28 June Tuesday

Today's my off day again and i'm in the downtown library of Sandusky. The building looks like a castle and the town's pretty much empty. Basically there's nothing exciting here. This week has been q fruitful in a way because i've taken some of the roller coaster rides and eaten from a few of the famous eateries. I rode the Gemini, Magnum, Wild Cat and Mantis. The Magnum has a very high peak and you have a nice view from the top and the free-fall feeling is definitely exciting and scary. Wild Cat is supposedly a child's ride but it's exciting though because it's fast. I like Mantis. It's kind of special because instead of sitting down, this ride is a standing one and it's more fun than scary. Previously i've also taken MaxAir (a new ride which is like a big and tall pendulum and swings you high up in the air; the view is magnificient), Wicked Twister (i like this too. it zooms off on the count of three and it's a U-shaped structure which has twists along the two arms), PowerTower (which is a high elevator and releases you from the top to give you the plunging feel. it's fun), the Raptor (it looks scary but it's not. it has a lot of 360 degrees turns and circular hoops so you feel dizzy instead) and Blue Streak (a very old coaster, so it's a classic with a number of pretty good drops, only that the ride is bumpy). I've yet tried the Dragster (the world's fastest coaster which takes you up a U-shaped thing too) and Millenium Force (which is said to be one of the best coasters in Cedarpt and my friend said it's similar to Magnum). Lixia doesnt dare to take the rides but i must coax her up the coasters one day. Haha...
And, i've eaten Johnny Rockets; it's a franchise. Their specialty is burgers and the thing is, they dance when the music comes on, regardless of whether they have a long queue or not and some of the servers (both guys and girls) will dance at the entrance. The service's not good and the dance's not spectacular; so-so. I ate at Famous Daves yesterday night and it's known for its ribs. The ribs are really good and the meat's so juicy and they have a lot of barbecue sauces you can add on. The bread pudding is also not bad, just that you get tired of the sweet taste after a while.
We've met some Taiwan ple this week. There's a girl staying at the apartment below us and she works q near us too. She's rei-yu and she lives near the Shilin market. A pity she's only going back in Sept so we cant stay in her hse and she wont be able to bring us ard. There's another girl we just met- Yi Zhen. Two other guys that i got to know- Guo Kai and Xue Yu. They are all very friendly ple and we get along well.
Brandon's now our supervisor too and tell you something, I got my bronze tag!!!! which means that i have a pay raise of $0.25 per hr, which amounts to q a sum from now till the end of my work. Work hrs are getting less because more ple came and we have to do shifts.
I'm confirmed leaving Cleveland for Orlando on the 19th Jul (less than a mth away).

Hi all,

i know that it's been a very long time since i last posted an entry here. Just to tell you that i managed to post some of the pictures i took on the first few days i arrived here in my photo blog: christina05summer.fotopic.net but apparently the newly-discovered wireless is down and i wont be able to post the rest of my pics. Well, i dont know. But the weather has definitely turned for the better, at least it isnt freezing anymore and there's sunshine. I've been to Put-In-Bay last wk on my off day and it's like pulau ubin. Talk to u another time.
