D.N.A 2009-2010 World Tour gigography

All good things must come to an end. After 14 months, the D.N.A World Tour is set to return home to Taiwan for a grand finale at Taichung on 24 July 2010.

I've listed the entire gigography for the world tour (did I miss any stops?) Of the total 42 concerts, I would have attended 17 of them by the end - which is about 40% of the tour. Not bad eh? :)

Bangkok dangerous

I got to know this evening from my friend in Bangkok that Central World was set on fire in the afternoon by rioters. I spent some time shopping there during my trip to Bangkok in March 2009. It was walking distance from the hotel I stayed in Pratunam area and along the way we stopped to have dinner by the sidewalk, right before reaching Central World. Best som tum I've ever had in my life.

Situation in Bangkok is worsening. Telephone signals were out today. The Thai government have declared curfew tomorrow. May 17 and 18 which were declared as holiday have now been extended to the end of the week to keep people off the streets for their safety. I hope my friends in Bangkok are safe.

Art, Jib, Tangmo, Fern and Nuch, if you guys are reading this... stay safe!

It's official - no additional Taichung concert :)

Late last night (or very early this morning, depending on how you see it XD) B'in Music issued a follow-up statement announcing that there will NOT be an additional Taichung concert.

7/24台中演唱會為最終場 無加場

The vast majority of fans (including yours truly) are relieved - I don't think any of us would wanna go through another round of ticket war!

Don't believe the truth

B'in Music issued a statement today evening titled "Please do not believe the unofficial news" in response to the news about an additional Taichung concert that caused an uproar.

Despite the announcement, some fans are still skeptical as the official announcement did not state that "there won't be a second show" @.@

As much as I want to see more of them, I'm not in favour of an additional show. The 724 show was announced as the final [最終場] show and they should just end the world tour in a single grand finale.

Got my Taichung final DNA ticket =]

Got my 7/24五月天變形DNA無限放大版演唱會IN台中ticket (well actually it's still with my friend in Taipei...)

A big thank you to Tik for the awesome ticket ^^ *muaksss*

Taichung D.N.A ticket war

It's been a(nother) busy week. Tickets for the 24/7 Taichung D.N.A concert went on sale at 5:55PM this past Tuesday. A total of 30,000 tickets were up for grabs, and they were completely snapped up within a couple of hours. So what else is new?

Buying 五月天 Taiwan concert tickets is almost always a frustrating ordeal LOL. Hope everyone managed to get their tickets.

Taichung DNA tickets

Ticket sale for Taichung D.N.A concert on 24 July 2010 will commence tomorrow 11 May 2010 at 5:55PM (Taiwan local time GMT/UTC + 08:00 hour) . As usual, tickets can be bought online at ERA's website

Anyone who has bought tickets for the previous Taipei and Kaohsiung D.N.A concerts the past year would know what an arduous tiring process ticket buying can be.

Good luck everyone!

In-N-Out Burger

Continuing my saga on great American food.. In-N-Out Burger is not to be missed if you're visiting California. They're an American fast food chain of restaurants with outlets only in west coast US selling yummy burgers to die for!

I didn't know of their existence until my travel buddy sunset2712 told me about it upon hearing it from her brother's American friends.

So when we got to California, we made a point to try their infamous burger. The closest outlet to our hotel was at Sunset Boulevard.

In-N-Out at Sunset Blvd

The menu was simple. They only sell hamburger, cheeseburger and double double (double meat & double cheese). I later came to know that you could order customised burgers e.g jungle style with more vege.

We both had the double double. I had the highly recommended chocolate shake which I thought was overrated. The burger itself, was in a class of its own. It was juicy and tasty. And best of all it was inexpensive! Our bill of two double double, drinks and fries came up to only a little over $12. Nothing beats a satisfying inexpensive meal.

Definitely the best fast food hamburger place that I have ever been to :)

* Thank you sunset2712 for the photos. My photos were deleted because I had absent-mindedly forgot to switch my SD card before the LA D.N.A concert. Had to delete all my photos :(
