Aside from being a home to civil rights, Memphis was also home to Elvis Presley. So the TJs head to Graceland. Lot of the polls on the message boards says that we cannot go to Memphis without visiting Elvis Presley’s house.

So here we are in Graceland. Ooh… It’s homely, but it’s got a lot of ornate touches like it’s a, kind of represents a Sherman ship. It’s much smaller than I imagined but the point is it’s very comfortable. It’s somewhere that you yourself would live in. It’s very different. It’s very creative inside. Mm hmmm. I actually finally, finally understand there’s a pretty young thing waiting for the king down in the jungle room. This is the jungle room. This is Elvis Presley’s uh… tuxedo or suit, during his wedding. It’s paisley.

Those suits he’s got, it’s just… it’s so Elvis. It’s just him. The colour and the vibrancy, I think it reflects flamboyant personality. There’s like so much jewel, and so much like uh… crystal on his outfit. It was really amazing to walk into the racquet court which was converted into his trophy room. Just stepping into what used to be his record wall building and seeing the wall pasted with all his gold and platinum records was just kind of overwhelming.
