The Story So Far… A teaser

Hey everyone! We’re doing pretty well and the weather’s pretty good! It’s like being in air con but… outside where it is sunny. So far we’ve gone to the Los Angeles County museum of Natural History…

To the Santa Monica pier/bay where the beach looks wonderful and there’s shops and a theme park on it…

And the California Institute of the Arts! We checked out more places but well, you’ll have to check the N.E.Mation facebook wall for the photos we shared to see them as we upload! Catch you later everyone, we’re going to Disney tomorrow! Wooooh!

We’re here!

From Terminal 3 in Singapore, we travelled to Narita airport in Japan!

Then to Los Angeles airport! That was… wow, how many hours was that? I can’t remember, 18 hours? WE TRAVELLED BACK IN TIME! It was Saturday when we set off in Singapore and now it is Saturday here in LA!

And now we’re here at the hotel! It’s 11.26pm now so goodnight! Tomorrow we’re heading off towards the museums or science centres here.

This has been a short N.E.Mation post, whil I have time/wifi. See you around next post! I’ll be posting a super long one after the whole adventure!

I’m going AFK in the USA!

Will be back on the 14th of June. So comments will be put under only approval before it shows up in posts so that I won’t let any accidental spam through.

I have a post scheduled on Monday as usual! Heh.

Also, I’ll be posting a few short blog posts while I’m in the USA because… IT IS MY NEMATION TRIP! I’ll have a big post at the end of it but I’ll try to post as much as I can while I’m there because the activities and places we’re going to are pretty fun!

See you guys back on the 14th. Don’t worry about your comments, I’ll approve them (not that I get that many) eventually when I’m posting my short blog posts!

In the USA.

I am now Miley Cyrus.
