A great Gil Youngism!


Today I was walking to school and I ran into Gil Young and she said that funniest Gil Youngism!

Gordo: Wow! The weather is really strange today.
Gil Young: It's not strange. It's unusual!
Gordo: I'm outta here!

My Going Away Party 2

Here are some pictures that we snuck in after we ate dinner.

Here is a nice picture with Mamita and Anna.

Gary is sleeping in this picture. Hehe!

Gary and I. I fell asleep in this picture.

Here's a picture of the staff at the Acapulco restaurant.

Gary and I drank Imperials when we got back to the house.

Going away Party!

We had a really fun get together the night before I headed back to Korea. We went to the Acapulco restaurant in Moreno Valley. This was also an impromptu birthday bash!

Here is a picture of Mamita and me! We're digging the Enchilada Extravaganza!

Here's a very nice picture of Ita and me!

Oh man! Look out! The Tortilla-man is loose!

I'm too distracted by the camera to notice Gary stealing my flan!

Here's a nice picture of Gary and Anna.

Here's Ita and Mamita enjoying a corona.

Anna does her best thinking with a tortilla chip in hand. Hehe!

One more of Alex, Gary and I.

Final Las Vegas Post (Hopefully)

Okay. Here's my shot at the last Las Vegas post. After this will be my going back to Korea party pics!

This shot was taken walking around the Venetian Casino. It looks like some from the Sixteenth Chapel.

Here is a picture of the ceiling in the Wynn Casino. It looks like a UFO over some trees!

Here's me relaxing with a buddy of mine.

Here are some cakes that were on display at the Wynn buffet.

I call this one Extreme Rosey!

This one is called, "Green Tea day."

This is one big peach!

Finally, some flowers to thank everyone!

Las Vegas 3

Two of my favorite casinos have to be: The Flamingo and The Venetian. The Flamingo is one of the original casinos of the strip, and Bugsy used to run it. The Venetian brings the romance of Venice to Las Vegas.

Here is a nice picture of me in front of the pool's waterfall.

Here is the main reason I like the Flamingo. You can actually look at and take pictures of Pink flamingos for free. It's a great chance to get up close to these strange birds.

Speaking of strange birds, this one is a classic!

Finally, from strange birds to annoying ones. This chubby fellow would stop making a racket and kept getting into my pictures.

In the Venetian Casino we saw a living statute. They are quite annoying according to the citizens in the Hot Fuzz movie.

Ah, the canals of Venice. I hope to go to the real Venice before it sinks completely.

This is one of my favorite shots inside the Venetian. The inside is actually made to look like the outside square of Venice. It's quite impressive.

An accordion player out of no where. Quite nice.

Las Vegas Part 2

Alright, now I'm thinking that 2 parts isn't enough. Anyway, here are some more picutures. Enjoy!

Since it was Lunar New Year time, the Bellagio Conservatory was decorated to celebrate that time. I hope everyone has a happy new year!

Another shot of the conservatory. I love the colors in the picture.

Here's a picture I got from the Luxor casino. They look like they are right out of the movie, The Mummy!

This is one of my personal favorites. It's from Caesar's Palace.

This is a cute Trojan horse in Caesar's Palace. It's actually the front of a FAO Schwartz toy store.

The registration area of the Paris Casino is a can't miss spot.

The ceiling in the Bellagio is another can't miss picture.

Many people commented on the picture of this horse. It's quite lovely.

Las Vegas

One of my favorite cities in the world has to be Las Vegas. It's where people will treat you friendly and you can feel like a King. But you have to be careful, not to overspend, over drink, or get yourself into some other trouble. I took too many photos but I'm going to narrow them into 2 parts.

I don't particularly like the New York New York casino, but, I do like the decorations on the outside of the casino. Here is old lady liberty.

Here's the Manhattan bridge.

I love the ad for Pepsi Cola. Many people don't even know about this drinks existence.

The lovely Eiffel tower in Las Vegas. Many people think this is a shot of the real deal.

Here's a picture of the Monte Carlo Casino. I love the way the fountain looks life-like.

Now for some night shots. Here is one of my favorite casinos, the Venitian!

Here's the casino where I stayed out. They had a special for $40 a night. I couldn't decline that.

This waterfall is in the outside of the Wynn Casino. I love this place. I won about $100 and 2 free dinner buffets!

Union station and Olvera Street

Before going to the Lunar New Years parade, we decieded to stop by Olvera Street because it's on the way. It's a truly historic street founded in 1911, when California was still part of Mexico.

This is a picture of Union Station. Our first stop towards our trip.

Next is a historic bell.

We saw some people dressed up as Native American dancers. It was quite a good show.

We decided to stop and get some food. Here's Alex and Gary. Gary is eat bistec con camarones and Anna is eating tacos!

Here's Gary and me. Fear my cold, pale hand!!! Haha! I shouldn't have worn a black sweater!

Some old fashioned cooking appliances.

El chancio que con dinero.

Here are some sandalias!

Last but not least, el amigo de Millita, el Burro!
