and now for more photos... this time of atlantic city new jersey

so after new york, i decided to head on down to new jersey. more speecifically, atlantic city in new jersey. for those of you who don't know, this place is like a mini las vegas with casinos everywhere, including those owned by Trump. however, i have yet to see a strip showhere, thus the reason for labelin it mini. that's a funnel cake that which is something like fried dough and icing on top. its really good and i think it originated from new jersey.

just to give you guys an idea of the view from outside the casino side that faces the beach. there sure was a lot of people but that's because it was the memorial day long weekend holiday.

everywhere you turn and look, there will always be loads of people.

no this is not disneyland but atlantic city. i dunno why the owners of that casino wanted to dress up their place like that. to attract minors to gamble maybe?

what's a casino region without a ceasars? remember ceasar's palace in las vegas? well this one is smaller (i guess) and its pretty fancy inside as well.

one of the many forms of advertisements you see at atlantic city: the plane with the banner at the back.

no that's not lalang or rice that's growing there.

that cafe belongs to Trump and its a bar and grill.

this is about as far as i went to the beach as i did not want to get sand in my shoes. well gotta keep in mind that my plan for that day was just explore the place and not to go to the beach.

and now with a different background. this time with the casinos as my backdrop.

ah the rainforest cafe. really nice place with a rainforest themed eatery. there's a mock thunderstorm that happens every 30 mins with sounds of thunders and animal noises for realism.

lunch was a quick affair with pizzas. cost USD1.79. but wait till you see how big it is. like 3 of my hands placed end to end. this is the first time i got full on just a slice of pizza.

finally we reach the (factory) outlets for shopping. initially i wasn't too keen as my eyes were acting, but wait till you see what i bought (that would come up in another post

some of the outlets that you can find here.

liz clairborne, izod, vanes hussen, banana republic just to name a few.

loads of people here at the factory outlets too. gamble, win money, come to factory outlets, spend the money. great plan if you ask me.

a map of the factory outlets located at atlantic city. just for reference when i do come back.

and thus ends my trip at atlantic city for the day. came back really happy with the things that i bought at banana republic, gap and aeropostle. shall take photos of those and post it tomorrow. till then, hope you enjoy this post.
