New York!

Hey! Sorry I haven't blogged in a week, but it's been crazy. After we went back to San Diego from Mexico, we then took a bus back to LAX. We flew out to New York, and this flight was a lot more comfortable than the first :P It was less than half the time of the first trip, and I had no one in front of me or behind me. When we landed in New York we went to our hotel, The Gershwin, and pretty much just stayed up late coz we were still on California time.

On our first full day in NYC, we went to The Frick Collection, which is a really cool art gallery. I enjoyed it, but because I got new shoes the other day, my feet were pretty sore by the end. So after that, we were walking down 5th Avenue, which has just about the most expensive clothing stores in the world. We went to a store called 'Saks Fifth Avenue', which is a super expensive clothing and accesory store. Despite all the praise it gets, it has some pretty disgusting clothes. The first picture is one I took of the grossest clothes I have ever seen. Haha anyway, we also went to Central Park. It was pretty cool; we walked past the zoo, but didn't go in coz we'd already been to a zoo in L.A. and we also watched some street performers. Some of them were really good, while some others were... not. We also went and saw 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice', which is lots of fun to watch. (:

So on the next day (which was Monday btw), we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was alright, but a lot of what I saw was only Greek statues, so I just listened to the audio guide :P We also went on a cruise that went around the bottom half of Manhattan, and right up close to the Statue of Liberty. Later in the afternoon, we went to Times Square, which is totally amazing. It's so bright because everything has massive flashing lights on it, even Maccas. We went to see Eclipse, and it was pretty good because of all the shirtless guys :P Nah but seriously, I had a lot of fun.

Tuesday was kind of a slow day. So we did laundry, went to the post office. You know, all the boring stuff :P But at the end of the day, we went to the top of the Empire State Building, and I got some really sweet pictures of the city when the sun was setting.


The next day, we went back to Central Park and it was a pretty chill day. We went to the GAP store and I got some jeans and a super cool jacket. They're amazing ;P Then we went back to Times Square, and we saw the movie 'Inception'. It is so super cool and totally amazing. After the movie, it was about 10-ish, so went went to Ripley's Believe It or Not! which is a collection of some really weird stuff. You know, bearded ladies, two-headed cows, fire-proof people and the world's fattest dude at the time. It was pretty cool (: There was also this laser course that we did. It was like a secret agent spy movie where the person's breaking into somewhere and they have to dodge all the invisible lasers. Needless to say, I won :P

Lastly, there was today; Thursday. We took the subway downtown to Battery Park where some of the Sorcerer's Apprentice was filmed. Without giving too much away about the movie, we saw a couple of the places in the park that were at the end of the movie (: We then went to another museum (not my idea) that was about Jewish history. And now I'm sitting in the hotel room drinking orange juice and eating chocolate covered ants. Yes, real ants. So now you're all caught up to what's happening, I'll catcha all later (:
