My Thoughts on New York: Day Ten and Eleven and Twelve

Good afternoon! :)

I have been bad. Two days without a blog about NY? Shameful. I have already punished myself by eating sugary sweets and potentially damaging my teeth.

Continuing onto the blog!

Day Ten

This was the day of serious walking.

We first rode the subway to Wall Street and wondered around the Financial District. I must say, it was pretty cool. Partly because there were a lot of fancy businessmen in fancy suits and partly because there was a lot of tourists.

After that, we walked to the Brooklyn Bridge and walked on it. It's longer than you think, I'll just leave it at that.

Then, we rode the subway again and walked over twenty blocks to look at window displays. Not all six stores, only three. It was almost torturous.

After that, as if it wasn't tiring enough, we went to Flushing to eat/drink congee. Congee is like a rice soup that was slightly thickened by the rice starch. It was tasty and somewhat worth the trip.

Then, we went home on the subway.

Day Eleven

This morning we woke up ridiculously early, skipped breakfast, and rode the subway to Bryant Park. Why this insanity? We really wanted to ice skate. And we did. And it was awesome!

Then we hurried to Flushing and had a giant brunch of Dim Sum. Delicious~!

After that, we rode back to the apartment and chilled for a couple of minutes until five where we left and walked to the rest of the window displays. What was horrible was that we walked way over twenty blocks and only saw one store's window displays. The wonderful thing was that it was food themed and had Food Network people and other famous people's faces! However, there was no Alton Brown. How disappointing.

We took a taxi back to the apartment and ate cake and stayed up until the ball dropped on TV. Then we slept.

Day Twelve

We woke up, unfortunately, at six in the morning. We got dressed and finished packing and left. We rode a car to the airport and went through security. Where, I met a person named Aileen, the same as mine! Even pronounced the same! Life goal complete.

We rode the plane and my mom drove us home. I just had some dumplings for lunch and now I'm blogging. Travelling over. Mission complete.

P.S. Expect a vlog soon. At least, hopefully soon.
