My Thoughts from New York: Day Six

IT SNOWED!

Hey guys!

It snowed today! At first it was more like a light sprinkle. Then, it became a blizzard. It's still snowing hard now, and soon people are not going to be allowed to drive. Scary.

Day Six

Today was very lazy. I woke up at ten after staying up until midnight watching movies. We ate some leftover cakes and breads and left to go to Grand Central Terminal. We bought train tickets, not for the subway, and got on the Harlem Line. We rode for a while, me in complete awe, and got off at the Botanical Garden stop.

Why? So we could go to the NY Botanical Garden! It may seem a bit weird to go during winter, but they have a really cool show that displays famous NY buildings and landmarks made completely out of plant materials (twigs, leaves, resin, cones, fruits, etc.) and little toy trains circulating all through the display. It was so amazing! I especially loved the airport they made with shells and other plant materials!

We left the gardens after two short hours and rode the train back to Grand Central. We boarded the subway to Flushing for lunch. Well, it was more like dinner because by then it was three or four-ish. We had delicious soup noodles and dumplings as well as other little side dishes. Yum!

After that, we split up. My mom and I headed back home and my sister and father went to Times Square to watch a Broadway show. I think I made the better decision.

P.S. You may notice the absence of actual thoughts. Here's one: New York is very much like a human. It seems like all elegance and high end, but it has its slumps and diversities. There are gardens and museums and banks and tall offices. There are beautiful apartments and people who live on the streets or in the subway system. There are local Americans, and there are foreign tourists who speak other languages besides English. Either way, New York is beautiful and very diverse like humans. People seem like something that is completely different to what they truly are. People have opposites inside them, which makes them more interesting and beautiful.

Also, I am planning on making a video with all the pictures I took here. It will be like a narrative with me explaining my thoughts on New York. Look forward to that after the New Year!
