Happy Christmas Eve to those who celebrate it! To everyone else, Happy December 24th?
For those in the Christmas mood, I suggest going to Pandora Radio and enter your favorite holiday song and listen to the playlist generated while you read. I entered "Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt and I am loving every minute of it!
Day Four
I've noticed that as the week goes on, we start the day off later and later. Today we got up and left at ten-ish. Breakfast was some pastries that we bought the day before in Flushing and Chinatown. Delicious, like all of the food here.
We first went to the subway and rode to Century 21. That store was huge! There were three floors of clothes and accessories. I have never seen such a large Men's department or purse room! The women's clothes, however, seemed endless. Not only was the store big, it was also ingenius. The baskets had wheels and a retractable handle so you could lug it up and down the escalators and through the racks of clothes. Also, they staple the bag shut so they could tell that it was paid for and not shoplifted. Genius! I bought a red French beret. It even had the little stem on top! I was so happy (and still is!).
Next, after a break in a Starbucks across the street, we walked back to Chinatown. We had dinner and then searched for a perfect hair salon. Eventually, we found the perfect one and got our hair cut. By "our", I meant my sister and I, and by "hair cut" I mean a trim for my sister and cutting off a good three to four inches from my head. Both of us look absolutely adorable! That's just my opinion of course.
Speaking of opinions, I had been thinking lately. Our entire world that we know of today was completely built on opinions. If Columbus hadn't had the opinion to go west instead of east for spices, he wouldn't have found the large landmass known today as America. If scientists did not go with their gut feeling and opinion to form hypothesizes, then we would still be living in caves! I think opinions are everywhere and unavoidable. Some are bad and corruptive, and some are good and should be shared all around the world. Even though it's dangerous to listen to them, I think people should be open to opinions and be willing to form their own as well to share. Otherwise, what progress will be made?
