Partying in Miami~

The Mansion
1235 Washington Ave, Miami Beach
Majority of the crowd were spring-breakers from NY, they were like "We are on Spring Break! Are you?" I was thinking in my head "Yeah, like 7 yrs ago?" We had a great time all in all, remember to give Mansion@Miami if you are into the clubbing scene.

Miami Heats vs New Orleans Hornets

Our 1st NBA game at Miami, the atmopshere was electrifying! Basketball is such a thrilling game hah our game ended in a draw and it went into overtime with the Hornets winning. It was awesome, basically I got hooked. In fact we just came back from 1st playoff (3rd match) between New Orleans Hornets vs Denver Nuggets, that is a story for another day~

Meanwhile I saw Miami Heat's gnome and it reminded me of Jo!

Welcome to Miami~

Finally! The most famous beach in USA -South Beach of Miami

I love the street scene much more than the beach, there is 1 whole row of cafes facing the ocean, people-watching, just chilling out. Awwww what a life!

The single one food item which made my trip worth it~ it cost 1 USD for 1 takoyaki whosh but it taste so good after so long although not as puffy as those sold by the small Tako-Pachi stalls found near many foodcourts back at home. Do not be put off by the little sign they hang out "Japanese Tapas", without a doubt, the is one of the best meal throughout the trip. Kinda of too excited and greedy, we only took picture of the appeitizers and ate the main courses in record time before we could say "snap".

Nascar

Ignorant me, always thought racing tracks are as flat as it can be. It is an amazing 30 degrees slant, whooosh~

I love their wings, they are famous for their burgers it seem but I ordered a sandwich because I know I can never finish a whole burger by myself. I thought I am the biggest wing fanatic, it turned out ZW is even a bigger wings-lover than me.

Highly recommended for car enthusiasts.

Daytona Beach

My picture did not do any justice to Daytona Beach, it was already evening time when we reached and hencewise the lack of beach-goers on the beach. We went around the busy Ocean Walked on foot and found a little excellent cafe- Hog Heaven for BBQ porkribs and buffalo wings. I definitely prefer their wings to their pulled pork.

To the South it is!

Back from a 1 week roadtrip, this is a picture taken at Key Largo's John Pennekamp State Park where we went snorkelling. The water visibility is the best I have ever been, but the corals are maybe 1 or 2 inch below surface so it was not possible to hover above the reefs which I was accustomed to. Instead it was more like watching national geographic underwater, we were viewing from the peripheral of the reefs. Nonetheless, great waters and beautiful reefs, saw 5 barracudas which scared the hell out of ZW who came really close to one, they swam really slowly though. We also saw a shark when we board the boat, only caught a glimpse of its dorsal and caudal fins but enough to get me all excited. The boys were saying "it is only the fins" but I was telling them "how often we get to see a shark in the wild even if we can only see the fins haha we only get to see shark's fin on the banquet table."
Key Largo is the most southern town we accomplished in this roadtrip, it takes another 2.5 hrs to reach Key West, the southernmost point in the continental USA.
