DA BIG DAY! flew 4 hours to taipei, then took the transit flight of 14 hours from taipei to newark, new york. howard got stuck at the customs area because he gave a photocopied version of an important document that we were supposed to submit. it was alrdy 12 plus midnight when we reached the hotel. hotel was ok, no complaints for that.

woke up and left the hotel, took a train to NJ transit. took bus 319 to atlantic city before taking 552 to wildwood. meet alot of angsty blacks along the way. (angsty is our new word) and finally finally finally reached our housing apartment at 6 plus. it was well furnished, there were 3 storeys. 1st for managers, 2nd for girls and 3rd for guys. 2 bathrooms and 1 kitchen on every floor. common dining area had 2 fridges and 1 television. went to this panda restaurant for dinner. the chinese food there was really good.

on a side note, the weather is really like super duper cold.

may 12th:
quite an eventful day. went for recruitment exercise in the morning. first time setting foot on the boardwalk. breath-taking scenaries, picturesque sights all in view. it was a really enjoyable morning. played with the fake mannequins in the meeting room while waiting for our turn to do the admin procedures. went out to atlantic city and was given really good deals with every shop we went in. H&M, Espirit, GAP, Lacoste, Guess, Coach etc etc etc

on a side side note. the weather is still freaking cold, 11 degrees. ARGH!
