29 July 2008; 0545hrs Bozeman, Montana (USA)
I’ve been awake since 0200hrs! Guess it’s jet lag. Oh well…
The first day I arrived at Bozeman was a shocker. Public transportation is virtually non-existent. Sure, there’s the free Bozeman bus but nothing else goes anywhere. And the bus services only ply routes within town. There’s only one taxi (claimed) in the entire town!
So how am I going to get to Gardiner for my Yellowstone tour? By taxi… But it costs US$200 each way! If I ask them to drive to Gardiner (in Montana) to get be back to Bozeman after the tour, the charge would be much higher! Freaking shocked, I tell you.
Good thing the people I met at the workshop are nice. One offered to drive me there the day before. I’ll stay there for a night before the tour. Another’s driving me back after the tour. So… Excellent! Thank God.
Now… must try to figure out how to get to the caverns. Otherwise just hermit lor. No car will die here.
The workshop was nice. Learnt a lot. Got textbook some more. Plus all those powerpoint slides they printed out. How to carry home man…
Bought some souvenirs at Salt Lake City International Airport. Really cool. Of course I had to get a plate to add to my collection. But this… A salt snowflake. Naturally grown from the salt they got from the lake. How cool is that?
Had a cinnamon bun for lunch. It’s called Cinnabon Classic. It’s world famous, can? So must try! Amazingly… ordinary. Very rich, high calorie food. With frosting on top some more… Couldn’t finish it… Really ordinary what. Why is it so famous? World famous meh? Never heard of it before I got to the airport.
Oh well… better figure out where to stay at Gardiner. Don’t want to sleep on the streets. Haha…
