Shakopee - 6 May 2007

Worramon check in here...

Today morning after we finished packing, our host family, the Kims, brought us for brunch at the Perkins. It's an all-day restaurant that served all meals but they're very famous for breakfast. (Just like "IHOP" if someone may have been in the US, they might know this IHOP.) I had a "hearty man's breakfast" set. It's a dish consists of sausages, 2 sunny-side ups eggs and 3 pancakes! Well, I didn't finish them up. It was just too much.

Then, Mr. Dennis Kim brought us back home to get our luggages and he drove us to Shakopee. The meeting point was called "Dangerfield's."

(Oh, yeah, what a name!)

It was so funny, when we were picked up, our host family, they don't realise that our luggages were so many that couldn't fit in a car. It was mines and Nok's combined altogether. (This time, Nok and me, we stay together.)

So, he called a "Squad guard" for help. One of the Hopkins host family was shocked and amazed. She couldn't believe that there could be anyone calls a squad guard (= police) for help. At first we thought it was a joke until the police car really arrived!  

We learned later that our host is a Police Chief and the car that he called was a police car!   

The house where we stay now is in Burnsville. Actually, I know well Burnsville because Mr. John Swaney's mother is also living in Burnsville. We went to pick her up here for the Greek restaurant.

In the afternoon, we had a choice of activity we wanted to do, so we chose to go to Mall of America for the fourth time (for me.) Nok has got a new luggage because her old small green one is apparently now too small. I have got a new Nine West travel bag, well, I think it's bigger than my backpack and very suitable for my LCD projector.

For dinner we had rice, veggies and chicken. Nok discovered new seasonings called "Hot Salt" on the table and she enjoyed it very much.

Tomorrow morning, we'll leave the house at 7.30 am. We'll have vocational visits. Nok is going for food company and since they can't arrange anything for me because the hotel staff weren't co-operative, so my host, Dan, offers to let me have a chance to get on a police car for patrol! WOW! Isn't that cool? I'm so excited already!
