The Oxford Experience - Overview of the First Week

Entering the college (can you see the flowers already there, it's beautiful)

 So I decided that overall if I kept writing like I did, I’d have one heck of a long blog to post at the end of the month (since there’s absolutely no wifi). But basically it’s been a wild and exhilarating week (what with Germany’s win #bless and what not), therefore I really hope you guys will keep in mind the fact that it’s around 12:30 and I’ve just been woken up by 2 fire alarms in the middle of the night (both of which were false alarms).

The meadow

Oxford the city in general

Ashmolean museum

Friends i’ve made at the midsummer’s night dream street play

And just for my lovely high school friends, i’ll throw in a bit about summer program dorm struggles

So we’re starting off with Port Meadows (as I believe it’s called). The place embodies England  and the UK in one picture I swear to god, I’m not even joking; it was complete with a green vast field of endlessness and little shepherding dogs standing still amidst the swaying grass. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a place to kick back and enjoy the sunny weather during the summer, because not only is the area good for hiking, but there’s a little pond near the back where you can go rowing, punting, or even swimming with the ducks. It’s honestly such a cute little place, but it’s most definitely not a place to have a picnic if you’re as scared of bugs and other little insects as I am. But note, that if you do go to this meadow (which I highly recommend going to for a summer swim or hike), then remember to take a blanket to sit on!

Isn't this college just beautiful? (Side Note: This isn't where I stayed)

This can be found in part of the exit of the Christ Church Tours (I'll tell you about it later)

Throughout the week, I’ve had to walk to my classes (which are in another one of the Oxford colleges, Corpus Christi), and with a little bit of the city I’ve seen so far, I figured I might as well write about what I’ve seen. The city itself is the most beautiful city I’ve seen in so long; the entire city is filled with intricate carvings and designs, and quaint little buildings and cafes. The city was hustling and bustling with thousands of people trying to find their way to work or simply to visit tourist places in the city, and it was a contrasting experience to the daily life here in the suburbs where I live. Instead of quiet streets, with only a few people out at a time, the streets were loud and reasonably crowded, with people hanging around the bus stops waiting for the ever famous UK buses. But remember, while in the UK in general, be extremely careful when crossing the streets because pedestrians don’t have the right of way here. I remember the administrators from our program reminding us to “be careful on the streets” but I carelessly disregarded them, thinking, I mean how bad could it actually be? Well, now I know that the streets here are horrible. You have to actually RUN across the street and J-walk at all times because no matter how close you are to said car or bus, they still keep driving with no intention of stopping. The only thing that prevents you from an accident on the street is yourself. But despite this (and almost getting run over by a motorcycle), the city was so striking and different to look at that I could barely take my eyes off of the buildings. Every college that I’d seen was so ancient and castle-like from the exterior and well-taken care of inside that it felt a little bit surreal entering and exiting. I mean, obviously I’m the princess of Pembroke College, but seriously, everything just blew me away. Even from the moment I entered the city, my face was plastered against the bus window eagerly looking at all the beautiful architecture that’s lasted for so long.

Featuring really cool hat.

Tried to imitate the pose, did it work?

In Oxford there are 2 very well known museums: the Ashmolean Museum and the Modern Art Museum (which I have yet to attend). Along with a friend, I went exploring the museum and all the beautiful artwork showcased within it ranging from Greek and Roman sculptures to actual mummies (learning about the process of mummification was so cool) to the ancient paintings and sculptures from India, China and Japan. Although personally I find museums tolerable (I neither love museums nor hate them), I still think it was a memorable experience heading out to the Ashmolean and enjoying some of the works that are there. I especially loved the paintings from China and Japan because personally those have always been my favorites and have blown me away with the beautiful calligraphy and fantastic nature scenes. But I swear the coolest part was the x-ray of the baby that was mummified; learning about the ancient Egyptian traditions and the materials placed INSIDE of the tombs was probably the coolest part of the Ashmolean.

