1. it was an interesting experience to travel across different timezone during fasting month. i dont know how the pilot determine the "bukak posa" time and sahur time. I remember there was one time while i still enjoying my main meal for bukak posa, then the pilot announced the imsak will be in 2 hrs time..
2. i lost my watch at Taipei's airport. I still could not throw away my bad habit always to put my watch on sink or at toilet's door. when i came back to take my watch, it's no longer there.
3. Our company appointed travel agent only booked our ticket to Las vegas not to Reno. So when we arrived vegas's airport, the guy at information booth told us from there to our hotel is about 6-8 hrs drive. So we had to get another flight with our own money to get to the reno. We took Southwest airlines and the journey took 1 hr.
4. It was difficult to get Halal foods in Reno. My menu for fast breaking and sahur were cheese pizza, rice+shrimp, rice+salmon fish, and Maggee. The hotel room doesnt have cattle to boil the water,so i had to use hot water from the tap for my maggee.
5. It was easy to travel within Reno and Sparks. The bus only caused us $2 and with the same ticket we could re-use it if the next bus is within 1 hr 30min from the last purchase.
6. We spent one night at Las vegas. As the next day flight was at 8am, we were advised by the hotel staff to leave the hotel around 6am. But i only woke up at 6am, so my friends had to leave me becoz they worried they will miss the flight. So i have to take the cab alone to go the airport. While in the cab, the driver asked me where i from. I said to him i from KL, Malaysia. Then he said owh malaysia. i asked him back do you Malaysia. He said of course, "i am from Philippine" He has live more than 10 years in Vegas and before that he stayed in Miami. According to him, there are lot of philipino in Vegas. No wonder i though i heard the worker at the airport chat in Philippine.
7. i got chance to experience the busy street of new york. my flight return was from newark liberty internation airport at new jersey. We took 25mins train to new york city. There we managed to get Sabihah food from one of the pakistan restaurant.
8. Then we transited at Stockholm for 1 hr 30mins. Unfortunately, we can't get out from the airport. So instead of feel and breathe the sweeden air, i only can feel the aircond air..huhu..
here some photos to share
