Just back to Ottawa after 2+ weeks out west. It's quiet and relaxing.
Here's some random bits and bytes in the trip:
- Acura TSX's suspension is actually on the soft side, you can feel it on the freeway. Otherwise, it is a nice car to sit in.
- SF's dim sum not as nice as in Vancouver.
- Watch the whole "20/30 dictionary" in a long match fashion, and understand why it's a web drama that will not be show on TV (like Feel 100%)
- It's always good to spend time with family.
- Mom's constantly providing soups of various kinds is a good thing.
- Figured out how much (or little) the rest of the family like crab, and get itchy after having a whole big one by myself. (Yes, I'm a bit allergic to it...)
- My dad can cook alright Turkey. But young Turkey is soft and juicy for some reason. (weird?)
- People in the US are serious about shopping at the morning after Thanksgiving. They _will_ line up 4 in the morning.
- I80 and Business80 is not the same freeway, even through they join up at the end.
- You can actually wait for over an hour in Home depot trying to get a piece of wood cut, and still can't get it done. I don't know if this is a US and A thing.
- Snow in the beginning of the season hurts your butt when you fell on it.....
- San Francisco, even for its leak of snow, has better snowboarding shops that carry more brands.... but in a higher price (Yes, it is a US of A thing)
- There is actually a small Chinese mall in Richmond, CA. It is mostly a big T&T-like supermarket and restaurants. But Pacific Mall and alike in Toronto still kick major ass.
- It's always good to sleep a lot, and eat 5 times a day.
- saw j in Vancouver, things as usual.
- Dennis need a break from work and overwork, as usual. (It's always like that each time I stop by...) He should try to make baby. hehehe.
- Take the rental Liberty for a spin in the mud with Dennis, proved it has decent off-road capacity, but still lack some real off-road-go-anywhere function. It earns the "Dennis approved" seal, none the less.
