yes. Today I arrived. And vicki went mad *lol* miss you toooooooo!!! ^^/

New york is GORGEOUS!!! I love the vibrancy of the city. It has this indescribable life of his own, totally addictive. The drive from the airport was very interesting, albeit VERY VERY dangerous. I'm surprised i even got through that alive O_o *haha* The driver was squeezing through very very narrow gaps, not really keeping to lanes, and changing lanes in split seconds O_o Man if i was behind him, i would be FREAKED out. As it is, sitting in the shuttle itself is TERRIFYING! I was gripping on to my chair the whole time, especially when the driver decided to accelerate on this narrow, windy and upward sloping road O_O Let's just say i'm not partiicularly keen to try it again O_o

But madcap drive aside, I saw many things:
a) new york's version of grave yards - unlike the peaceful, spaced out tombstones in ann arbor, with statues and engravings, these were somewhat...compressed. They were like narrow pillars, some with figureheads, while others were just stone pillars. And they were packed together so that the whole thing looked like an uneven concrete jungle, literally. Gives a whole new meaning to space conservation ^^;

b) broadway. GORGEOUS!!!!! I was looking around with wide-eyed wonder at the lights! Gorgeous. I somehow thought of that old song, Downtown. Beautiful. And rockefella centre!!! the christmas tree and the angels. Pretty ^^

c) KINOKUNIYA ^^V Hahahahahahaha. Walked in with vic and went Berserk ^^ Japanese books!!! Manga!!! Magazines!!! and OMIGAWD, japanese stationery!!!!!! Hahaha. One thing i really miss is pretty stationery. Or at least decent, aesthetically pleasing stationery. Americans really do not understand the importance of good mechanical pencils and colour pens *lol*

d) the REAL bebimbop is NOTHING like that shite in silly University Cafe. First it's delicious. Also the egg is NOT fried. It's raw and then you kinda cook it as you mix it. And the entire thing is in a hot bowl thingy. NICE. But now that means going back to university cafe and staring at the stuff they serve up in disdain. *lol*

haha. Also met up with the RJ councillors like Kenneth and Chris and Andre. Kenneth is seriously on crack *LOLOL*

MUSEUMS TOMORROW!!! *wheeeeeee* and shit i'm hungry. Over and out ^^V
