San Diego

San Diego's the start of the crazy slackers' trip(those who were brave to skip the first week of school). And it turned out to be the best part of our trip! Shows in seaworld were nice, the zoo was good and the beaches were great! It 's a much better place than Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Not being too touristy, San Diego downtown gives you a more "homely" feel. A very nice place to sit down and relax at the beaches. Anyway our first night was spend at usa hostels. And like the Los Angeles usa hostel, we were split up. We were of course not happy about it since I had specifically booked one room 6 people. SO we decided to stay one night and look for accommodation elsewhere. Wenchun told us about priceline and we decided to give it a try. I jokingly put 100usd for a 4star and above deluxe hotel( a normal budget hotel could cost that much already). And guess what? We got Omni Hotel, a 5 star hotel in downtown! haha. It was great and by squeezing 6 pple, we actualli paid less than if we were to stay at the hostel. Big room, cable tv, nice bed and free wireless!

GasLamp quarters in downtown. The restaurants have these gas lamps outside to keep customers warm. Forgot to take a picture of the gaslamps though.



Dinner at Friday's. Shrimp and chicken. It was good!


Toilet of our 5 star hotel.

No joke man, The dolphin really jumped very high over the rope.



Pics from San Diego Zoo


Very nice looking wolf. Wish I could have it as pet. haha



Ah Meng???



We had a breakfast at Hash House, a famous place for brunch in San Diego. We had to wait like erm...40mins? to get seated. The food was good and the servings were huge.



Just look at the size of the pancake man!



Old Town San Diego. A fire broke out here before the residents moved to downtown.


Yes yes! Indication that it's Spring!


Joyce and Floris. The sign says "City's Best 2007 Pizza"


The "Best" pizza. It was ok but not realli fantastic.

Pacific Beach

Sunset@Coronado island






Sunset in San Diego was really beautiful!!!



We bought a whole Godiva Chocolate cheesecake from Cheesecake factory! It was damn nice!


But one cake was too much for 5 of us. It became a torture towards the end. It was super sinful as well! I think each of us had like 1500 calories!
