After almost 21 hours of being on an airplane, and spending 8 hours in transit in Minneapolis (all together 29 freaking hours!), I finally arrived in Regina! That photo was taken when i was in Minneapolis. Visited America's largest mall, The Mall Of America. Nope its not the largest in the world! The biggest mall is in Edmonton, Canada, its 10 hours drive from Moose Jaw (where i am) and 2 hours from Cold Lake (where i will be in 6 months time).
And so we had our first mess session and we were invited to this bar hopping trip where the canadians hired a coach that will take us to Regina (1 hour away) and club. So on the way, people were checking out the scenery on top of the bus, while it was travelling at 100+km/h on the highway. When we arrived at Regina, this Canadian guy was like "Singaporeans! Come!" "Singaporean 1 go up!" and Singaporean 1 happened to be me. I climbed up and he continued "Singaporean 1, Go forward!" And so i ended up at the front of the bus. It wasn't that scary cos the bus was probably travelling at 20-40 km/h. And the picture below will xplain what happened to Gerald. Picture kindly donated by KwanYi
And this photo was taken before we went to the Casino. Still smiling before casino by the way.
But really, people should look at Casino as a form of entertainment. Like i gave myself 50dollar limit at the Casino, and i went up at my peak +100 dollars. However, though at the end i went to 0 dollars, meaning losing 50, i dun feel the pinch cos i actually felt i paid for good entertainment. If everyone thought of it this way, there wil not be social problems associated with gambling!
So what do the foreigners think of us?
1 British Guy "I love Singaporeans! When they can really really be trusted. " and he goes on about how he asked this 2 previous singaporean students here to go Edmonton (10 hours away remember). When he called them they were already there and stuff. "Unlike people who i know back home, singaporeans will say truthfully what their intentions are. if they go, they will so yes. If they don't want to go, they will say No."
Another Canadian "I love singapore! The city never sleeps" well. cos shops close early here.
"I'm amazed. A country so small having such a big airforce. Reminds me of Israel."
Bet the Queen didn't see this coming.
