i'm back!

we came back yesterday at around 11:30-12am. :) so nice seeing the metric system again. there was a beautiful sunset yesterday night, and there were even fireworks that we saw from the highway. (i wonder what the occasion was. so illegal. haha.)

anyway, new york was awesome! fun times! (even though for most of it i had to walk around the city all by my lonesome.) but no complaints here, because it was a great experience - exploring a huge city alone - and i got to do all the things that i wanted to do and more! AND i didn't get mugged. OR shot. haha. i guess new york city isn't as bad as i thought that it was. you just need to be careful.

things i accomplished (this is more for me than for you. haha):
- walked times square (the real one.)
- went to guggenheim
- went to the met
- saw a cinderella story
- went to century 21 (even if only for 10 mins)
- went to the new york public library on 5th ave
- walked in central park (so beautiful. even saw sea otters!)
- saw maxine and auntie juliana
- rode the subway and only went the wrong way ONCE (there are like at least 25 different subway lines! i'm not even joking. or exaggerating. :P
- walked around like there was no tomorrow

i had so much fun. thanks so much liz for being so nice to me and trying to make me feel at home at your apartment. thanks for all those dinners (even though you wouldn't let me pay. :P) thanks for your subway map and for just being the best. we didn't get to go to the brunch place or the museum of modern art...but...we'll go next time!

i remember a time when i used to not like nyc at all, but now i actually miss it. quite a bit. (there's nowhere to walk around here.) but most of all, i miss my jeh jeh.

p.s. liz, hope that you remembered to give my metro card to someone! there's still 2 days left on it :)
