Here is the report!
Everyday has been fun for me and probably as well as the others. I have learnt many new skills such as, tying cables, using the switcher which is called the TriCaster, lighting and directing. Most of the things that had been thought had already been covered, but Mr Harry or any other lecturers delved deeper into the lesson and told us things which we did not know.
Our hosts were very nice and friendly and they kept us safe from the dangers of the unknown country which is called America. The people there were also friendly, amusing, comedic and very open.
The weather there was cold, and walking around in the night ain't so bad... until you wander around for more than half an hour. (Which by then, the wind would be very cold and almost unbearable.) Even wearing sweaters or wind breakers wouldn't help! You would need extra clothing underneath, but by then, you could still feel a little bit of the bitter cold wind.
The experience I had over there could not be compared to the experience I have in Singapore. Most people would say, "Of course lah! Different country mah!" I agree, but still, you would need to compare things to see the difference of each other. The thing I would like to compare with, to S.F and S.G is that when you buy an item in S.F, the tax is not included with the price, meaning, if you by an item which costs $2, it would cost probably $2.69 or something cents later, but no less than that. But in S.G, when you buy an item for $2, it would BE $2.
Not dissing the system or anything, just wanted to point it out. The reason because America has different states, and each different states holds different tax rates. Singapore has towns... no states.
Standing in the shade in Singapore, you could still feel the heat from around you, but in S.F, you would feel nothing but the cool breeze the shade has left behind. The weather is well suited for people to do lots of different sports and games outdoors. Even if they sweat in the heat, the cool breeze would be there to freshen them back up... but they still need to take a shower though, har har.
The food there was exotic and much different than SG's. Their meal mostly consists of corn, or mashed potato for their main dish, and occasionally meat and vegetables with their main. They seldom, or rarely eat rice... I think. But one things for sure, they eat with only a fork. Yes people, just a fork. How epic is DAT?!
Also, if you try and wave to specific types of people who walk the streets, you might just get an enthusiastic wave back at you. Unlike in SG, some people would totally stare at you blankly and wonder, "Siao ah dis fella. Dun noe me still wave like eye noe him." And it mostly leaves you in an awkward situation where you'll just have to walk away and laugh stupidly.
Why try and wave at people? I don't know! Be different! Maybe a smile and a wave might give a boost to a person's day. Might is the keyword here.
Well, that is all I have for the report... for now. I might add in more if I remember more things. Thanks for reading! See ya!
