無聊-ing @ Buffalo, NY

I'm not a shopaholic, so I never know there are lots of things to do at Buffalo other than going to malls and shopping for clothes (sounds like an idiot huh~)!!  My aunt travels to Buffalo alot and she knows the area very well, she brought us to places that I've never thought of going.  =)  Now I sort of know the area too and I can expand and explore myself next time when I go!  =D  Spend a few bucks in gas and get to know the city well, this is priceless~

 6:48am, sunrise...  I usually get up early but I seldom go out at this time!

 Waiting for my Mom to come and pick me up, I was wandering around taking random pics.

 Baked cheese balls, this container alone is bigger than my head!

 Cupcakes, found these in one of the grocery store.

 Another shot at the cupcakes.

 Pork roast w/ veggies.  This is for lazy people!  LOL!!

 Potato bread, we don't see this often in Toronto.

 Assorted food color.

 Cooking spray oils, that's a lot of choices to choose from.

 Marshmallow in red, white and blue!!  This is so American!  LOL

 They also have it in chocolate flavor.

 Holy!  They have chocolate & mint as well!   "Add extra flare to your favorite brownies by topping the pan w/ 30 chocolate mint marshmallows during the last 3 mins of baking."  ....Ewwww.............

 Super size cereal, 38oz!!  My Mom thought this is a bag of dog food at first!  LOL!!

 Another type of cereal, something I seldom eat for breakfast.

 Tea + lemonade = lemon tea, right??!

 3L!!  We usually have 2L here in Toronto.  I'm sure my husband can finish this w/n an hour!!

 Assorted shredded cheese.  Its not a surprise that the States have all sorts of shredded cheese, I used to buy this alot too, to make big beef burrito~~

 Two parrot cichlids here, guarding the 'bridge' and protect their fries.

 Lunch time, this grocery store is preparing sandwiches for customers.  Ham and cheese w/ mustard sauce.

 This one must be roast beef w/ sauerkraut??!

 I'm surprise that they sell Chinese food (american style) in this grocery store too!

 Mexican enchiladas, I never have this before....it looks a bit gross to me...

 Count!!  How many traffic lights do you see here?!  =D

 My aunt went shopping...  I got nothing to do but taking random shots in different stores.  Took this pic at William Sonoma.

 ...Cupcake decorating kit...  Honestly, how many people is gonna look at the bottom of the cupcake while eating it??!

 My aunt went crazy in this ?? store here...  Bored, I just took random pictures again.

 Coffee mugs, $8 at Anthropologies.

 Stacks of old newspapers, $28/stack!  This must be a joke!!

 Assorted coffee mugs.

 Mom's turn, she was having fun at Sephora.  I was having fun too, playing nail polish w/ my Mom!!  =D

 Saranac, 4 beer flavors in one case!!  That's neat!

 No joke!  $0.24 per banana!!

 I went to Pet's Mart while my aunt and Mom were crazy shopping at somewhere else.  Kinda interesting to see they see the water plants here in tubes!

 Took a picture of this budgie while passing by.

 Greek yogurt, one of my aunt's 'must buy' item.

 Pome flavor, wonder how it tastes.  I have one at home but I haven't eat yet....

 Jumbo jumbos!!

 Herring fillets, this used to be my favorite.  'Used to be...'!

 Red/white grapes cooking wine!!  I'd rather get a bottle of real wine!!

 Coconut soda!!  This grocery store sells all sorts of weird flavored sodas!

 Milk is sold in jug in the States, and here in Canada milk is sold in plastic bags!!  LOL!!

 Holy Sh*t!  Look at the size~~~~!!

 $3.10 for 10 big chicken drumsticks, that's a good price.  =D

 Glass, plastic & cans recycle, why don't we have this in Ontario??!

 No latas aplastadas, I should learn Spanish one day!!

Cotton candy, something I didn't eat for a long time....

$10 for 10 pies!  That's a crazy price!!  Don't get me wrong, this pie is actually very small, palm size only!

Palm size elephant garlic, Mom said this garlic is tasteless...

Yogurt size fresh fruit cups...  $10 for 10 as well...  (Ewww...)

Plastic bags & twist ties.

M&M's scented candle.  What scent do they have?!  Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate & chocolate!  LOL!!

Assorted spice.

Here is another shot at their recycle 'thing'.  We should promote this in Ontario!!

Protein shots....ewww!!!

8pm, time to go home now.

Buffalo city at dusk.

Heading towards Peace Bridge.

Crossing the border only took us 10 mins.

Mom love this truck, she said its very pretty, so I took a picture of it.  Its very blurry, I know!!  =P

Its getting dark...and I think we're on QEW.

Saw this truck again~~  My aunt was driving so fast, I took a chance, turned my head around and snap!

Took this shot from the side view mirror.  Traffic jam...cars were slowing down and I was able to make the shot.

Cars were moving slowly, I rolled down the window and took this shot.  That's it!

Stuck in traffic jam, I arrived home at 11pm!!
