You know you're in Chinatown when....

Backdating the post since i was lazyyyyyy ^^

Anyway, Christmas day. And where else to go but Chinatown, since only the Chinese work on christmas? *lol* Woke up real late to go hunt down Joe's Shanghai, supposedly the best shanghainese food in NYC. DAMN SHIOK. We called like 3 baskets of xiaolongbao, 1 soup, 1 noodles and 2 pastry things, and the whole thing cost 7 bucks per person including tips and tax O-o SHIOK hahaa.

But after that it started raining and raining *sigh* like singapore-style downpours O-o Which was miserable, and also where i discovered that my columbia jacket is not waterproof. T___T

Chinatown was HUUUUGE. Very very big. And so chinese!!! We were so happy that we started playing 'You know you're in chinatown when...' *LOL* Things we came up with included:

-you see a macdonalds sign and then you see a small declaration below that says 'three floors of seating' (to be read with the hongkong accent for full effect XD)
-you see andy lau posters
-you see many many stores selling the same fake scarves, pirated vcds and watches etc over and over again *lol*

etc. someone please filll this in *lol*

After more shopping we bumped into j&j and the mich pple O-o talk about small world lah. And then we eventually made our way to Columbia University to visit andre and have some dinner at the swish cafe ^^

Then it was a viisit to andre's room *lol* but it was raining so heavily...sigh. hahaha. the rooms in columbia are huge!!! or at least andre's was *lol* though i must say throughout the dorms, it's quite obvious that they have a very *koff* healthy *koff* alcohol culture *LOL* But the uni is very pretty ^^ if not for the rain and the darkness, ithink it'll be much pretty *lol*

watched BBC America over a bottle of beer shared amongst the 5 of us. There was a Creature Comforts christmas special showing, and it was susper cute!!! they were singing the 12 days of christmas and discussing between themselves the origin of the lyrics. *lol* Imagine depressed plasticine foxes, upsidedown partying bats and an operatic blackbird *LOL* En's fav was the singing clams *lol* Though i liked the slugs *lol* VEYR CUTE ^^ all done by the wallace and gromit animator so you can imagine what it looks like ^^

Later went to kenneth's house for some supper before heading back at 4am o-o Yes we did sing carols, and also ont he way back there was SO MUCH FOG O-o couldn't believe it hahaha. Ah well.
