SanDiego

(pictures; SanDiego zoo, giraffes, Sea World, Shamu show, the bay (peeking upskirt tho), midway USS maritme museum, old town, and your AH GONG's root beer!)

Accomodation- USA hostel on 5th Ave. I think the hostel is quite all right. Looks rather newer than the one that i stayed in San Francisco. At least i dont have to drag my luggage a mile from the bus stop!..The location is great. Right in the middle of downtown. Nightlife is good. With all the restaurants and pubs right at your doorstep. Nothing could be better.

Day1- Arrived around 4pm. Was pretty hot tho its like 25 deg C...(jialat..wheni go back to i wiill sure die..cannot stand the hot weather...). Then we went to the nearby shoopping areas like the Westfield Horton PLaza as my friend eve desperating want to buy some clothes...Welll again, she cant find the size for her...in the end..i bought a levis jeans for 20usd at urban outfitters....so in the end we just spent walking the streets and head back to the hostel.

Day2- Started our day by heading to the well known San Diego Zoo. Well...i always tot that Mandai Zoo in SIngapore is not very attractive..KInd of small..but after i tour the Zoo..actually..Mandai Zoo is comparable to it..in fact the zoo back home can considered to be one of the best...Kind of the wow factor is not there when i toured the San diego ZOo...most of the animals showcased here is the same back home..except that they have bigger roaming areas..Nonetheless its kind of an experience. Then we headed down to Balboa Park next to the Zoo. IF you are a museum and arts lover, the spanish village and the museums in the park will attract you i guess..welll the museums is also super X..lar..13 usd..kaoz...Then we headed to Uptown in Hillcrest in after lunch...hoping to go to uptown plaza to shop..In the end..its not a shopping center..but just a like plaza to get your grocery and stuff...Disappointing!!! We headed back to downtown and walked the bay. Actually, i quite like the bay area cause its not so crowded compared to fisherman wharf..BUT the scenery of San Francisco is nicer to me..so if i can have the leisure of walking in an uncrowded st on a clear day, with the scenic views of San Francisco bay...wah..that would be awesome....Then we headed to LIttle Italy which is kind of next to the bay..well..nth much there..just Italian pubs, cafe and restuarants...

Day3- Went to the SEA WORLD..ITs awesome..so much better than the san diego zoo..(i think you can skip the zoo) and spent the money at the sea world instead. ITs super x la..65 usd for admission but we got ours at hostel so its like 57 bucks..SPent like 3/4 of the day there...Went for most of the rides and the Journey to Altantis is the nicest lar..the rest are much for the kids..not much of a thrill...but still is way better than the zoo...Enjoy the show by the killer whale very much...well they called it SHAMU..prepared to get wet!!!..dun wear shoes if not you will be walking with wet shoes the whole day!..After which we went to Old Town.. Its kind of an old mexican town..lots of tourists...took a gentle stroll down the town....paid 6 bucks to enter this museum called Whaley. Well is so called the haunted house....but guess we went it like ard evening when its still bright..so...there is no 'lin li shi jian'..Its really a SMALL house...but if you go to old town at night..maybe you might wanna go and see if you spot a ghost!..Then off to Fashion Valley! Well..its a big shopping center apart from downtown San Diego. So if you finding a place to shop...its the place then...=)...

That concludes the short trip in SanDiego..well..there are lots of other places that i have not been to tho..one is the USS MIdway martime musuem located at the bay...its a fleet carrier with all the planes parked on top of it...Looks so cool on the outside!!...and i think its a lifetime experience to get on board and see what's inside an sea carrier..and take a picture in the plane..(i dont know whether navy open house let you get on board a ship or not....)
