Visit to the watchtower

On our way there to the watchtower.

Me and Mei Lan


Trying to climb the canyon


The Ruins

Beautiful scenery from the hole

At my workplace now which is called Maswik Lodge. Working as a cafeteria attendant here, serving food. Beginning to get bored of it. "p That aside my off day today and still lots of beautiful photos to upload, so wil make the best out of the stable connection now before the crowd comes in at dinner time. Freaking a lot of people now because of Memorial Day celebration. "p


View of the canyon behind us. Looks fake right?


The animal that scared the shit of out us at night. That's the real life size.






Went for a sunset tour earlier last week. Here's some photos.



The small stretch of river you see on the left is the Colorado river. Hopefully we'll make our way there on one of our off days together.

















Next up funny photos up at the watchtower!!

Stinky mules (cross between a horse and a donkey), hate walking pass them. "p

All the way from Grand Canyon Part 1

The 3rd day in Grand Canyon, or affectionately known as GC. It was a mad rush from boarding the plane in Singapore until arriving in GC. The flights were so awfully long most of us were so glad when we got to Pheonix. 4 hours flight to Taipei, immediate transfer to a 11 hours flight to LA, then another 1 hour domestic flight to Pheonix. Took 20 hours to travel, including transit time. So glad to touch down man, and glad is a total understatement. Took the local bus service which arrived at Flagstaff at 2am before resting there for the night.


Baby & Orh-orh on the plane for the 1st time!


The sunset view from the plane


Cute little girl that sat in front of me. Loves peekaboo.


The gang in LA


1st meal in US









The 2nd day was administration at Flagstaff, travelling to GC and more administration at GC. Most of us were dead beat by the time we were done with the day. Anyway Flagstaff is a quiet, old town which Route 66 passes through, nothing exciting over there but with interesting old shops.


Pink Mustang!


"Hi, Loser"


HK's Church


Peeing by the road


Trying to mail Leon away (head's too big can't fit!!)


Magic School Bus!








3rd day (Tuesday) was the final part to the admin, after which we travelled around the canyon for photos. The most exciting part was that it snowed!!! Yes!! For a true Singapore-grown child, nothing beats seeing cold white snow. Snow-fight, snowman, smoky breaths and frostbites. All part of the package. Wrapped up in layers of thin clothes and jackets, I was totally unprepared for this weather, since I had signed up for summer travel, not winter. I’ll let photos do the talking. :)


Snowy morning


Ice-cream!


Snow angel in the making (freezing butt in the making too)

Snow-fight!


Taking the leap!
