Finally it’s the last weekend in US before I go back to Singapore. Can’t wait to get back but also have gotten used to the relaxing life here. This weekend I didn’t go anywhere far but it was satisfying. I drove about less than 2 hours to Sandusky, Ohio. Sandusky is actually famous for its amusement park, Cedar Point. I heard the roller coasters are crazy. The amusement park is located on a private island, somewhat like Sentosa where you can’t walk across but have to drive across and I was forced to pay 10 bucks for the parking. But, it was okay. At least I got to walk around a bit there and take some pictures. I didn’t want to go in and play because what fun is there playing alone. 😀
Then, after that I went over to Battery and Shoreline Park where I could see all the sailboats parked there and Lake Erie. The Americans really love to go sailing. It’s so cool seeing the boats parked there like cars, and them taking it out during weekends and so on. I had a great time just walking along the sea. The people there were extra friendly. At least the 5-6 people I walked past greeted me with a “Hi” or “Hello”. Probably it was either because of my striking red and white striped shirt or I just look “touristy” snapping pictures all the way.
On Sunday I went to Canton, Ohio. There was a football hall of fame there but I didn’t go in. If it was a BADMINTON hall of fame I sure would. :p But it was cool seeing how popular football is over here. By the way it’s American football, not the football that we really know. And American football is even different from rugby, I thought it was the same.
The rest of the weekend was spent shopping. Went to a few different malls. Their malls are mostly one level, not tall and many storeys like ours. I had to start shopping already otherwise I won’t have anything to bring back. Knowing how I normally shop, this was a pretty decent job I did. 🙂
Well, one more week of work now. Going to be a pretty eventful week I suppose. So far, already have an Indians game and a Buffalo Wild wings outing planned. Til next time then.
