Macbride Hall

Macbride Hall was one of the five buildings of the Pentacrest on the campus of the University of Iowa. Yoojin and I was really bored so we decided to explore the museums in Macbride Hall.

This is the auditorium where I have my Statistics lectures at.
The Museum of Natural History.
The Hall of Mammals.
This huge thing which was hanging above my head reminded me of "Night at the Museum". Pandas are one of the cutest things on earth!
The Hall of Birds.

Ice Cream Social

Ice Cream Social is an event organized by the Office of International Students and Scholars (OISS) on the Pentacrest Lawn. Suresh, Soung and I just basically went there for free ice creams after our trip to Crossroads Tattoo in Coralville where Soung made his appointment on Saturday for his "Kaizen" (Japanese for "Improvement") tattoo. It's quite a good choice, I think since he gotta make massive improvements in himself and that's gonna be a lifetime reminder. There's nothing much to talk about except for some pictures to see.

Look at Suresh! How on earth did he manage to do that? And I'm not talking about how good he is at performing his "sticking-spoon-on-nose" stunt but didn't he realize that he was actually doing a "sticking-dirty-contaminated-spoon-filled-with-saliva-on-nose" stunt? Ew, that's kinda gross!

Coming back to ice creams. I'm growing to love strawberry toppings and I'm so addicted to Whitey's yogurt ice creams. I just can't get enough of those!

Frisbee Golf

I've heard of frisbee but never have I heard of frisbee golf. Frisbee golf also known as disc golf is a game in which players have to throw their discs into a basket. The fewer number of throws the better. So it's pretty much the same as golf.

Last Sunday, Madison invited me and Suresh over to his crib for hamburgers. His house is huge! The decorations and a fireplace gives it a cozy feeling that gives Suresh another reason to live in the states =P

After eating hamburgers, we went to the Turkey Creek for some fun frisbee golf time with Madison's twin brother, Queenie. Suresh's first throw was terrible! It landed by the side of the road but after a few throws, he got better! Halfway through the game, Madison gave me a rainbow disc to join in the fun. Needless to say, I did worse than Suresh. My number of throws were triple theirs and so I ended up taking pictures!

The Surroundings Around Motel 6

Motel 6 is in Coralville and there are not many places to go around here except for food outlets. It's where starving to death would be the last thing that would happen here.

This is a BP gas station right next to the motel.
The Edge Restaurant where Madison warned us not to go.
The Cancun Mexican Restaurant.
KFC.
Burger King.
Super 8 Inn.
Crossroads Tattoo where Suresh wanted to get a tattoo but too bad, it was closed.
Golfzilla, a salon and some other shops.
Bruegger's Bagel Bakery where we had branch before going downtown.
My "Four Cheese & Tomato".
Suresh would walk for miles just for his "Tuna Paninis".
Arby's.
My Roast Chicken Club at Arby's.
It was damn good! *Slurp*.
I'll upload more pictures after I explore downtown. Feeling a little lazy now and I'm so hating blogspot's photo uploader. BOO! *Thumbs down*.
