Day 1- NY + Day 2 - Niagara, Cave of e Winds

new york new york! its exactly wat i see in tv and movies. buildings n more buildings. cars. yellow cabs. honking. rubbish all arnd e streets. in fact i find NY quite a dirty city. n e pple here r not too friendly. n asians tk up lk almost 30% of e pple here. it's lk i c so many yellow skinned black hairs arnd. didnt get to cover much during our 1 day coz we wanted to tour aft work.

us in e m&m shop. we went crazy in there! not buying chocs but taking fotos!!! tis one was a rotating statue we had to wait our turn n capture e exact moment hee.

with e m&m statue of liberty!! didnt get to go to the real ting tis time round so we got a substitue!

can u guess who is who? hee. shdnt b diff lar. but tis is damn spastic. i bet e person who took it for us muz have laffed at us. but we couldnt even c. n we didnt even noe whether e pic was taken already not. but i totally heart tis!!

n of coz, we all heart NY.

across e road in e hershey's shop. juz look at e huge bar of choc. it's real ok! i bet whoever eats that will die. lk really die lor.

at soho. it's a v v v upmarket place. super high end. all e most branded brands are here. there r many shops by local designers too. n their prods, even e v basic kind all starts with 3 digits. how to buy tings??!??

we even had trouble finding food to eat coz everyting looked so expensive. so in e end we settled for indian food (lk wth rt? come US eat indian food?!?!?!??) but e only reason we chose tis was coz they had 50% off lunch specials. so it was affordable. hahaas. e food turned out to b ok lar. their curry is made of tomatoes lor. can u imagine???

\us taking e subway to our hostel. e subway here is also a flat rate, same to philly. but it's slightly more ex. it's $2 per ride but we got e day pass which was $7. e subway is easy to navigate. everywhere is pretty accessible.

waiting to check in into e hostel. we stayed in jazz on e lenox. only cost us arnd $20 per person. it was in e harlem district (aka e blacks district). we didnt noe until we reached there lor. it's lk once we get off e subway we only c blacks. hahas. not that im racist or anyting lar. we wanted to book a hostel near there for our aft work but we changed our minds.

our room. it was for 12pple but e 12th person nv show up. there were 11 of us. n in e pic u c mr mao. everyone was really irritated n pissed off with him. he overheard us planning n wanted to tag along. wrong choice to let him come with us man. n guess wat we found in e rm?!?!??

RATSSSSS!!!!!! lk how disgusting! not that any of us saw e rats. but xianzhen said she heard ruffling of e plastic bags e whole nite. n in e morn. jesslyn n jingyi's food had holes in them. how yuckyyyyyyyy! n i didnt close my bag n left it on e floor too. n it was juz opp jesslyn's! disgustinggggggg!!!

on e way to niagara on day 2 we stopped by Corning Glass Musuem. nothing interesting. coz i wasnt interested. we didnt pay e admission fee but still managed to sneak in for a look. there were demo of how they blow n mould glass.

finally aft lk 8hrs of bus ride we reached!!!!! e bus ride was terrible! firstly, e bus stinkssss!! plus coz of mr mao we have odd no. so i ended up sitting with a stranger coz he refused to budge n sit with that guy. lk come on, no one wanted to sit with him. i had a choice of sitting with mr stranger or him n i chose e former. it was so boring on e bus. n e tour guide had really bad eng. that's wat u get for wat we paid i guess. anw tis is a pic of e sandels n ponchos we were given for wat u will c below.

us in ponchos waiting to tk e elevator down to e cave of e winds. it's actually lk a hike n we get to be splashed by e falls. tis was e smallest fall (niagara is made up of 3 falls) called e veil of e bride. such a beautiful name.

e mist from e falls. there were lotsa seagulls lk wat u c in e background times 1 million. no kidding man. e place totally stinksss!!

with mr wong. getting splashed by e falls was a great experience. no photos though coz it was really wet. but i can tell u it's DAMN SHOIK!

juz look at e rainbow! it totally makes e painful journey there worth it.

we only had lk an hour n a half n we practically ran here n there to take pics. tis is in front of e horseshoe canadian falls. it's e biggest of e 3 n makes up 90% of water e falls supply.

there r still many pics in zhiqing's pro cam. he's using cannon D70. e one i was selling in e IT fair. more updates later. more fr miss xie too!
