A brewery owned by Leinenkugel

It's somewhere in Wisconsin/Chippewa Falls, I don't remember..This brewery has been around for the past half a decade or more..Has been passed down 3 generations if im not mistaken..Never mind about the history..Main thing are the pictures right??=p

So here are some pictures of the brewery

Look at all the different beer handles

Some of the tools used for brewing beer..Too bad they don't allow pictures inside the brewery..that's the best I could get..hehe

Then it was to a mansion somewhere near the brewery

It doesn't work..Wouldn't it be cool if it still works??

This is such a cool stove!

Will you be able to guess what this is without that sign?I couldn't.

This is like those Cinderella story kinda bell..Too bad it doesn't work as well..Stuff in this house are all antique

Bonjour

Ancient camera

Nice windows..Clothes worn by ancient people

The stuff they use from a long time ago

Shoes that can fit my palm!!

Road trip + MOA

This happened sometime in September I think..I don't remember..=p Well, in my campus, there's this program for international students where each of them who are in it are assigned a local family as their host for the period they are studying here..
Rick and Mindy Merryfield as my host parents..I don't really know much about their background though..Know that they have 3 children..Rick is a firefighter and Mindy works in UWEC in Publications (designs web page, flyers, ads). I also have a host sister from Brazil, Debora who's majoring in journalism..

So because of our hectic schedules, we seldom meet up..Mindy thus planned an outing for us and off we went for a road trip..Fall is here and leaves started turning colors..It was just so beautiful when you drive on the freeway with rows of colorful trees on both sides of the road..

On the way to the park..

Is this the Chippewa River?I'm not sure..It's been so long since I went there la..just enjoy the pictures k?=D

From the top of the hill

Debora, my host sister



Is it my photography skills or is this place really that beautiful??XP

After about 2 hours of climbing, we are finally here at the Mall of America, Minnesota..Shops here kinda sell the same stuff..Nothing much to buy as well..It was already very dark when I got back to Eau Claire..But it was a very fun and tiring trip..Finally I finish blogging about this..It has been as a draft for bout 2/3 months..lol

BYE~~

Action City!!

Okay doing more back-dating now since I stopped blogging for a few months..This post contains much excitement and is action packed!!Are you ready??

Action City in Eau Claire!!It's a mini theme park about half an hour from campus..So one Thursday in September 2008, the residents of Katharine Thomas Hall put on their 'action-cap' and of they went to Action City!!

There was even a bus that operate to specially drive students from campus over to Action City..we call it the 'Blue Party Bus'..

The girls from 3W

On our way before climbing the hill

Oops is she tall enough??=p

Action City!

Go-kart!!It's the only place where I can drive in the US for now..lol It was so much fun!!

More driving!!

Oh ya there was this 3-D thingy that me and Kay sat..It was situated right in the middle of the theme park and we were screaming so loudly..and guess what..kids didn't even scream..>.< Laser tag. It's like paintball but you substitute paint with laser guns..Guess what Kay and me did..We went in alone, got bored, and we stood face to face shooting one another..

Nicole and Julia doing the rock wall..

Us preparing..

Us on the medium course..damn hard to climb that wall k..requires lots of upper body strength..

Chie, was the only one who manage to make it to the top..*claps*

That's all for now..Back to the dramas..adios~

Dinner at Benvenuto's

I'm bored! Hence the post..lol

Bernard n me went had dinner with Joe, Bernard's calculus classmate..He brought us to Benvenuto's an Italian restaurant about 15 mins away from our place..

This is Joe with the waitress's signature..she could write upside down so well man..I think that it's a waste of talent for her to be a waitress..but on the other hand, she serves really well too..pretty too..lol

Better not open the menu when you're hungry..you'll either end up ordering everything or you'll flood the whole place..

Too bad I'm not 21..cant order anything..well just looking at it would be enough for now I guess..*sighs*

Sorry there's no picture of the food..was too pre-occupied with eating when the food came..lol I promise I'll get one next time!=D

The SUN!!At night??Oh no!!Doomsday is coming!!Oh ya did you hear about doomsday which will be coming soon??21-12-2012 I think there's a movie about it too..go check it out..


Anyway, there's a party going on downstairs..gonna go enjoy myself while I still can.lol start studying if doomsday is not here..not too late right???*Evil laughter*
