Texas was.... bigger than oklahoma :P Everything is bigger in Texas as the saying goes... The trip was rather fun. And I managed to go to the cities that I wanted to though only for a brief stop.

Day 1:

departed at 8pm (typical indonesians) then numerous stops on the way "toilet" break (it was more like a cigarette break for the 3 smokers... ) Then we had lunch at some ulu food court. Expensive and bland chinese food. There after, we had to be troubled by hotel issues. We looked through the coupon and many didn't offer discounts on weekends. See.....when I suggested to book hotels on the internet, some people (my I-know-better twin cousins) said that it's cheaper if you can get coupons... we been there(dallas only) so many times, we know... blah blah blah.... We managed to get a cheap one (and for some reason I got a feeling that it won't be that good) but it turned out to be worse than I expected. We reached the place and it was located in a very ulu street. Very quiet and everywhere looked deserted and old... One of the guy was saying that he didn't want to lose his kidney! So we searched for another hotel and found one with a vacant room but it was expensive.

After a brief rest, we proceed to the famous RiverWalk... it was sooooo crowded with people. We decided to take the cruise around the river. It was nice at first, but i became sleepy after sometime :S And I was so hungry... after the cruise we went to pick a restaurant... we didn't know what to eat many were mexican food and no one wanted it for dinner so we ended up eating at a restaurant that sold western food. It was special to eat at the open restaurant, but I didn't really enjoy the stares of the passers-by. Yeah, the food was expensive too!

Day 2:

Shopping at San Marcos' Prime Outlet. It was a very big shopping complex where you can find almost all your favorite boutiques from Gap to Gucci to Armani... We were there for like 6 hours but my shopping appitete was still not full! Should have not taggedthe twins or let them tagged us. They didn't want to shop anymore cause they had spent enough, but they have no right to prevent others to shop!!!!

At night, we went to the Ripley's Haunted Adventure... I was scared even before we reached there.

Tommy A was trying to be funny with the "ghost". His face was scary! and I wonder how he could keep his eyes wide open without blinking for a long time!

The after, we went to see the records at Guinness World record museum next door. And across the road was The Alamo (below).

Day 3:

End of our Texas trip. We stopped at Austin for lunch... Got to see a part of UT (University of Texas)... i wish I was in UT not OSU! The campus was so vibrant and big!!!

Posing in front to the bus! Haha... Happy to set foot at Austin but wished we went to see the state capitol and more parts of Austin!

Below: The Old Red Museum in Dallas that I could only see from a far on the car :( The building was so nice....

We had dinner in Dallas at a Singaporean restaurant but the food was disappointing... Butter Prawn --> prawn with egg??? Kangkong with belacan and not spicy *sigh*
