Vanya Around The World
Viva Las Vegas!!!!
Have just got back and had a really good time. Vegas is a crazy place, completely another world over there. All the casinos and hotels and stuff are all on one strip that seems to go on forever. There's a mini paris with a mini eiffel tower which we went up and got some amazing veiws of night time vegas. They have a New York there too with the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty. Everything is just sooo over the top and tacky but very good fun. Of course i won millions and you're all booked on the next flight over. NOT!!!!! How funny am I! I did have a dabble but only on the 5 cent machines. We were watching the big games at the tables for a while and there were people losing hundreds of dollars in seconds and not even looking like they're bothered. Some people have far to much money. The casinos are really cool tho, they use every trick in the book to try and get you to stay. Some of them are made out to be outdoors if you get what i mean, the ceilings are painted to look like sky, there are fake trees around, sometimes even sound effects. They do this to make it look like daytime so you dont realise if its getting late so you dont go home to bed. Get it? I'm sure it works aswell. Also they have no exit signs so you litterally cant find your way out (and they are massive places), aaand you get given free drinks so you get drunk and dont know what money you're spending. They know what they're doing alright!!! (this last part dosnt apply to me of course)
On Monday as part of the tour, we went to the Grand Canyon. Do you know its 10 miles wide, some parts of it dont even have railings so it would be well easy to fall off. It was quite surreal actually, looking at it, it didnt look 3D at all. It looked just like a painting, anyway took many a photo for you all to see when i can put them up.
I met some really nice people on this tour, most of them young and english actually and i'm renting a car with two of the girls tomorrow to drive up to San Fransico, gonna be scary driving on the wrong side of the road!! And in LA-so many cars here but i'm sure it will be fine.
I cant believe i've only been gone a week today, feels longer to me, (not sure whether this is good or bad) maybe coz ive done quite a bit already.
Ok so i'll add another postcard from San Fran in the next few days, take care
love vanya XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
