Visit to 1 of the 7 wonders of the world - Grand Canyon!
and so comes monday whereby the fair is closed and we can't afford to waste anytime =) To Grand Canyon we go~
Booked a usd160 day tour. I know it's kinda ex but we can't help it =( it's a 4-hour drive there and another 4-hour drive back so I don't think Stacy or I can do that long hours of driving. Plus we don't know the way too!
It is part of the day tour to go to sedona and oak creek canyon. Nice =)
The bridge which is no longer in use...
Looks like I'm taking a photo with a painting right?
See colorado river?
Looks like another photo with a painting right? Yeah everything just looks fake but it's real! Just like what I saw on tv~
I'm at the top of the world =p
No prize for guessing who's this man trying to rescue me - My guide cum driver cum narrator! I don't know if it's considered lucky or not but I was sitting at the front seat beside the driver throughout the whole trip. Fortunately, the guide is really funny and he enjoys talking to me but unfortunately, I can't sleep during the road trip cos he keeps waking me up at every minute to talk to me or show me some scenery -_-
One last photo before I say goodbye =)
Kelvin came to pick us from the hotel after our trip and Mark invited us to their bbq. American's bbq is nothing like ours! They have only got burger, baked beans and never ending amount of BEER! I miss satay, chicken wings, crab meat, sting rays and you-name-it =(
Woke up the next morning and decide to take a photo of my bed!
and my tiny private room too!
The living condition here, like I said, is a lot better =)

My new job in Phoenix, Arizona
Woah, I've abandoned this blog for more than a month. So much to update!
1st of all, I've gotten myself a new job and here's how it works:
Yes, I'm back to working at fairs again =) but this time round, I'm renting out strollers, wagons, wheelchairs and electric scooters. I can't help it but always find employment in fairs cos throughout the whole time I've been working in fairs! I met this boss in Indianapolis when our truck was parked next to their RV.
Since he only needed 2 person at a time. Waping and peiyi came to work for 10days 1st while me and stacy travel. After which we'll come and replace them to work and they will travel. It is kind of neat =)
Well anyway, you would have noticed that this is can be quite a boring job when no one comes to rent anything from me so this is how I kill time:
Haha I set up a comfy environment with tv such that I can watch dvds during work. It is part of the job to kill time =) Good life huh? Which job pays you to watch 10 episodes of Prison Break during a work day.
Hmmm but don't think that all is easy ok? The place we are at is a desert. A DESERT mind you! So in the day it's freaking hot and it feels like anytime u'll get a heat stroke but at night, you just feel like putting on your winter wear. Yes, it is that extreme. My skin is so dry and I have to drink so much water!!!
Ok another good thing about this job is that the trailer we are living in is way better than what we had in the previous job. We have stove, microwave, fridge, oven and even a toilet to use! So of course I have to make good use of it and here's curry for all 4 of us =)
That's basically it. One day i'll watch dvd and the next day I'll use the internet on wanping's laptop cos me and stacy are working at different gates and only one gate has wireless. Oh I miss my travel days just before I came here =( D.C, Boston, Montreal, Vermont(to visit Ben & Jerry's Factory) and Nigara Falls. I really enjoyed myself for the 10 days and it was the 1st time I saw snow!!! Shall blog about it soon. Hope wanping and peiyi have an enjoyable and safe trip!
