Seattle

i didnt know i would have the time to blog, but since i'm not going out anywhere today, i'll blog a bit.
but no photos btw, coz i'm lazy to upload them.
so i reached here on the 1st of Dec (seattle time). it's 16 hours later than Malaysia's time.
I left Changi airport at 1pm, reached Taipei at 5.30pm. the flight was okay, the landing was so smooth.
then we had to transit to another flight to Seattle, but we had to wait at the airport for 5 hours.
it was boring. i listened to some music, read for awhile. there were computers to used there, but the connection was so damn slow.
i organized some files in my phone while watching MVs that were played in a shop at the airport.
it was 2ne1's mv and Kara and SNSD and Super Junior!!!
then at 11pm, we boarded the plane and had a 10 hours flight to Seattle.
it was so uncomfortable in the plane, like omg! i couldnt sleep at all.
so i just kept watching movies. i watched some great movies like the taiwan movie, Taiwan Exchange, and a Japanese movie.
my back was so pain at the end of the flight.
and my uncle Tuck came and meet us at the airport and took us back to his place by bus.
i actually kinda got a culture shock at 1st.
bcoz it's so different from Malaysia! the ppl, transport, shopping.
here, ppl are so friendly, wherever you go, ppl will be saying, Hi, how are you? are you okay?
and on the streets, there'll be drunkards, druggies, and homeless ppl asking you for money.
it's scary. but usually only at night. it's nicer during day time.
but since it's winter now, the sky gets dark by 4 or 5pm.
it's not very cold, mayb becoz my coat keeps me warm. i think the lowest i've experience until now is 5 degrees celcius.
and ppl here have many different accents, there's so many ppl from many different places, so it's hard to understand what ppl are saying sometimes.
ytd, my uncle took leave from work to bring us around downtown.
i woke up at 11am i think. i didnt get any jet lag. mayb coz i didnt sleep well for the past few days.
ate cereals for breakfast and left the house at 12nn.
the weather was great, it was sunny! but when the wind was strong, it would be cold.
we went to chinatown 1st. then we went to the 1st Starbucks! i drank a cup of hot chocolate.
it was nice, coz it kept me warm. but there's so many Starbucks here.
then we went to have lunch. the serving was so big! i couldnt finish my rice.
then we went shopping! we went to Macy's first. i bought a t-shirt for only 4USD! even when u convert to RM, its still cheap! ppl here are so lucky to have so many cheap stuff.
then we went to Pacific's Place to see fake snow! it was actually soap.
i saw a lot of branded stores like Tiffany & Co., Barneys (!), Micheal Kors, Victoria's Secret.
then we went to Old Navy to buy gloves becoz our hands were freezing most of the time.
but ppl here dont wear gloves bcoz it's inconvenient when u want to use ur phone and take things.
we had greek food for dinner. and went home.
i'll update more another time. now i want to go watch tv. but it's all from the internet, bcoz my uncle's place doesnt have an aerial.
