Last Day in Pitt...Day 3

Woke up dizzy in the morning, had a very good, hearty and very redneck breakfast of eggs, sausages, bacon and more eggs.

Above: Maybe I can just stuff these into my sweater for awhile.

Above: The Cathedral of Learning. The second tallest university sturcture in the world and a landmark in Pittsburgh.

    Later, my brother went to get some stuff done at his campus so me and my parents went off for a walk around the surrounding area. The weather today was really really cold, I was the cameraman today, like everyday and for a few times I couldn't feel my hands and couldn't push the buttons on the camera properly. I was also properly pissed to be the cameraman everytime as nobody can really help take decent pictures of me.

Above: Excuse him, he's cold-blooded.

Above: Instead of porn, this used to give me boners when I was 5.

Above: My favourite dinosaur when I was younger, Triceratops. I used to hug a pink one to sleep.

    On our walk, we stumbled across the Carnegie Museum of Natural History which houses some of the most extensive dinosaur fossil collections in the US. I've always been fascinated by dinosaurs since I was a young kid. If you give me a piece of paper when I was say, 6 years old, the only thing that I could draw with a pencil that you would have the faintest idea of what I was trying to sketch, was a dinosaur. The closest that I got to seeing a real dino fossil was in China many many years back. I remembered how excited I was and also later, how pissed I felt when I was told that the skeleton was a cast. But here, at the Carnegie Museum, it was real, well, at least 80% of them are real. Unfortunately, we did not have enough time to tour the entire museum as my brother had to get stuff done so I went back to the hotel while my parents went to help out.

Above: Fly Beef Noodle.

    One thing I had to try in the US was the Chinese food here. I know Chinese food is aplenty in Malaysia. Hell, I'm Chinese Malaysian and have Chinese food most of the time but I'm always curious as to how people interpret flavours in different places. Mum and dad brought back some Beef Hor Fun and Fried Rice with Roasted Duck. The Hor Fun was alright, somewhat a milder flavour compared to the more strong flavours I usually get in Hong Kong. Fried rice was bland while the roast duck tasted similar to most average tasting roast duck back at home. One similarity with everything here, the portions are huge. One portion can easily feed two of us.

Above: Yank Beer.

   Nothing much to talk about then, dinner with again, very big portions at our hotel. Hit the gym to cure my obesity. Also, I've been having a little bit of a sore throat today, so my parents went to get some beer for me. I just found out the other day on the flight, while trying to get a free beer with my coupon, that in the US, you can only drink when you reach 21. We probably have a similar law back in M'sia but as always, nobody really abides by the law. Things are much different here, you really need to show your ID to get a beer and you better abide by the law. As in the movies, there are probably eyes everywhere and Bruce Willis is probably now on a helicopter heading towards my direction. Anyway, New York tommorow! Until then, goodbye Pittsburgh!
