Searching for honey
Short Note:
Singapore is ahead of Virginia by half a day.
So tune the clock back by 12 hours and you’ll get the time zone at my location.
4 connecting flights and a gruesome 35 hours journey later, we’ve finally arrived at Richmond international airport.

Richmond is the state capital of Virginia with a population of 200,000 and is a 2 hours drive away from Washington DC.
 One of the many boarding passes we had on our travel itinerary. |
 An Ipod vending machine! How cool is that? |
More about Richmond later as we were quickly whisked to our tour bus once the luggage was collected and all the students were accounted for.
 We sure bought lots of stuff for this trip. |
 I’m on Work & Travel baby! |
 The gloomy skies won’t be dampening our spirits anytime. |

We will be temporary staying at this hotel called Kings Quarters for a week before moving to our official accomodation in downtown Richmond.
At USD$38 (S$52) a week for the amenities they’re providing us, I’m living like a king already!

 Our building - block 500. |
 Interior of the room. |
 Our improvised IT corner. |
 Laundry and personal care corner. |
 Ops! |
 The TV corner. |
 Attached fridge and microwave oven. |
We were told its pretty free and easy and we’ll have the whole of Tuesday to explore around town until work commences on Wednesday.
After checking in, a group of us left the hotel in search for some honey to satisfy our cravings.

Honey… mustard that is.
