Mount Bonnell and My Aunt’s Birthday!
On the Friday after i arrived, my Uncle had flown in from Malaysia. He lives in Austin with my aunt but his work takes him overseas quite often so i was lucky that my schedule coincided with his return.

Exploring the Past
This post is dedicated to my visit to the Bullock State Museum, LBJ Presidential Library and my short walk through University of Texas. Bullock State Museum was magnificent on the outside with a huge, nicely designed building as well as massive star outside the entrance (symbolising the Lone Star State). I had no clue what...

Austin! The next stage in my U.S. trip began with leaving the East Coast and heading to Texas. My aunt picked me up from the Airport (awesome) and we headed back to the house.

So after my solo travels in NYC, i was on a bus and headed to Washington D.C. Had a pretty strange bus ride with one of the windows of the bus cracking (no idea how it happened) and caused a 2 hour delay. Eventually i did make it to Union station and made it to... Continue Reading →
NYC Solo Style
One of the major things i had really wanted to do was catch some of my favourite TV show tapings in NYC. Before this i was completely unsuccessful in getting any tickets for any show. However, my luck turned on Sunday night as i got tickets to the Daily Show with Trevor Noah (on Monday)... Continue Reading →
Magic Kingdom
After the exhausting day at Hollywood Studios, we decided to sleep in a bit but we were eventually at the park by 10. Magic Kingdom closes at 11pm so we had plenty of time. I did manage to arrive just in time to use my fast pass for the famous Space Mountain ride. The only... Continue Reading →
