Whitehall/Bethlehem, PA

 

 

I should have put down the events that had happened during our Whitehall trip.

 

We left on Friday evening on 6/26, we had Vinni driving for about 2 hours first and then we stopped at an Old Saybrook Shopping Center in Connecticut to get some burgers recommended by Vinni’s colleague. It was a nice area, definitely need to return to this area. We had our burgers and Vinni wanted to drive some more. She drove for an hour and then we got lost so we decided to switch back to Eric driving. We didn’t get to PA until 2am.

 

We woke up at 10 in the morning and we began sorting our Freddy’s clothes. He had like 4 trash bags of clothings. Nobody wanted to take his unused socks, undershirt, jeans with tags on – so we were going to donate everything, for a cause. Frank kept some Red Sox and Obama t-shirts, and Jason took Freddy’s jersey. While cleaning out Freddy’s closet, we found a CD case with chinese porn inside – that was a major discovery!! More exciting than finding a hundred dollar bill. We knew we were going to find something like that, but actually seeing them was exciting, haha.

 

Freddy also had some gift cards that he had left over, and he had a big cup of coins in there. We all guessed how much was in it and we went to the coin machine to exchange them for cash, and we were going to use it to have dinner. We all guessed somewhat between $50 to $65…..but Yee guessed $85 and the total came out to be $93 – but taken out the commission it was $83….we were all surprised by the amount, all the coins and quarters added up to something big. So it was a nice treat, we went to a sushi restaurant for dinner, the total came out to be two hundred something.

 

We finished cleaning everything up by 2. There wasn’t much to clean, just pack everything in bags and boxes. There were 9 people there to help out – me, Yee, Vinni, Eric, Frank, Jason. And we had Freddy’s roommate Dan and his friends – Lauren and this other girl. We didn’t have to sort out everything like I had thought either, because Frank said just dump everything into one box and he will sort through them in Boston. So it only take several hours. We spent the rest of the afternoon staying in the apartment doing nothing. I suggested going somewhere but Freddy’s roommate was there so we wanted to include him too, and he’s Jewish so I guess there’s no point of going NYC and force him to eat Chinese food with us.

 

Before dinner we checked out the new casino at Bethlehem. It’s not a casino yet, because table games have not been approved by the state yet so all they have now is slot machines. We looked at the “blue print” of the upcoming Sands Resort and it’s going to be huge. Something exciting for the locals but I really don’t like having it 5 minutes away from a University.
