bangla goes wild!

Welcome to Everglades National Park, Naples



Yup! Stop rubbing your eyes~!
You are really seeing Suen's parents in the photos! Aunty & Uncle came to visit for 3 weeks. They were really happening! Travelling from one place to another, nonstop! Suen and I had to work so we couldn't really tag along with them..we only manage to follow them to Naples and St. Augustine

Naples is such a beautiful place! A small fishing town with hundreds of boats 'parked' at the Naples dock. Uncle enjoys fishing alot and he kept saying that it is his dream to own a boat just like the ones out at the docks.



At Everglades, we took the airboat into the mangroves swamps to get a closer look at nature and.....real life alligators.
the view ...wow~
I thought that eating alligator nuggets was part of the airboat package but it turns out to be that we only get to hold them in our hands, not chew them in our mouths.


Suen & I practiced carrying soft toy alligators before the real thing...haha


Thanks Aunty & Uncle for the wonderful trip to Everglades!

bangla goes to miami!

wohoOo...


Will Smith's 'We're going down my alley (miami), Bienvenidos a mi alley'
still rings in my head everytime i think about miami...

7 hours car ride from orlando to miami




Thank God we survived!...

WELCOME TO MIAMI!


Miami South Beach


ohwow! so pretty ya?

......i meant the girls..not the beach...haha

the cookie so big, but the coffee cup so small

crazy Ang-mohs!

cute cuban coffee aka cuban crack.

no, we didn't smoke no crack, it's called cuban crack cause the coffee is sooooo strong after drinking it you feel a lil crack..haha

we were so fascinated by the cute cup and wanted to snap pictures of it. on the other hand, the guy who ordered the coffee was so fascinated by us (stupid asians..haha) being so fascinated by the cup that he treated us to a free cup!

the old guy told us
'Ola, ola! if you haven't tasted a Cuban Coffee, you've never been to Miami!'
and so, all 11 of us stupid asians shared that one small cup of coffee..
(yuks.. the coffee tasted like cough medicine..so bitter! no wonder they give such a small cup.)



We stayed at Jazz Hostel for 2 nights. Nice small room with 3 bunk beds and a bathroom that has no ventilation (if you shower for too long you may die due to lack of oxygen).



We paid only USD 25 a night per person which was really cheap. No needla to stay in posh hotels because the average time we spent in the rooms was only about 6 hours. the rest of the time we are out causing chaos..and taking pictures of EVERYTHING!

and so that was Miami...

ok..ok..i cheated and left out alot of info about the trip but aiyo, nvmla k

next stop, EVERGLADES!
