I joined a group of friends for a tour of the Columbia Fire Museum and Educational Center and I thoroughly enjoyed each and every moment that we spent at the magnificent museum. My friends were...

This highyway is as wide as wide can be. Also, crossing the streets of Greer SC is relatively safe. Though people seldom - if never - cross Wade Hampton Hway, take note that when you do cross anywhere Greer's streets, its the cars which stop for you and not you stop for the cars. This is a...

It was my first time to experience frost. It was both like and unlike refrigerator-frost. But this time, it was the trees and the leaves that froze and gave out ice sticks, not just fridge water. My virgin-eyes thought it was a beautiful thing to see. If you want to re-live it, make sure to...

First off, a tip: when in the US, biscuits mean and looks something like a muffin or a cupcake. So I was surprised and my palate cannot completely understand why fried chicken is eaten along with muffins. Their chicken tastes good, but I ate them with rice. The "biscuits" I ate as a dessert.

When I entered a Pizza Hut chain in Greer, the scent immediately brought me back to the Pizza Hut restaurant in Manila, Philippines. Even our ordered super supreme tastes exactly the same. I thought this meant that Pizza Hut has maintained its trademark standards to a tee. Anyway, I enjoyed...

Located in Wade Hampton, Applebee's offered us a buffet dinner most of which comprised of forgettable dishes, steamed veggies, pasta that tasted like they were fresh from the microwave. We could have cooked the same thing in our house and it would have tasted a lot better.

The good thing about Greer's rural-ness is that you need not go far to get fresh home-grown vegetables. Literally fresh vegetables are available in houses and neighbors who have grown them in their own backyards and so pick them fresh right off the ground. Try to walk and pass by friendly...

There really isn't much public transportation in Greenville. There are cabs which you could call if you need a ride and they will deliver themselves right outside your house. The buses available are on specific times but I did not see any while I was there. It would be best if you have your...

When we stepped out of the car and walked towards the famous Furman campus lake, we were instantly approached - not by people - but birds. These include ducks and swans 2-3 feet tall. The swans opened its wings seemingly welcoming us when we were told it is actually waiting for us to give it...

Furman is basically located at the center of a wooded campus. We were there during the summer and so the campus was bare and almost empty except for some visitors like us enjoying the area's sights. I remember there was a sign right before you enter the woods that no one is really allowed...

The first thing that struck me most about Furman University is its perfect and beautiful landscape. It was right out of a postcard, the beautiful lake and the delightful white swans that glided on the water was breathtaking. No wonder, Furman was one of the more than three hundred beautiful...

There is a Bell Tower in Furman University that is actually a replica of another tower that used to stand in Greenville's downtown men's campus. It is a structure that stands perfectly a little beyond the lake and seems to complement the picturesque campus scene.
