There is a fair at Orange County.
Huge elephants. 
Huge horses. 
Huges goats. 
There was food to savor, too.
It was a nice place to have fun with children.
Finally, after more than a decade I ate in one of the many Denny's chain of diners in the U.S.
The first time I came to the U.S. about a decade ago, I had a classmate who really liked to come to Denny's to eat.
But this breakfast we ordered egg, pancakes and sandwich.
Tuktuk is the popular three-wheeled public transport rushing, squeezing throught eh congested streets of Bangkok.
The tutktuk has a reverse gear, triccles don't.
So the tuktuk serves the routes in between.
When in the United States, doing your own laundry is one of the chores one can't do without.Nobody will do your laundry except yourself.
For instance, if an apartment does not have its own laundry facilities, then laundry will have to be done in a commercial shop.
Commercial laundry shops in the U.S. are different from those in the Philippines.
More than a decade ago, the first time I did public laundry, coins were used. One just drops coins into the machine washer/dryer.
The machine washers and driers now use sleek, smarter cards, like ATM.
You buy the consumable cards. 
Its a chore one has to schedule.
Its one of America's famous burger joints.
We went to Five Guys in Queens.
It has a distinct environment inside.
The burger is sumptuous. Liked it.
Nat's Thai should ring a bell.
It's that restaurant below Wild Card Gym where Manny Pacquiao usually takes his meal during training.
But Thai cuisine, if you remove the chili, is similar to Filipino.
Their favorite is that uniquely cooked (fried) chili chicken that is the usual desire among visitors.
But there are other equally delicious Thai cuisine, you can choose from. 
You can grab their menu and you'll be pleseantly surprised the prices are reasonable.
Nat is a lady who runs the restaurant.
She was very hospitable, you forget she isn't Filipino.
It has become a must-visit place for Filpinos.
The Wild Card Gym has since become popular since Manny Pacquio has made it his training ground for his boxing fights in the U.S.
It is an assuming place, like its owner, training Freddie Roach.
I heard Manny Pacquiao's sport shop is about to open. It sells all Manny Pacquiao memorabilia.
The White House lives up to its name.
I must say a visit to the White House premises leaves one in awe.
Decisions made inside this house affects the every other country in the world.
When we visited the White House, we thought it was a damper because we weren't allowed to have a front lawn view of the White House. It was off limits. So we left to take a hotdog snack nearby.
We asked why, but the security wouldn't say anything except to say that it was going to be opened in a while.
When we started to leave the White House premises, suddenly hovering accross the sky was Marine One bearing the United States President.
I saw hordes of tourists scampering back to the White House hoping to get a good view of Marine One landing.
So in case you visit the White House and its off limits, chances are, its because the U.S. President is either leaving or arriving.
Fronting the White House is the Washington Monument, like a sharpened pencil pointing up the sky, while several other government buildings surround the area, like the Department of Commerce.
There was a t.v. series when I was a little boy.
It featured the unique streets of the city that goes up and down.
Unmarked police cars with wailing sirens chasing criminals were flying over slopy streets.
When I got to visit San Francisco for the first time, the streets were what i remember on t.v. 
It's that zig-zag road on Lombard.
Its a tourist attraction, I learned.
