Good airplane food from Thai Airlines :D

Hollywood Walk of Fame

Turkey sandwich! I miss :(

Schmitt Music Mural*

Downtown Minneapolis

 Minnesota State Fair

To me, the States is made up mainly of two things: Mouthwatering food (served in HUGE portions) and the friendliest of people! :) But of course I'm just saying that because I didn't get the chance to see the arts :(
As much as I would hate to go through American airports again (LAX was ridonkulous), I need to go to New York at least once a year before I die. Broadway musicals!

*I spotted the mural while in the van going to Target downtown for the first time. We sped past the building and I hadn't acted quick enough to take my camera and snap some pictures. I asked my family if they saw the mural as well, but it turns out they were paying attention elsewhere. I was pretty bummed as I thought I had missed the opportunity to get some shots of the mural. Thank the Gods (Percy Jackson reference), we went to downtown Target again, and the mural was only within walking distance! \(^-^)/ What a sight.
A little background about the mural: Schmitt Music Company (also known as Schmitt's) got it's start in 1890 when Paul A. Schmitt moved to Minneapolis from New York City. He founded Schmitt Music Company in 1926. This building became an unofficial landmark when Robert P. Schmitt (the son of Robert A.) decided to beautify one of the large exposed exterior brick walls.

The pictures above were taken in LA and Minnesota (Hi Marshall!)

Bali

Garuda Wisnu Kencana

Ulundanu Water Temple

Some pictures I took during my Bali trip in early August this year.

My only complain about this trip was that we were following a tour group that took us only to places which stood for Bali's steeped culture and tradition. That would have been fine, but how many temples can you go to in 4 day? I mean, we visited temples and religious sites a few times each day during our stay there but didn't get our fair share of Bali's vibrant nightlife! And every night when we returned to the hotel I'd be too exhausted to go have a look myself :(
We didn't even get to go to the beaches! :(

Sigh.

Nevertheless, I can't complain much. Bali is such a gorgeous place, especially its architecture! Every corner you turn you'd find yourself staring in amazement at the wonderfully designed buildings, old and new.

Definitely a place I wouldn't mind going to again. I just know better now and if I do go back, it'll probably be with a group of buddies :)