In Oxford, Shakespeare is a really big deal, to put it lightly; Oxford was where Shakespeare stayed when he was traveling from his home in Stratford-Upon-Avon and London; this is why there are multiple Shakespeare plays performed outside in the open (obviously you still have to buy tickets, but still). Naturally, because it’s my first week in the United Kingdom, it’s practically essential to go watch some Shakespeare play, and so with a group of my friends, we headed out to the famous A Midsummer Night’s Dream. And can I just say, it was SO worth it. It was worth the cold and the long walk there; the entire night I was in stitches, laughing with the actors and at the play. Before coming here, I was neutral about Shakespeare’s works, neither loving nor hating them.  But after, I swear I’ve realized how much of a genius Shakespeare was; the actors’ interpretations of the characters were perfect. Never have I enjoyed a play so much, so whenever you go to Oxford, it’s an ABSOLUTE MUST to watch one of the Oxford Shakespeare Company’s plays! I’m sure they’re all equally amazing! But not only was the play amazing, but it was actually held in the Oxford Castle (which ironically was actually a prison)! The location is beautiful (for lack of any other words to describe it) and it’s got some really great (but also pricey) restaurants nearby, so I’d suggest going to see them! But I really wished I’d brought a jacket, because it gets cold, and if I haven’t already mentioned, the weather here is SO bipolar, I can’t even begin to describe it.

the lovely bed (with a spring that pokes me in the back)

Now for the million dollar question, that all my friends have been asking me when I’ve talked to them this week... how’s the dorm? And honestly, I actually really like my dorm. In comparison to some of my friends, who have super small little rooms, my room is reasonably big and it’s got a nice closet. The only thing I absolutely hate are the bathrooms, which were shared by practically everyone in the one building. You think they’d make more, but nope only 3 toilets were necessary. However, although I don’t have the best view and even though I don’t have a bathroom in my room, the people in my staircase were so kind and I couldn’t have asked for better friends on the floor to run to and share clothes with. Even with the small showers and cramped bathrooms, the actual college as a whole was on another level. With the spacious chapel quad, and the stained glass windows of the dining hall that looked like something straight out of Harry Potter, Pembroke was utterly beautiful. Granted, it wasn’t as great as some of the other colleges, but even after a week it still holds a special place in my heart and mind.

THE WORLD CUP GERMANY I'M SO PROUD

Although this week’s blog post is a little bit choppy and scatterbrained, I think I really like it, because it’s got all the important highlights of the week written down, and even though it’s hectic, it accurately describes my first experiences in this brand new city (brand new to me at least). My entire week’s been a little crazy what with the jet lag, the new classes, the new friends I’m making, and the excitement for what’s about to come next.

Until next time, I’ll leave you with this!

The Oxford Experience - Day 2

A great game I like to call "Spot the Ipsita" (I actually can't find myself, so help a brotha out)

I swear I had the absolute worst sleep of my life. I’m so unused to waking up at ungodly hours (aka 6:30 and for clarification I am most definitely NOT an early riser) since summer started, so now when I have to set my own alarm I keep waking up every two hours in fear of getting left behind and not having breakfast (which is pretty decent I might add). After food we walked over to the Sheldonian Theatre, where we met all the teachers briefly as well as the founder of the Oxbridge Program. The walk from Pembroke College (which is where the majority of the Oxford Tradition students stay) to the Sheldonian Theatre was indescribably beautiful, with the spires poking out towards the sky,

This thing ringing... not a sound you want to wake up to in the morning

Although the city is easy to get lost in, I’d still highly recommend getting lost somewhere to experience the true beauty. After my classes, we were allowed to wander around, and after I went and got bubble tea/milk tea (for my Cali/Bay Area friends)/boba at one of the TWO milk tea places in ALL OF UK (and also miraculously a beautiful place that offers wifi hallelujah praise Jesus), on my way to yoga class with a friend, we ended up getting lost and at one of the libraries that only Oxford students had access to. (Unfortunately, only Oxford students have access there, but fun fact: Students are only allowed to bring pencils in (no pens) because they don’t want the books to be marked). (SIDE NOTE: There were like extra activities you could take, and I signed up for yoga. I still don’t know what it’s like though, because obviously, I never made it to class).  Although we had no idea where we were going, we were still able to admire the antiquated architecture that makes up the majority of Oxford.

