After our midterm week we desired some fun, so thus we decided to go down to Atlantic City.

Hamden-Philadelphia-Atlantic City-Cape May-Cape May Point-Hamden - 535 miles

Philadelphia's second best PhillyCheeseSteak place, it is the second one, because we were standing in the line at the best one:) That was about 70 ft long and it took about 30 seconds to get your phillysteak sandwich. I was a little bit disappointed about the food. That was not #1 place. The sandwich is pretty simple: one roll, some beef, two pieces of american cheese and who is the next one - shouting loudly??? Well, and it was $10. OK, i thought there was another counter where you could get some free stuff, such as ketchup (as I thought), mustard, dried chili and sour spicy apple paprika. So I poured a lot of ketchup and picked up 4 pieces of  paprika.  

 Avid Bence is suffering from the expensive sandwich that he made inedible. Great Bence! Congrats! I was crying because of the XXX hot sauce (was not KETCHUP at all) and paprika. OMG, that was terrible! I did not buy coke since I had water in my car. Aziz helped me out with his soda. Thanks Aziz.:)

Indeed, everybody else was enjoying his/her sandwich. It is so typical, when Bence wants to beat something he always has to learn the lesson:)

Beautiful Philadelphia with great people 

Hungarians are everywhere:) 

Almost at the Rocky steps 

In front of the Museum of Arts... 

...where Rocky Balboa in the epic scene was running up on the 72 stairs of the Museum of Arts

Rocky had about the same size of shoes that I have:)

Opposite angle with the same great friends!

After arriving to Atlantic City we went to buy some booze and food. Enjoying our well-desired time:)

Atlantic City

Chillin with Jing, Lisanne, and Aziz, Xiao took the picture and we were waiting for the other companion (Andras and other four Chinese friends)

OK, so here is the thing. We went into the biggest casino in Atlantic City, it is the Caesar's. I did not want to gamble, BUT i was walking around and saw a voucher about 15 cents, i took it and was wondering what if i lose these 15 cents? Nothing. So I put it into a slot machine and started to play. It takes about 15 seconds to learn the basics. It is enough to lose your entire budget if you are stupid, or can make some money if you are smart. 

 

So I turned a 15 cents voucher into 1$ and 33 cents in about 2 minutes.

Here is how much i love money.

It was time to reinvest and make more! It is simple physiology. Easy money makes you stupid, so it made me too.

But I won again!!!

Even happier Bence:) Finally without investing any cents of my money I closed the night with 54 cents pure profit! It is great, isn't? Everybody had a great time there, we enjoyed ourselves so much in Atlantic City.

Almost everybody

 Aziz took a picture of this ever-lasting moment (this is the proof that Andris was also with us, jumping in the middle)

 On Sunday we went down to Cape May Point that is the southernmost point of the Jersey Shore with a beautiful Light House.

I mostly watched the fishers, didnt care much about such a beautiful scene and weather. 

I had to go into the water. 

October 20th, 2012, Cape May, NJ - closing day for this season

Heading home! One thing I learnt during this trip is that I will never ever take George Washington bridge again! We were sitting in a huge traffic jam about three hours or so. I was so unabashed, aggressive but still took forever to get to the bridge. If we did not see at least 9 accidents in 5 miles, we had not seen any. It was my worst driving experience. Terrible, exhausting, stressful, hopeless, etc. It is very scary when you have to change lines and at the same time a 18 wheeler also has to change lines and it doesn't see you in its blind spot and you cannot move anywhere...and it is still coming and coming.... 

The happy driver who carried his crew home in safe. 

10 of us had a great time in Atlantic City and a great weekend:) Keep going guys! Only one half of this semester left. It is not much to get this job done:)
