Michigan (Lansing, East Lansing, Michigan State University)

When Indiana Hoosiers meets Michigan Spartans, what will happen?

During thanksgiving week, there were tonnes of assignments hitting my head! Oh no! Despite all the works, I decided to go Michigan instead of Chicago XD...Me, XW, Meor, Ami, Tipa,Pika, Shieren made up our mind to visit our MSU friends! hahaha, and of coz Shearon, the kindest host ever! We traveled 9 hours from Indianapolis to Lansing, the capital of Michigan...You will never feel time passed when it was late night, but when you travel 8 hours sth in the morning, you did feel tired, seriously!

DAY 1

Arrived at Lansing, Cata Bus station
The Bus station
Inside the bus station, you can see everywhere is full of art!

Tower in MSU, one of their landmark
We found something on the tower, "whatsoever man," do you know what it means?
A funny incident, a dog's tail is mix up with the rope, LOL
You are right, it is a BLACK squirrel! It is black
I just amazed by the unique scenery in MSU, the stream is soooo clean!
It is very clean until you can see the bottom and rocks very clearly
Nice right!

DAY 3
Lake Lansing

The Lake Lansing is under Ingham State Park name in Michigan

At night, we went to TIM HOUSTON after Lansing mall
Thanks to Uya for treating us the donuts!
Lol, I still think J-CO donuts are better
My results:
Levis jean: USD 19>cheap!
Michigan State shirt:USD 4.20
American Eagle Outfitter: USD 50 for 2 (sweater and long sleeve)>>cheap!
Quiksilver shirt:USD 5
Boots: USD 26.70
Turtle neck shirt: USD 8

That's black friday sales! everything can be really cheap, from 50% until 70% !!! some people even went to outlets since 12am to grab the cheap stuffs! I'd say most of the things here are cheap, you can get it in TJmax or Marshall, but it's still cheap! lol


After having fun, it's assignment time again...physic final, statistic final, final draft and script!!! BYE BYE for now!
