today's the 2nd day off...the inn is finally opened and work's been pretty busy. we have to clean like 18 rooms each everyday. and making 18 beds everyday is no joke! and the singaporeans have arrived like a few days ago and coincidentally, one of my yr 1 classmates, xueni (engkiat should know who!) is here too. was so shocked to see her along the corridoor.
went trekking 3 days ago with the asians and it wasnt as tiring as we thought it would be. wont be able to post up the pics here...will show the pics if i have the chance :)
hopefully our next off day will be next mon (which is a Tue in singapore) and we might be taking a guided tour around yellowstone...
oh btw, we're tinking of ending work on the 25th june and we're be heading off the las vegas for 2 days..then to the Grand canyon...cant wait to go to the sky walker!! after which, we'll be going to Los Angeles for 2 to 3 days before heading home on the 2july. will reach singapore on the 3 july. think during may and june..we can only visit places within yellowstone coz it's pretty hard to get out of yellowstone without a car. wad's more we've only 1 or 2 pathetic off days each week.

Housekeeping is realy tiring work. always makes us hungry, i start to eat a lot now. sometimes even more than zhiying. heehee. went to eat ice cream yest in OLD FAITHFUL INN. its a 2 scoop thing and they gave us 4 scoops. goodness. very big. but we finished it anyway. haha! we sat at the 2nd floor lobby of the INN, looking down is the magnificant fireplace. its a very nice relaxing view. OLD FAITHFUL INN is made up of logs. all wood. built over 100 years ago. its counted as a historic place in US. Read from a brochure that its one of the largest log structures in the world. too bad we cant post pictures up. its really beautiful. the OLD HOUSE, where we do our housekeeping for the 2 days, are the old part of the INN. the rooms are very rustic kind and cosy. but a lot of them with no bathroom. they do have the newer usual hotel kind. thats usual already la. we're quite lucky to be cleaning the OLD HOUSE tho. cos no bathroom.
Yellowstone is made up of 5 countries. Geyser Country- tts where we are at. a lot of geysers to see in here. Lake Country- there have a big lake on it. Roosevelt Country- got petrified trees and Lammar Valley where the wolves are! (ZY say petrified trees are trees that are scared- stupid). In case you are wondering, they are trees that got preserved due to volcanic eruptions. The next country is Mammoth Country-lotsa hot springs and Canyon Country-its a small grand canyon in Yellowstone.
think we gtg. ppl q-ing for com.
