Spring Break- Austin, Texas

Hi Y'all!!

The Spring just ended and guess what.. I went to Texas.
Its was a short plan.. about 1 week Acip invited me and I just say yes since my roomie, Naddy will heading to New York city and definitely will make me insane live in Athens...



So, Sinoun as the driver.. A very very tough and sexy driver led the trip.


Where Alif with me and 

 suddenly Mitchel showed up.. So it were 4 of us..


The journey is 24 hours driving.. because it is 1500 miles =2413.9 km.. my brother said Johor to Perlis is 700km.. so bayangkan journey dr Johor ke Perlis ulang 3 setengah kali... buntot terbakar tahap dewa naga
We drove about 2 pm on Saturday and arrived in Austin the next Sunday night.. huh~ this is a real journey!


Actually it should take only 22 hours but something happened to the GPS and it brought us to Birmigham, ALABAMA ok! jauh giler.. After 12 hours driving, we stop at Birmingham, Alabama and slept at one of the hotel.

Arrived at Austin Texas on Sunday night.. So we missed South by South West music festival. The biggest music festival on earth. Featuring all musician around the world and also featured MUSE and Yuna from Malaysia.. So x da rezeki.. Next year la pegi.. But it doesnt mean the end of the world..

We went to:

  • Whole Foods Market
  • The Domain where the Forever 21 is.. heeee~
  • San Marcos factory Outlet.. 
  • The Oasis- restaurant at Lake Travis
  • University of Texas
  • Texas Capitol
  • Tejas- The Mexican food
  • Amy's ice cream
  • Covert Park where we met The Jordanian
  • Buffalo Exchange
  • Flying Saucer
  • Mansfield Dam
  • Mozart Coffee Shop.. hebat jugak
  • Halcyon.. coffee shop hebat
  • Spiderwick Coffee shop.. awesome
  • RAIN.. hahaha
  • Texas State History Museum
  • San Antonio- The historic Alamo, River walk and Hard Rock Cafe San Antonio
In short.. Whatever happen in Texas stays in Texas.. hahahah~

For me.. Texas is the best place Ive ever been to..
The weather is warm right now la.. since it still in spring
You can see arts and colours everywhere.. it is the place for those who love arts. There are Hippies, Musician, Grafitti and the most important thing everyone SXSW South By South West Music festival that we missed.. I will definitely come to Austin again.. University of Texas(UT) its kinda interesting... for my masters.. tengoklah nanti.. Its the place where people dont care what are you doing and wearing... sukati la.. nobody's care..

Thanks to all... Marina and Justin for the hospitality and let us crash your house.
