So our tour started proper today.. We were late in the morning and got scolded by some tour guy who called us to hurry up. Hmph. Our bus sent us to Sheraton Newark [yes, where we were supposed to stay] to meet up with another 2 huge buses, and then they reorganized the people. I've never seen so many chinese before, I totally forgot I was in US. 3 HUGE buses of chinese leh!
we first went to chinatown for breakfast. they even have a continental airlines advert in chinese!
dimsum for breakfast! on the right is our tour guide anisa at wall street, i really respect her for her experience and confidence. She's also quite funny. She's carrying the umbrella so that we could follow her. Felt like she was the mother hen and all of us, really ignorant chicks. Haha, felt safe and protected with her around.
new york stock exchange
federal hall national memorial
went on a liberty cruise. it started snowing lightly before the cruise, getting my parents really excited. =) it was really cold though.
a pity we couldnt get onto the island to fully experience her majesty. next up was the Rockefeller Center [cos empire state had too long a queue, and is overrated anyway]
lame light show in the elevator as you go up
at the top of the rock
before getting ticked off for sitting here
the lobby, and their first starbucks drinks.. a cappucino and my fav caramel macchiato. we had had a 'manchu wok' [read: american chinese food] lunch at the food court of the rock.
next we stopped by the United Nations Headquarters for some shots.. I don't know which was the headquarters so we just took everything we could
ooh! firemen! =) and dad+mum at the metropolitan museum
ooh! firemen! =) and dad+mum at the metropolitan museum
fresh flowers!
painful shoes from the egyptian exhibition
this is the only art piece that caught my eye. too bad i can't remember who this was/the name of the painting. anyway he was trying to invoke the devil with those ingredients..
and this may be out of point, but we had lots of crab for our china buffet dinner.
