Day 5 at Atlanta

before i talk about what i did today, let me stress on some things i observed during my 5 day stint here.

1. the people here are very courteous and friendly. can already see from the way they greet you from physically anywhere u might need to communicate with them. they will always say, “hello, how are you?” and when i reply “i am fine, what about you?”, they will reply “i am fine too, thank you.”.

2. the food they serve here are in huge portions… its like having 2 meals at once in singapore. this is how much they are eating for each meal.

3. drivers here are very thoughtful and courteous too, although sometimes i see quite some cars having accident-made ‘injuries’. when we want to cross the road and a car is approaching, the driver will stop for us to cross first before the driving off. Even when we attempt to cross the pedestrian crossing on red light, they will stop for us to cross.

4. the waiter n waitress here are very observant and thoughtful too. they will occasionally come to ur table and ask is everything alright and will ask anything else we need. they will also come n check on the drinks and ask whether we need refill. we dont need to ask them to come de.

5. last but not least, you can refill drinks for free in all restaurants! even fast food also can! i mean all drinks that you can order are refillable.

ok, back to what i did today, haha… as usual for class was as normal. breakfast to lunch to end of class nothing much happened. just that today’s lunch, we went down to greenwood restaurant. this time round i never order salad, instead i ordered boneless pork chop with honey-glazed carrots and mashed potato. the portion looks big to me, but i still managed to finish all of them, lol…

at nite we went to godiva at perimeter mall to buy some chocolates for the trainers of esi university. just as a gift of appreciation to them for treating us like family during the stint here. then we had dinner at mcdonalds, me ordering club meal. its some sort of mcchicken with bacon and tomato in it. actually i wanted order 10 piece nuggets meal de, cos its only $5.89! so many pieces for only $5.89! even without the meal, it costs only $3.49! or something like that. is like virtually $0.34 per nugget! how cheap can it get.

after dinner we went to target to get some gifts for my colleagues and my family. cant disclose everything here cos its a secret, lol… then we headed back to hotel by 830pm.
