Pittsburgh Day 2

Above: Bomoh?

Above: Some real pizza.

Above: Our haul for the day.

My brother had his orientation programme today and so being me, I stayed back in the hotel to sleep. Later when my parents and brother came back, we went to get supplies for my brother at the Ross Park Mall. Had pizza for lunch, real pizza, thick and good. I also realized there and then, how cheap the items here are. I can actually get the same pair of boots that I'm wearing now for less than half the price I got it for on Ebay and it was here that I got my first haul from Abercrombie & Fitch. I was a big fan of A&F a long time ago, not really now. However, I couldn't pass the opportunity to shop in a real A&F as I have never done that before. The good thing was, it was 40% off storewide. Great! =)

    Anyway, we waited more than an hour in the cold for a cab and finally went to get the supplies back to my brother's dorm. Good God, the dorms here are so much nicer than the dorms we get back in Malaysia. Using apartments as a comparison, the dorms here are akin to The Gardens Residences at Midvalley while my dorm at Sunway, which is freaking expensive is comparable to a flat in Kampung Baru.

Above: Starbucks Frappucino for less than RM10.

Above: Big tub of Ben & Jerrys for less than the price of two scoops of Haagen Dazs in Malaysia.

    Later, we were looking for a restaurant near our place. Restaurants are aplenty around the area and we chose to have Mexican food just because you can hardly find any in Malaysia with a decent price. Burritos it was and with fat fillings. Rice, beans, meat, cheese, sour cream, salsa etc. Very filling and quite good. Also got a cup of Dr. Pepper, which tasted like a mixture of Pepsi and cough syrup to go along with the burrito.

    Back in the hotel room for now and will be hitting the gym later. The area around the University of Pittsburgh is real nice. Will take more photos tomorrow. Countdown to New York. 2 more days!
