Heavenly baklavas
|
|
|
|
I worked in Tempe for 5 months in 2001 and passed this tiny Middle eastern restaurant/grocery store every day. Finally after 2 years I suggested to my husband to give this place a try.They have the best baklavas in town which are made fresh daily in the store.

Phoenix Zoo Part III
|
|
|
We spent Labor day at the Phoenix Zoo. It was blistering hot that Monday morning. I found out how the animals cool down under the hot summer sun of Arizona.

Where's the gas?
|
 |
|
Lining up for gas at a gas station in Chandler, Arizona
|
|
|
|
A pipeline leakeage in Tucson caused the gasoline shortage in Phoenix and several cities surounding the valley area. With 1/3 of the gas supply being cut, gasoline prices skyrocketed in the valley. I heard of one gas station was charging its customers US$4.00 per gallon for unleaded gas.

Since I had an appointment with the Malaysian Consulate in Los Angeles, we took the kids to Disneyland for 3 days. We stayed at Paradise Pier Hotel - part of Disney resort- just across the street from Disney California Adventure Park.
I love the kiddie rides - It's a Small World and Mad Tea Party. My old heart was too fragile for those heart stopping, stomach churning rides. But I managed to gather enough strength to brave the bumpy Indiana Jones Adventure ride - not good if you have osteoporosis.

A beautiful April day at the Arizona Asian Festival which was held at Patriot's Square Park in downtown Phoenix. The best place to be for a dose of food and culture from the Asian communities in Arizona. I love the vegetarian samosas sold by the Indian association.
