Day (oops I lost count.. 1st full day in NYC, whichever day that is)

Times Square (even the Macs is so fancy)

Times Square (this is the column where the giant crystal ball is supposed to be dropped on New Year's eve)

buskers we saw in the subway station.. This is what real breakdance should look like..

Day 2 in NYC
Visited Central Park since it's next too our hostels. Huge park in the middle of the city. Beautiful sunny day, but still a bit cold for park visiting. New Yorkers love dogs. So many people walking dogs on a weekday in the park.

Central Park


Pretty?

Had lunch at a bagel place. Yay bagel. Really filling but happy. Then went to see Statue of Liberty again cos the weather is much better. Super windy on the ferry and super crowded, so I spent most of the time hiding in the cabin. Luckily the ferry's free. Then wanted to go Empire State Building. Xuxu's friend came and Grace's friend came so they accompanied their friends, Sunny and I went to Empire State Building. Not very nice of us I know, to leave them, but.. nvm.

Empire State Building, extremely long lines. There was a line to get into the building, and after getting in, there's a snaky line to get through the security checks, and after the security checks, there's a snaky line to buy tickets, and after the tickets are bought, there's a line to get into the elevator, then there's a line to get to the 2nd elevator at the 83rd floor, and finally you're there. So queued for a total of 2+h to get up. Gosh. And guess what, saw Sunny's senior up there. Haha. Told you we meet people we know everywhere in NYC. The view from Empire State is really beautiful, even at night. I like the night view, it's just too windy. And I'm not paranoid about planes flying low or anything like that, so I enjoyed myself up there. Had a penny pressed. =)
