Atlantic City..

Atlantic City, a place to live your dreams.. If you're a gambler that is. Theres casinos all over the place, and most of it is owned by the great Donald J. Trump. Ok.. lets not jump straight to the highlight (like theres any.. :P). I'll start from the beginning. It was a two hour drive from Whippany. Again.. its all green, two lane highway, 3 tolls. Andy printed a map to this tourist attraction on the outskirt of Atlantic City. Can't remember the name of it though. Its a hotel!! can you believe it. I though it was a huge sculpture or something.. But there were windows at the belly and hinds of the elephant. It was right beside the beach. I saw a few dolphins swimming close to the shoreline. Its like in the movies.. except its real. Can't believe my eyes.. dolphins!!! By the time my camera phone was ready to take some shots, they swam away :(













From there we headed straight to the heart of Atlantic city. There were lots of cops there.. got a bit nervous. Guys who know me well, know why. Parked the car (it was USD6 for 12 hours), got something to eat, and started my latest adventure. It was great food by the way. Found this halal place to eat, Crown Fried Chicken. Name sounds American right?? but they serve Chicken biryanis... at it was spicy. Since i've been here, nothing was really hot and spicy. This one got my nose running and a bit sweating. Remember, I'm sweating at 40+F. Its really spicy.


We walked pass a casino to get to the boardwalk. It was full of people.. old people!!! I guess theres nothing much to do here when you're old. Got money, nothing to do.. just make someone else a few millions richer. Why not?? Passed through, and arrived at the boardwalk. It was a sea side walkway. The first thing I should say, the sunlight was blinding. It took me at least 10 minutes to adjust to the bright condition. Made our way leftwards, towards Trump Taj Mahal. On the way, found a Korean war memorial, Hard Rock Cafe, a freakish puppet master. His look was scary.. but his puppet.. 10 x scarier. Kinda reminded me of Chucky.. and that Saw movie puppet. Pictures attached. Another thing is.. back home you got cats begging for food at stalls. Here, you get sea gulls doing the same. A really handful bunch.


Walked there till nightfall.. took a few pictures.. and made our way home. It was a good experience. Tired of walking.. but worthwhile. A place that really... really.. and I mean really make you plan your future.. so you don't end up old.. alone.. and gambling your money away... Lesson learnt. Till then.......
