Bolitmore 24-25July (US Time)

while resting at one of the rest station.. ah ma taught us qi gong!!
We arrived in Baltimore late around 11+ n settled into SleepIn which is only 15mins away from the baseball stadium that we are going to catch the game the very next day..

Welcome to Orioles Park - The Home of the Orioles
The game starts @ 7pm, but the first 10,000 fans get a free t-shirt. so we arrived there @5pm. Typical Singaporeans.
The Super Big XL Free T-Shirt. It's the t-shirt of a jus-retired baseballer..
They were training.. (taken from our seats.. Our tickets cost US$21 cos we ordered online, if we knew that we can get tickets there, it will cost onlyUS$15 zzz)
The best part of the game was the entertainment.. My Fav is the KISS CAM.. the cam will zoom into couples n they get to kiss in front of everyone.. soo sweet. There was one lady n her friend got featured thrice.. she doesnt wan to kiss him even after the 3rd time! The whole stadium laughed
It's stretched time. Everyone stood up stretched n sang the song.
The Orioles won of course.. the match was a little boring.. too slow.. but an exciting experience!

we left Nigara n headed back to nyc.. another few hours drive.. all depending on our GPS..
On the left is canada n one step more to USA..

Our hotel was less than 30mins away from NYC.. uncle drove us there n let us explore the place by ourselves.. passing thru the Holland Tunnel into NYC that cost us US$6. expensive!Times Square

Niagara Falls

N off we depart from toronto the next day @ 12pm, we drove a few hours before reaching niagara falls...there r 2 falls here: the American Fall and the Canadian Fall. Basically, these two falls separate the two countries: America and Canada by the RAINBOX BridgeWe took a boat tour (Can$14) to be near the falls..
The American Fall Can u see the rainbow? Beautiful isnt it?
The Canadian Fall. See the mist, so powerful!!

We revisited the falls at night 10pm whereby the falls r lighted n we managed to watch the 10mins of fireworks. Beautiful! Sorry too lazy to post the video of the falls n the fireworks.
