woohoo! i'm here! after a ten-hour-butt-aching bus ride, i'm finally in the famous big apple! but it was okay. slept the whole way thru altho i had to wake up for immigration checks and all that. reached NY around 10am, 25th december. first impression? NY is a concrete jungle! everywhere u look u see buildings...buildings..and MORE buildings. and mind me are they REALLLY sky scrapers. i expected x'mas decors on the streets but there weren't many. thinking of which..i dont think i saw any! even in toronto..there wasn't any "wow-like" decoration. even s'pore had way nicer decorations than these two cities. ironic isn't it? nontheless i'm having a great time! hard to believe that it has already been about 2 weeks away from home. time really flies!! how many of us already know that..yet again it's being said over and over again :)
altho NY doesnt have x'mas decorations, timesquare is really awesome!! i guess because it's the heart of town. the lightings are all so pretty! and big huge television screens screening adverts!! the weather was horrible though. it kept drizzling the whole day. a wet christmas i would call it. so couldn't do much today and shops were all close.was looking forward to at least catch a glimpse of the oh-so-famous statue of liberty but all i saw was BUILDINGS. i felt as if i was like in legoland or something. haha. and because of the crazy weather...didn't do much today.
so there's a lil update on my holiday and merry belated christmas to u guys back there! :) *muackxx*
ps: i went snowboarding instead of skiing and i'll update bout it later with pics! so much to say but i'll keep it to later :)
