Adventures in the (Big) Apple - Part 3
I have to admit that my blog titles are getting boring. But that’s what happens when you start labelling them in parts… you can’t really change the title. The places I’ve been to are different though. I spent some of Easter on 5th Avenue. It was great because they closed it off just for pedestrians. And it was a lovely sunny day too, which makes me wonder why there was that bird under the walkway shelter that pooped on me. The Chinese believe that it’s good luck, but I figured I should still get rid of it, so I washed out my jacket at the water fountain at the Disney store. Okay gross, but the restrooms were being cleaned. What was I to do? I also visited the Shake Shack which a friend told me had really good burgers. And they did! But I forgot to try a shake, missing the point altogether.
Chinatown in Flushing, Queens was a dream! It looked nothing like the one in Manhattan. It really felt like I was in Taiwan, Hong Kong or China, not that I’ve been to those places, but it didn’t feel like America. My friend took me to a hot pot place (also known as steamboat in Singapore). I went back again because I was in love with the food and place. And the lady working there gave me free drinks, and I noticed only to my party. I think she thought I was hot if I dare say. Why else? Fine, okay, maybe she thought I was really nice to her.
I also went to Trader Joe’s a couple of times. I love the Orange Peach Mango juice there. They just don’t make juice like that for that price in Singapore. I spent some time with my friend who was lobbying for a free Tibet. She would be really happy if you signed this petition. And that wraps the trilogy on New York City adventures. I plan to blog a special about the toy store I visited, so that’s something to look out for. Most importantly, thank you for visiting NYC with me.
