I heart NY

Spring break is here! So to the people back in the reg, my appologies, but here are some pics from day 1:


Is a shot of Times Square in the day. Man is it crowded.... And all the business people eat lunch at the same time as we chose to, the selfish bastards.


The seagulls get blown around by the wind so much they're like gigantic hummingbirds. Nice sunset too, and a water body is always good!


Now bumming in calvin's place thanks to his generosity, him and raymond have been really nice and bringing us around, we'd so get lost otherwise, I felt like how the Madison ppl must've felt when they came to chicago and saw the transportation system. Man is this place complex! And it's huge too. I think we could spend 2 weeks here just exploring manhattan itself.

sights seen so far:
times square
wall street (with the NYSE and its little police squad attached to it and the cordoned off road in front of it, and the bull, too)
the esplanade off the east (?) river.
CHINATOWN!

But man, is NY full of hustle and bustle. The plane was full of businessmen just raring to zip off it, and were super kancheong standing up and getting their bags even before the doors were open..... sort of reminiscent of a flight full of singaporeans, only it's worse since the aisle is so narrow. hmm. Broadway is just......awesome. The thought that a theatre could be playing the same show for years and years and still sell out is simply incredible. And i mean, above all, it's NEW YORK! And there's much more to see. More tomorrow, it's about the point in time where i start to regret taking a flight you had to wake up at 5am for.....

To all the reggers still slogging away for finals......ganbatte!!
