I miss USA


i miss my slave costume.. hehe.. server apron looks much better than the SA apron :p



top above: Chef Jack Royals; above: Alan and Leslie (both darlings i miss)


i miss the blue blue big skies of Yellowstone..

it had been around 48 hrs since i stepped off the plane at Taiwan's Taoyuan Airport..


i feel:


bored


empty


dissappointed


yearning to go home..





had always been looking foward to go to Taiwan.. someplace to mai dongxi chi dongxi etc.. budden i think lei.. nothing so much special about here.. this place makes me wanna go back home asap.. i had seriously considered the possibility of flyin back a few days earlier. damn i do miss home now..





missing US loads..


start to miss the people in yellowstone.. those cool and sweet ppl i had been working with for the past weeks b4 i started my travels. miss the cool dry air there.. miss the picturesque sceneries around.. everywhere i turn i see something pleasing to the eye.. the skies were true blue.. with greenery all around... i now even start to miss the thermal features.. the BISONS there.. oo damn i miss my Mercury Grand Marquis.. hahaha..


it is the feeling there i miss.. the feeling of being free.. the vastness.. the idea of juz sitting at one corner doing nothing.. staring into space seems so appealing to me now.





miss the people..


miss the strange and goofy people there..


miss the sentimental and kindered spirits i found there..





i know i can't live there forever.. obviously..


juz.. missing that place.


that company i had..





that moment

11 more days in Yellowstone


Blogger: mi travelog - Create Post
wow
it has been 8-9 weeks here in yellowstone..
time passes so fast over here.. can't believe that i m leaving in barely 11 days.. and I barely touched the 80GB of stuff i brought in my external hd to kill my boredom over here.
boredom?
hahaha..
no time for me to get bored over here.. if I had the time to get bored.. i guess i would juz b too tired to do so.. sleep is a much better alternative.. plus.. there are simply too many things to do over here already..

feeling a bit melancholy now.. people are starting to take pictures in the EDR cuz they will be leaving in the next few days.. bit by bit.. familiar faces start to filter out.. day by day.. comes the day I would have to leave this place.. it is not easy i think..
Although work here sux.. the food in the EDR sux.. some ppl sux... but the overall feeling and the place is simply too amazing to take the before-mentioned into acc. I may not be coming back to work again.. but i think i would come back again.. as a middle class tourist.. joining the long snaking line in front of the Old Faithful dining room for lunch.. and tell my server that day that i was actually working there a few yrs back.. *falls back into YY-ing*

btw:
just posted up the advertisement to sell off our car.. imagine this. we bought the car for USD600.. we are now asking USD1600 for it~ hahaha.. i dun think we can sell it at such high a price but i guess we would surely be selling it over 600 :D think i would get more $$ to shop later on.. hehehe...

p/s: i need to get another luggage to put my stuff in. :D
*dad: dun faint when u see this.. hehehehe*

The Cody Stampede.. kinda interesting to see ppl being bucked off their horses/cows .. and of course.. the smell of dung..
