States part 2


Soon, we arrived at Detriot, New Jersey, airport. I believe this airport is one of the many airports in States that receives many international and domestic flights. As you can see, the airport is pretty huge and well organized! Very easy to find the gates and won't get lost so easily.



So we took our domestic flight to Newark Airport, New York. This airport is damn "lok kok" haha! Very different from Detriot airport. At the point of collecting our luggages, we were very anxious. As we were afraid that our luggages will be terrorised by the airport staff, which we heard from many of our friends who have been to the states that they will open up any bags and do random spot checks. Even in some cases, expensive items were stolen as a result. So we were very worried! The lucky thing was that we finally collected our luggages without having anything missing, but the unlucky thing was that there were two damages to the Chans' luggages! We did not do the claim on the spot as we believe that it would be very tough to do it oversea, especially in the states, thus we brought the case back to Singapore to cliam.

There were 3 coaches in total, each coach carried around 50 passengers. It was a pretty huge group I would say. Everyone was pretty punctual and corporated throughout the whole tour.


Finally, our first day of tour! Our first stop was at Chinatown, the biggest Chinatown in the States! There wasn't anything very interesting, we were there to have our breakfast before continue our city tour in NYC.


Soon, we arrived at Wall Street and the Trinity Church. We were pretty excited as this place is the world's economy centre! By the way, it was a holiday on that day. It was Thanks Giving Day! It is a big and important holiday for the Americans! Since it was a holiday, as you can see, there wasn't many people. You can only see tourists and tourists and tourists...
