Winter Break 2011: Part 2

Assalamualaikum

Sebenarnya tadi dalam class banyak jugak mengelamun teringat kawan-kawan kat Intec
Sindrom tengok semua orang baru upload gambar winter break di Facebook mungkin
Kemudian teringat dekat dua orang kawan yang boleh dipeluk bila-bila masa - Eton and Izzati
So rasa nak update pasal Florida sikit lagi. Last part lah kot.

Jadi lepas balik dari Bahamas, kami pergi pula ke Key West
To be honest, kalau bukan kerana trip ni, Key West pun tak tahu apa
Yes I am a loser :S

Alright guys, presenting Key West FL, Paradise USA O.o
Sebenarnya Key West ni, like any other islands
Sama je, ada pantai, boleh mandi manda, bersukan dan sebagainya
Tapi apa yang buat Key West lain daripada pulau lain ialah dia adalah tempat paling selatan di USA
It is the home for southernmost point of USA

Ini adalah main picture spot untuk semua tourist yang datang ke Key West walaupun dia cuma satu monumen kaku yang berwarna warni. Apa yang menarik tentang monumen ni, tourist dekat sini educated. Untuk bergambar dekat monumen ni pun ada barisan yang sangat lurus lagi teratur walaupun takde sesiapa suruh. Good people good. 

Another picture spot di Key West, Mile 0 sign board. Seperti kanak-kanak noob, I didn't even understand why such signboards could attract tourists. Luckily ada mereka terangkan apa significant nya signboard ni geographically. Basically, Mile 0 ini adalah starting point untuk US Route 1, which is the major south-north US Highway. Highway ni bermula dia Key West dan habis dekat border US Canada dekat Maine, nun jauh di utara. Bayangkanlah berapa ribu batu panjangnya. Okay yang itu agak menarik.

Besides that kitorang juga pergi Ft Zachary Taylor Historical State Park, the southernmost state park in the US. This place is interesting and beautiful, bayaran masuk pun murah. Yes, I loike lawatan sambil belajar sejarah.

Our next destination was Universal Studios Orlando
Yes, I have been to Universal Hollywood before but obviously I don't mind going to Universal Orlando again because I wanna go the famous Wizarding World of Harry Potter!
Lagi pulak, dulu pergi Universal cuma 1 hari and so much things to do, so this time rasa nak relax sikit, so we bought 3 days pass. Okaylah I guess. No rushing at all and we had a good time.

To be honest, lawatan ke Universal Studios mungkin akan jadi sedikit bosan kalau kita dah pernah pergi mana-mana Universal Studios. Lawatan ke Orlando hari tu agak bosan pada hari yang pertama, which I went to Universal Studios production set. Mana taknya, almost all of the shows are pretty much the same, even the rides! For first timers, I bet they had so much fun, like all my friends from Iowa State. :)

Then here it is! The main attraction of Orlando, Hogwarts! As a fan of Harry Potter, memang rasa nak pengsan  sebab dapat masuk Hogwarts. Okay I am exaggerating. Tapi serious rasa sangat magical. With all those living pictures inside the castle, I must say that Wizarding World of Harry Potter sangatlah best. Kalaulah boleh transfer credit, dah lama apply Hogwarts. Tapi Hogwarts ada offer engineering ke? Yang di bawah ni adalah our only one group picture. I love this one. 

Tapi hari kedua adalah awesomeeee. Sebab ada Harry Potter! :D That is the only reason I wanna go to Orlando anyway. So puas lah hati. Lagi-lagi untuk orang yang tak berapa nak naik ride, like Izzati and I. Bila je pun dapat merasa nak pergi Hogsmeade and Hogwarts kan? Yang paling best in Orlando, I had the opportunity to spend so much time with my best roommate ever, Izzati :)

Since I am blessed with quite an average height for women, I am allowed to ride all the rides, but who cares! I don't do outdoor rides. I prefer to be the camerawoman when it comes to all those things. I guess people like it because I can take care of their stuffs while they go for the rides hehe. *Okay memang penakut pun. But that is the reason I love travelling with Eton and Izzati. Even Eton loves doing all those things, dia sangat supportive bila time nak naik rides, tak macam certain orang nak ejek-ejek penakut whatsoever. She holds my hand even on very simple rides. Izzati pun sama. See, thats why I love them so much :)

Kalau nak compare Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood, memang dua-dua ada kelebihan masing-masing. While Orlando has more interesting and challenging rides, I think Hollywood's show and filming sets are more exciting. In fact, I think Hollywood serves more toward educating people to film making compare to Orlando, which the main point is to make people having fun.

Since I know that Universal Studios will bring so much fun to all my sisters (especially Safiyyah the youngest one) I was thinking of bringing them to Universal Singapore. Yes, Piah has always been excited when she looked at my pictures with all animated characters. Nanti ada rezeki kita pergi eh Piah :)

Sebelum balik, we went to Miami. Oh ye Miami adalah bandar yang sangat mahal while takde banyak attraction sangat pun kecuali it is just another beach. Tapi menarik jugak sebenarnya pantai dia exclusive. Personally, I see Miami as the 'Little Vegas'. Dekat Miami mandi laut sikit lagi, enjoy the heat, makan kfc halal, and then head back to Ohio. Back to winter.

Basically thats all what I did during winter break
Now class baru start seminggu, tapi rasa macam dah start 9 minggu
Atikah tolong jangan buat perangai -,-
