Oklahoma City - WEEK 1

HAHA! Surprise post! These updates are grossly late but since me has all the free time in the world before I find any proper employment, I feel obliged to post some pictures of the trip again before my poor memory fails me. Photos are mainly from my albums, although some are from the peeps in FB. I am having a serious case of OKC withdrawal now and if you are ready to join me, jump in!


Day 1







- Flights from Singapore to Narita to Minneapolis to Oklahoma with bunkmates + Nori.
- Survived over 10+ hours of flying sitting beside the barbarian.






- Reached Oklahoma at local time 3pm+. Camwhoring mode starts officially.

- First of many McDonald's dinners at nearby Walmart.



Day 2








- Happy with USD11 buffet breakfast at Biltmore.
- Cabbed to Marriott residency, where we call home for the next three weeks.
- Kitchen looks promising although there was no rice cooker (which came in the end!)

- Grocery shopping at Walmart. Rang a bill of USD191.

- Drowsy at 10pm+ and had the whole bed to myself (muahaha).

Not too sure about the two blokes snuggling on the sofa bed downstairs though.
