

So much for the 1st day. Then on the 2nd day, we woke up early and went to the visitor centre to get tickets to go into the Independence Hall. That's the place where US becomes independent, i think :P We drove the car into central philly. And i was just 5 mins late to put more $$ in the meter and i got a ticket :( for USD20. What a great way to start the day...sigh....ohwell..

So we went to the independence hall and then i went back with salome to check out of the hotel. Then we went back to go to the Liberty Bell..a really big bell of significance....although i cant remmeber what :P heehee...short memory...


After the bell, we walked to South Street. It's supposed to be a famous street with makan plcs and shops...We were looking for plcs to eat and thought we should try philly cheesesteak since we are here. That's like the philly must have...kinda :P

There was this place called Jim's cheesesteak or something...the line was really really long and we were hungry and didnt want to wait that long, so we found another plc less crowded. It was good.. :) Nothing special but at least we tried it...heehee

Everyone was tired and we decided to go home...so we left Philly abt 4pm. A long drive back. I was tired, and didnt sleep well the night before...i can feel myself not concentrating as hard...but i tried to talk and keep myself awake...

So, it was back home to VA and nice bed... ^_^
