Yeah, most probably will be travelling for 1 month, but I can't think of many places to go to.
If I'm going to work at the East coast, I should be able to go to the cities during my off days.
And the only place I plan on visiting over at the West coast should only be Vegas and the Canyons lol.

Btw my convo is in July as well, but I deferred it to November for WAT

Lucky. Convo in my uni only once a year. Impossible for me to defer.

hey...im one of the participants of WAT too...will be going to Colorado...im still searching for flights to get there...anyone know if www.wego.com is reliable to book flights? because the offers from there is really cheap!

hey wenzhenzhen,

may i know what is your main mode of transport while you were travelling in US? i planned to travel from west coast to east coast (last destination is New York)...and visit only the big cities...but i afraid i will waste most of the time travelling on road only...

Best place in terms of earning money because I spent when I still work at CP too. :/ Holiday in Alaska is really costly. Minimum wage and hours are set by the government,so they subjected to the law. Work there depends on your hardwork.

I use southwest airline from new york to san francisco. I encourage you to fly because the journey from west to east take 8 hours. If amtrak it takes 3 days.

Yeah it is ok. I normally use www.kayak.com. For domestic airlines i prefer to use southwest

Did you get a second job there?

Winter trip? What job do you got?

i dont mind taking train as i would like to stop at some cities for visiting... but is taking train costs more than taking flight? How much did you spend for the one month trip ?

Thanks a lot for you help!!!

yes..winter...General clerk/cashier...

you going for winter as well?

How i wish But no, hopefully next summer, if i can get a job and visa

may i know where was your last destination for your trip as well? i would like to depart from New york to Kuala Lumpur so New york would be my last destination for my trip....

im taking off to US next month!!! hehe...

the job and the visa are not hard to get as long as you are still a legal student...hehe...good luck!

How was the visa interview? I kinda worry about that one. What did they ask? Btw, good luck for your trip !!

the visa interview was very easy...for me, the whole interview only lasted for few minutes ...lol...the questions asked were:
"what are you studying"
"which university are you attending?"
"how do you know about this program?"
"are you going with friend?"

"your visa is approved."

That's all....lol...

but i would say its all depend on your luck ...depend on which interviewer you got...some interviewers are rather strict...

wow gotta pray hard before going

My last trip is LA and I fly back KL via EVA Air. Enjoy your trip haha! Anyway it is snowing at north so bring more warm clothing. I encourage you to buy more warm clothing there because it is authentic.

Well it is almost the same. If you planning to stop some cities, you can book multi-way haha.

here is my brief itinerary during the trip:

17/9-23/9 - New york
23/9-27/9 - san francisco
28/9-3/10 - LA
3/10-4/10 - San diego(staying at mum friend's house)
4/10 - 6/10 - Las Vegas n grand canyon
7/10 - 11/10 - San Diego
12 - 13/10 - Disneyland and universal studios

Hope this helps. PS: dont stay too long in LA, it is pretty boring after i stay there for 3 nites. 2 nites i sleep and enjoy in my hostel mansion like a boss.
