journey to the north - part 1

ok.. i've been bugged for a while.. reckon i better start abit. aniwez, so yeah.. if u didn't know, I went to Toronto for fall break along with other singaporeans and well, basically ate and walked more than we did for the past 2 months.. hee
so we left chilly Ithaca, where trees were fast reddening and temperatures were dipping to zeroes and further below.. onward MORE north, where we were pretty afraid it would get even colder. (thankfully it wasn't the case). then came the most irritating part of the journey - the most pathetic, incompetent greyhound buses that were so mindbogglingly inefficient I honestly wonder how they survived till today. damn the bus monopoly man.

basically we were made to wait at various cities for stupidly long times whilst bus drivers basically got grouchy and irritable and whatsitnot and started rearranging passengers around. -_-. dude, NEVER AGAIN. gimme a car next time.

so we actually took like a whole afternoon and night to get to nearby NIAGARA FALLS. disgraceful man. and by then, it was FRIGID, ARCTIC COLD. my hands were like seriously frozen and it was pretty unbearable to even clutch the camera and try to take shots of the falls. I dunno why people say the view falls at US side sucks. Well, ok you don't get the complete picture and so on, but honestly, to be SO CLOSE to the falls, and like stand atop of the falls with water rushing beside you and plunging hundreds of metres down into what Sheryl called the arctic hell.. well.. I thought that was pretty cool.
oh yah.. there were fireworks as well.. dunno but really there's something about fireworks that never fails to make people happy even though it is probably the umpteenth time we have seen it.

kk.. soon the cold got pretty much too unbearable and we huddled back to the hotel and started on a slew of bridge and assorted card games.. YIPEE! haha.. kk.. more updates soon.. needa sleep