Radcliffe Camera: Quite literally the most beautiful library to ever exist

I'm not even a photographer, but I actually really love this building so much

My few words of caution when traveling alone: Do NOT leave anywhere without a map, because unless you don’t have a time limit, it is practically GUARANTEED that someone who isn’t an Oxford resident or if you aren’t someone who knows the streets well will get lost; if you do get lost, you always have to resort to asking random passerbys and trust me when I say it’s AWKWARD. Another thing, LOOK RIGHT, LEFT AND RIGHT AGAIN before crossing the road because while you’re avoiding one gigantic bus, there are three more coming from the other side (along with motorcycles, cycles and cars) and they will NOT stop for you. Be honored that I am writing this blog for you, because I ran into a near death experience along the way.

THIS IS SO SCARY OK YOU DON'T NEED TO SEE THIS THAT MUCH IN YOUR LIFE

I DIDN'T GO HERE, BUT SOMEONE TELL ME ABOUT IT

Although unfortunately today I have not much more to say (I took my shower late #bestdecisionever, and I watched a movie with friends in their dorms and planned out my breaks tomorrow), I’ve actually got to sleep because I’m writing this at 12:15 AM in the morning (sometimes jet lag is a beautiful thing), and I have been warned that I might have a fire alarm tomorrow morning. So I’m going to get my beauty-rest.

Peace out! (DID YOU KNOW THAT HERE IF YOU DO A BACKWARD PEACE SIGN WITH THE BACK OF YOUR HAND FACING OUTWARDS TOWARDS THE PERSON IT’S CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE? I BET YOU DIDN’T!!) Goodnight my beautiful friends :*

The Oxford Experience - Day 1

I actually have absolutely NO idea where in Oxford this is, but when I woke up from the bus ride, this is the sight that greeted me. 

I’m finally in Oxford, United Kingdom (yeah I know, I’m so amazed and wow-ed) and can I just say that the pictures don’t do this place justice. As soon as we entered the Heathrow Airport in London and we began driving, I was amazed by this quaint and picturesque sort of view of London, which I’d previously imagined to be as hustling and bustling as the grand New York City itself (Note: I was also a little bit freaked out, because I’ve just started learning to drive and over here everyone drives on the left side of the road which scared me so much, I was actually like “Wait, oh my god, we’re going to all die.”)

Do you see that little doorway? That's the doorway to Pembroke and all my memories.

This is definitely not one of the busy roads, however it's a little sneaky alleyway that I'm probably going to use more often

Oxford, however, has a sort of grand, ancient beauty to it; it’s buildings are so baroque and ornate, each one has little gargoyles and beautiful designs, which are almost enough to make any passerby want to study art. The college itself is vast; I found myself getting lost the entire day and in different areas of the city. The diversity of this place, with it’s chapels and stain glass walls, to the pubs in the little corners of the street and beautiful little flowers decorating the area... it’s spectacular, and I just cannot do it justice with any of the words in the English language. The parks here are well-trimmed and the grass never fades from green, and the buses on the road seem to never stop appearing. It’s nearly impossible to go around a corner of the street without meeting some Oxbridge student that I’d met earlier on in the day.

Is it just me or is that field BEAUTIFUL? If our lawns looked like that...

The city itself has a great diversity of restaurants and stores; from little book stores and pubs, to cafés and malls and Poundland (the dollar store of the UK). Just across from the part of the college that I’m staying in is a store called M&S that has not only a currency exchange (if you have the actual dollars it’s free, so Ipsita Tip #DollarSign$ is to find the nearest M&S and convert all cash into pounds) but also a grocery store and clothing store. I swear, it’s like the Target of the United Kingdom. In this country not only do they have a wide diversity of stores, but they also have amazing and lush green parks where people are free to sit and socialize, have picnics, play sports, or read and enjoy themselves.

The most difficult part of this trip was definitely socializing and getting to know people who’d come from all across the world, and trying to find similarities. Bonding with the people in the program was, and still is, essential to being happy here. Despite the vintage little dormitories and the strange bathrooms (both of which I will elaborate on later), there’s not really much you can do in the city other than shop and eat on your own which doesn’t require you to have your friends. Making friends here, although daunting because these people are from so far away and have so many different experiences and may not have anything in common with you), was already an amazing experience. Today, I quite literally went around introducing myself to EVERYBODY, and wow were they all so friendly. I mean other than the occasional stuck-up person, who will always be present in life no matter what, the people here are so friendly and amiable, and so easy to get along with. When I’d arrived, I only knew one person who was on the plane with me. When I’d gotten off, I suddenly expanded my friend circle to a group of 5 girls, all from different states in the US. When I finished cleaning my room and headed outside, I even met 2 Parisian twins who were so kind and amazing, and I actually went out to lunch with these newfound friends.

