So right after my most dreadful assignment submission at the end of the month, I decided to get a return flight ticket to Arizona to visit John and his family/friends for Easter.
It was my first time travelling the US so I was really stoked about it. Besides, the trip was also a self reward for finally being done with statistics and EBNP. Never want to touch them ever again (which I highly doubt it's possible). Ugh gross. *thumbs down* I also thought it was right of me to go over because Papa and Mama Bear needed to know who this girl John is currently dating!
Let's be honest the main reason why I flew over was because LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS STINK, and the only way we could make this work is to actually make the freaking effort to see each other despite the distance. Still, fuck that.
Had a 7hr40min layover in Tokyo so I took the chance to head out and explore the town a bit. Japan is B E A U T I F U L. Hats off to the Japanese people. Everywhere I went I was greeted with wide smiles and 45 degree bows. They make good manners so overrated! I would have to go back to the land of the rising sun just because the people are amazing and their TOILETS. Jaw. Dropping. I shall stop here because I could go on and on for the next few hours. This blogpost should be about America not Nihon.
Grand Canyon is basically out of the world. For once I was happy to feel small. It was also my first time camping out under freezing conditions, and I did not like that very much. The campfire was probably the only legit justification for me to suffer in the cold like that. Nevertheless it was still really memorable. I needed to surround myself with nature for the longest time and by then I my poor Singaporean soul was greatly satisfied.
I also really appreciate that there's a wider variety of vegan foods in the US supermarkets as compared to Singapore, which made me so happy. Vegan restaurants serve the most mouth watering dishes, even meat eaters cannot resist. This is probably going to be one of the main reasons why I need to move there.
Let the pictures do the talking.
It was great to be able to see Paul again! Been 9 months since the last time we met in Nepal!

Here's another three more agonising months that we both have to endure before seeing each other again. Counting down as always.
