Living in Utah, US

Disclaimer: Please stop reading if your green monster starts overtaking you. (I'm joking, :D)

Initially I wanted to describe my living experience here as living experience in US, but slowly through daily conversations and observations I came to realize that living here at Utah is unique, as unique as living in any other state in United States perhaps, because US is just too vast to be stereotyped.

If you aren't NBA fan, you might not even have heard of Utah, which is definitely not like metropolis New York. Quietly surrounded by gorgeous mountains and beautiful lakes, it have everything exactly opposite to Singapore: big, large, hugeeeeeeee!

For example, Walmart is huge. The first time we saw it, we were so excited to take photography there. That day was Thursday. And then Friday - Walmart again, Saturday - Walmart again, Sunday - Walmart again...I feel a bit embarrassed to say that we took picture with Walmart. They all look the same even though they are all at different places. (Non-tourist: What so big deal!) Paiseh, we are still tourists. :D


It's convenient to have so many Walmarts nearby, if and only if you drive. MI4 = find small groceries stores within walking distance. It's cool to drive here with opposite orientation, different rules and better cars!

Chrysler (I drive slightly less cool model, ^^)

And about my temporary fully-furnished house that's so comfortable to stay: Two cozy rooms with queen size beds, closet room, living room with soft couch, kitchen, landry room, garage.

Example of Oakwood housing (I can't show mine without camera)

I guess I better stop here before being hunted by green monsters, :D. Though I have my own worries, as everyone do. 'Til next time.

(FYI, time here is GMT -6. So the time difference with MY, SG which are at GMT +8 zone is 14 hours. Just know whether to +14 or -14, you will know time at both sides.)