The dorm room itself is actually reasonably big; it’s around the size of a spacious room, and has all the necessities: lamps, outlets, a bed, closets, drawers, shelves and mini-fridges (which me and my friends plan to put to use). It’s got large windows, which allow me to see the really bipolar UK weather (it was sunny one minute, and then the next minute, people were walking into the common room soaking wet).

Welcome to my lair *coughs* sorry, my dorm?

I’m so stoked for tomorrow, and I can already feel myself speaking with a more British accent (it’s really annoying, I thought I was speaking normally but I can feel some sort of an accent creeping in). There are quite a few cute guys, so swoon (#operationgetsmartcuteguys) and I’ve already made a large amount of friends, and I’m doing subjects I’m passionate about. I couldn’t be more excited for an entire month of living like this!

A World of Lights and Stars

Hi! Sorry that I haven't really been posting lots of stuff on here, but as you guys clearly can tell this is a travel blog and it's very unfortunate that I don't get to travel around the world every day. However, over Christmas break I did head out to Las Vegas and Sedona for a relaxing trip with the family! So, unlike most of the other trips that we've had, this isn't really an all-out exploring, intensive,  getting to know the world trip, it's more of a getting to know the family kind of trip!

We started off by landing (at night) in Las Vegas. And can I just say that Las Vegas is one of the most extravagant and flashy cities by the night time. The flashing lights, the glamour, the tackiness... it's a completely different sight than most of us are used to. I remember just being curious as we were going to our hotel (Mandalay Bay) and passing by Luxor (the black pyramid hotel). I swear when I saw the miniature Sphinx my mouth dropped open and a bunch of Las Vegas fancy flies flew in. The city itself is so vibrant and tacky, and with the gambling going on practically everywhere (I'm not kidding the airport had a couple of those machine things too) it gives you a feel of all the opportunities that we have present in the world.

Behold Las Vegas's captivating beauty!

We only spent one night in Las Vegas; we were mostly just arguing about where to eat that night (and now I can't even remember where we did go to eat) before sleeping in our really big two bedroom suite. The morning after we woke up reasonably late, we headed out to Jean Philippe's pastry shop in the Bellagio hotel. If you're a chocolate fanatic like me, I suggest you definitely go there to check out the world's largest chocolate fountain. And maybe, if you went at the same time as me, you saw a girl whose face was pressed up against the glass. I'd like to introduce myself as that girl. However, I still truly love the Santana Row desert shop Cocola and also Nothing Bundt Cakes, because I'm supporting my home teams (heh they should pay me for advertising).

Next we went to Sedona, Arizona, home of the really really red rocks, and the actual Red Rocks. Even though it was winter, Arizona's weather was actually really pleasant and great. The sky never even had a cloud in it, it was always just a beautiful shade of blue.  Over the course of the couple of days we had in Arizona, it was one of my most relaxing trips. After spending time with my family and baby cousin, we went to see some of the most beautiful sights I have seen since Iceland trip (all of which cheered me up greatly before studying and preparing for finals). The first day we went to see the gorgeous red rocks that stood out brilliantly against the blue sky. Note: I can't really give you all that much advice about these red rocks, but I can tell you that you can hike up them, and I would definitely recommend this, because I'm sure the view is awesome.  I really would have done this except our family was with a one year old, so naturally we wouldn't want to hike extensively.

As a volunteer at the Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland, stars are certainly things that fascinate me. And on the drive to the house we rented in Arizona, the stars looked infinite and beautiful, and all that I wanted to do was to pull over and lie down in the middle of the freeway and take pictures (all without getting run over, naturally). But the stars there were so vast and as I pressed my face against the glass you could see the Milky Way. Nothing I had ever seen previously could even compare to this view. I only wish that I could have taken some of my friends to see it.

Captivated by the beauty and then there are some rocks behind me

Although most of our trip was spent with viewing little pieces of Sedona, major trips to Safeway and Starbucks (my parents are addicted to coffee) and just shopping, we actually did spend an entire day doing some sightseeing, rather than looking around in little chunks of time. On Christmas Day, we went to Antelope Canyon, which was one of the most worthwhile things that you can possibly do in Arizona. I mean, think about it, you'll be able to tell your friends that you went canyon exploring! That's definitely a first, unless you know, you do this all the time... and in that case, I'm supremely honored that you're reading this.

