On our way back to Estes Park.

A big herd of Elks, bigger than deer, smaller than a bull.

There are naturally 3 herds(groups) of elk hanging around.

1 herd is all male elk, have the thick and more branches pair of horns. (Elks with horns are male.)

1 herd is mummy elk with their teenage young elk, the young elk will leave their mum after 2 years of attaching with mum.

Another herd is all teenage elks that already 2 yrs more big enough to leave mum and prepare for mating.

So this herd is the 2nd herd. They live in group, on the hill, and they always came down to the town to look for fresh nutritious grass to grow thicker fur for winter.

But we are not going to work here.
We work at Aspen Dining, where we have our every meals there. Staff share the dining with the guests. Just our meals are free based on our staff ID.

We get our staff ID. its just a blink of an eye then its done.

Uncle Darrel invited us to Boulder, 30 miles from here tomorrow at 9am, to have a walk, take lots and lots and lots of picture, and to shop.

He said there will have plenty of green card boys and girls too.

"Green Card boy" : foreign girls come to US aim to marry with US guys will get a green card, that have higher priority to get US citizenship, and can have both 2 countries citizen at one time.

There are lots of bronze statues everywhere. Its just one of them.

Its Dick Hall. Sim laughed so hard about the name of the hall. ( u know it..)

There is Winter Bash event here, where everyone are free to come to have dance together after the work.

The hall is fully decorated with beautiful handmade decorations by the RA office staffs.

Altho its just only few people attended, but we still have a really crazy fun night dancing crazily together. They play songs like Shake It Off, Single Lady, Bailando, Ariana Grande's Break Free, and some previous hot hits songs. And get to know some new friends, like

Derek (Washington, food service together with us, work & travel prog until March),
Lina
Ciara (teacher until May, she used to be teacher in somewhere for 2.5 yrs, until someday she would wanted some changes in her life to be not so exhausted. So she just give up on everything and came up here and now she is totally in love in here.)
Dawn, Taylor (teacher)
Gogo

B4 the party this evening, 2 more Malaysian reached here, June girl) and Alian (boy, read as "A Lion", but we always call him 阿连), just stay right beside our room. Tomorrow they will be following us and Uncle Darrel for the Boulder trip too. They have been staying in LA for 6 days b4 reaching here. And suggest a lot of places for us as references. They will be working until March 15 and then travel around US for another month. We was told that Baro (in Alaska) has the 北极光，OMG i want it in our travel list!!! But it won't be possible coz its too far away from where we planned. Furthermore, their flight from KL to US round trip fees is just RM2k, and we are like...WTF.. Ours are RM5k?! bcoz their flight is Delta airlines, while our are United airlines, just like the difference of AirAsia with MAS. In the other words, with this cheaper flight, maybe me & u can go to Baro in future time!!! =目

Call it a night here. Looking forward for Boulder trip tml.
