Las Vegas

Here is the compilation of Las Vegas' trip last summer in June 2010.
Las Vegas trip was great and I had fun and chances to widen my vision. Of coarse the vision widened was refering to the structures in Las Vegas and its unique designs.



Really appreciate that my brother for planning such fantastic trip for us when visiting to the America after his graduation.

Nevada

Welcome to the state of Nevada!
A trip to Las Vegas from San Jose takes about 9 hours of drive. Honestly, your ass is going numb in these hours. From books I read how the authors describe the desert as. It is exactly what you see as how they describe it as! I was excited to see windmills built on the hills of the desert.

Here are some photos on the desert and the windmills.


To be continued with Las Vegas' Trip!

Cheesecake Factory

We had our lunch at Cheesecake Factory in Valley Fair Mall on the next day as the celebration for my brother's graduation together with his girlfriend as well. The dishes there were very nice and delectable! The service they gave was awesome too!


Group photos.


I barely able to memorize what all the dishes are named but I do remember the cheesecake introduced by the waiter. The cheesecake is called Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake.
It tastes so so good!

Brother's Graduation! (Part 2)

My brother's Graduation was held in Spartan Stadium on the next day, part of the San Jose State University Campus. That day was sunny, the skies are clear and you are able to see planes landing and departing the state.



Families and friends gathered and took their seats as they arrived at the Spartan Stadium.



While Pa, Ma, and I were all sitting just right at the back of where my brother will be sitting at in the field. My brother, Murphy, were graduated from SJSU in the field of Finance under Business.



Let the photos describe the happy and awesome happenings at the cherishable flashbacks!



That was the day I seen my brother with his most beautiful and natural smile as he had achieved one of his target in his life. CONGRATULATIONS to you again, my brother!

Brother's Graduation! (Part 1)

"Congratulations on your Graduation, brother!
You had made it! We are so proud of you and most importantly,
we love you!" - Your Family

My brother's Graduation was held in the morning in San Jose State University's campus. We woke up early that night and rushed to the event after my brother who had leave the apartment earlier. We managed to buy flowers that can be hung on the neck before we checked in.


Graduates and guests gathered in the hall of the graduation ceremony.


That's my brother, Murphy!


Took family photos for this awesome and cherishable memory. You look perfectly great and smart, my brother.


The brothers. (:

Walk Around In San Jose

It was the day after our arrival to California, United States of America. I woke up earlier than my family and decided to walk around my brother's apartment nearby. The weather was so chilling in the morning. The environment was so different as you compare with asia. The arrangement of the houses, roads, traffics, and so on.


The apartment in the nearby neighborhood across the street I walked by.


When everyone was awake later in the morning, my brother brought us to have a walk in part of his university's campus. The concrete building is the caterer's, student office's, and some other purposes.


In front of the structure, there are a row of seats and tables. Like what we see in the movies, students are able to revise or have their meals there under the tree and the chilling weather.


The building of Engineering.


We had our lunch in the late afternoon at Fresh Choice located at the north zone in Great Mall, Milpitas. Talk about Great Mall, the designs of the mall are different than the malls in local. Store by stores with a walkway are built indoors on the ground with no multilevel.


The Century Theatres in Great Mall. A shop almost a day in the mall brings quite numerous fun despite suffering from jetlag. You will be very amazed by the prices and qualities you see there than here.

First Step In United States

Our flight was transferred at Tao Yuan International Airport in Taiwan. The airport was still under renovation. It was huge and there were quite a numerous shops in it. After waiting for the flight transfer for 4 hours, we finally able to check in into our flight to San Francisco, California.


Tao Yuan International Airport.


There are shops selling liquors, clothes, souveniors, foods, and so on. Here is one of the shop selling books, magazines, and souveniors. The shop was so tidy and clean.


We landed in San Francisco in the evening, where we were warmly welcomed by my brother - Murphy and his girlfriend in the airport. Again the San Francisco Airport was so huge that have many but countable terminals. We met up my brother's friend and decided to have dinner together in Milpitas Square's Won Kee Chinese Restaurant. The dishes served there were very delicious. We headed back for rest after we had our dinner at 9 something.