The trip was mostly photography geared, which means it was geared towards my mother. However, due to a time limit, my mom was constantly complaining that she didn't even have enough time to set up her tripod and take the picture. (These are what I call professional photographer problems). But currently, it's time for an Ipsita Tip# Was I Supposed to Number These: When going to Antelope Canyon, maybe you won't need a super thick jacket like recommended but a pair of fluffy earmuffs and some gloves will definitely do you the trick! Naturally we'll apply this trip only to winter, but it is a lot cooler than the outside temperature, so you'll want to dress appropriately. (wow that sounded sorta fancy)

The picture opportunities at Antelope Canyon are fantastic and the trip isn't very long so it's also geared towards younger children as well! Kids with really great imaginations (not to brag, but imaginations like mine) will be able to spot all sorts of things in the canyon walls!

Can you see the bear?

Did this help?

Bear snout?

Flame on a hand torch?

The... Wave (say this in a spooky manner)

Another thing you can do in Sedona that will appeal to all members of the family is Slide Rock State Park. It's pretty much a natural water slide that you can go into, for just a small fee of ten dollars. And if  it's winter, instead of going down the rock, there's another part to the canyon that we didn't know while going into the park. Enter Oak Creek Canyon. This was actually my favorite part of the entire trip, so I'd certainly recommend going there. If you liked the Red Rocks, here's a great chance to go see them, with the added bonus of water.

 Here's a little story about how WE got there though. We were just a bit bored, driving around and we didn't really know where to go with a sleeping baby. As we drove by Slide Rock for the millionth time (we didn't really want to pay the fee of 10 dollars cause we only had 30 minutes till Slide Rock closed) we saw this beautiful canyon. We couldn't park anywhere nearby, so my mother and grandfather decided to stay behind to watch over the baby (aka my mother was wearing her high heels and didn't want to walk very far, and my grandfather actually didn't want to walk), and my aunt, uncle and I went on a long hike to Oak Creek Canyon. We searched for an entrance and finally found this very shady and dangerous looking path. Of course, we HAD to take it. And when we got to Oak Creek Canyon.... it was beautiful. It's pretty much this haven for children and photographers in Arizona. Children run around and explore the area with its rocks and steps, and photographers... take photos. So because, I actually have no words to describe it, I'm just enclosing some photos that my uncle took.

This feels like it could be in 3D.

*So, my mother says to put drama.... On a fine fine day I was weary from boredom (is that a thing) and I sighed, my fingers drumming against the car. My uncle dragged to a halt.... "Do you see that canyon over there?"
I roll my eyes "Yes."
"That canyon is filled with mystical secrets... the water swirls with fog and the souls of millions..." okay this is taking a creepy turn, obviously I don't know drama.

On one of the last days that we stayed in Arizona, our family had a white shirt, blue jeans completely Arizona-ish photoshoot. (Well I don't think my grandpa got the memo) Although in practically all of the photos nobody was looking directly at the camera, due to *gasp* hilarious family "drama", I hope that in at least one of these photos we were all looking in the same direction and smiling and ACTING normally. I'd like for you to realize that it says ACTING because lets face it, nobody in my family is remotely normal.

oops bye mom! I guess you're not part of the family? jk what would we do without our  photographer?

Derpin' at the finest levels

When we left for the journey back to Mandalay Bay, where we were going to spend a total of 2 night, 2 day and less than half a morning, I was completely excited. Las Vegas, craziest place ever. I got to meet minions, a Stormtrooper, dead bodies, alligators, sharks and touch Manta Rays. What was that you ask? The alligators maybe, is that what you're referring to? Obviously not, you probably want to hear about the gruesome story of how I met bodies.... or you might just think I've gone crazy and press the little close on your computer and give up reading my blog. But let's face it, there are stranger things on the internet than my little pieces of information that I share with you.

So my day in Vegas was what you would call a tad bit hectic. The morning began, all relaxed and everything, and we headed down to the bottom floor of Mandalay Bay to see the Shark Reef Aquarium (unless you have small children you have never seen Monterey Bay Aquarium, DO NOT GO I'M WARNING YOU, unless they let you in for free). The line was super long so we just decided to buy the ticket and check out other things.

Meet my biggest hero!

My mom, grandfather, and I headed out to Bodies exhibit in Luxor (yes yes! There's a chance for me to look at the wide nostrils of the Sphinx and walk into the very chic black pyramid). The line was reasonably short in comparison to most of the other shows, so we walked in. Ipsita Tip# I really should get around to numbering these: Don't even bother bringing your camera if this is your only destination, they make you put it away anyways. And if you're really squeamish about guts and skin, then I really do suggest that you don't go. Although this is really great and informational, some people might not be able to handle it.

The bodies are amazing, they're all... real. The nails, the skin, the muscles.... every inch of it was ironically enough "Made in China". The bodies were actually dissected and examined in a medical school  in China. Because I'm considering a career in neurobiology and psychology I think that this was definitely informational. So here, just to interest you... I'll tell you SOME of the interesting things I witnessed there.

• Did you know that people are born with a liking for sweet or salty foods? (I'm torn between Lays and tiramisu) 
• Have you ever seen all the arteries in your leg... without the skin, muscle or any gross stuff?
• Have you ever seen a brain after a stroke?
• Have you ever touched a liver and gallbladder?
• Do you even know what any of these are?

If the answer to all of these are no, then this place is right for you! It's as simple as that!

And then I went to the biggest waste of my time.... also known as the Shark Reef Aquarium. I am not even kidding, the most interesting part of that thing was touching the manta rays (slimy and also a very grouchy-ish companion, I recommend a dog, cat, maybe a fish or a bird?) Personally I needed this manta ray touching thingy, because when I was little I was always deathly afraid of manta rays. And then enter Steve Irwin's death.

The greatest story right now! Forgive me for interrupting my only beginning rant about the aquarium, but I just Googled "that alligator guy" and I got Steve Irwin. It is true google has answers to everything. Now isn't that just a tad bit of humor for our days filled with monotonous boredom?  

But this aquarium, in all honesty, is not worth the huge line unless you have a kid. Because, I was completely, utterly, bored. (If my aunt and uncle are reading this... heh, hi) There was a SEVERE lack in interesting sharks. And I know you could argue "Some sharks are endangered... they need to be kept in the wild and we must just view them through the images we find on Google) but nothing there was truly interesting. One of the reasons I personally hate these things is because most of the times, the animals are too frightened and scared to do anything. And let me just say (and maybe I'll lose people who like this blog but) if you're one of those people who use FLASH in an aquarium, YOU NEED TO STOP. I think this actually is one of the most self explanatory things in the world. Most PEOPLE don't like flash, and you think AQUATIC CREATURES will like it? 

And last Ipsita Tip# Gosh darn it how about I call this 4: Make sure you check when places are CLOSING. Don't be like me and then get really confused "Las Vegas has a CLOSING time?" Because practically everything like the pizza places shut their kitchens down at 9:30. 

One more thing about Las Vegas! ENJOY your time there. Go to the Eiffel Tower, it's really a great view. And from there you can see the water shows at the Bellagio. GET GOOD SPOTS for the volcano thing at the Mirage because that's just a nice thing to witness, and by the end you might even have a faint little sunburn on your nose! (I'm completely exaggerating here so if you've taken me seriously...). It's really a great experience.

Oh, and one more thing. When you're outside in the morning, you practically don't even need to look at your surroundings. It's a huge letdown. It kind of looks.... bad. I mean sure you get to see the New York, New York roller-coaster and all but seriously, it's not that great.  So just take this wise piece of advice from your new best friend/mother bird Ipsita: (should this be an Ipsita Tip) SPEND YOUR MORNINGS INDOORS. Just wake up LATE for once in your lives!

I hope you all will forgive me for this abrupt ending, but I have to go study the lovely subject of chemistry in preparation for finals.

SO UNTIL NEXT TIME YOU CAN ADD YOUR OWN COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN WITH THIS MYSTERIOUS DRAMA WOOOOO. IT'S ONE OF THOSE STORIES.  You don't even need to tell me your name... just tell me your story. Okay this is strange... but seriously I really love to read your comments. Shoot away!

Up Next:
-Who the heck knows?

P.S Did I mention that we stopped over by the Grand Canyon on our way to Vegas?? Classic Ipsita... doesn't even mention that we went to the greatest landmark of the U.S.
