Exactly one year ago, I had just come home after a trip with my friend Cynthia to New York City. Seeing as I arrived at six in the morning, I got the worst jetlag ever and it took a few days to recover.
Anyway, seeing as I’m ‘only’ a year late, I thought it was about time to post the photos. Cynthia and I did all the typical touristy things, which was lots of fun!
On our arrival day, we checked in to our hostel in Brooklyn and then took the metro to Times Square. On the second day we basically explored all of Lower Manhattan. We started off with a trip to the Statue of Liberty Island, then went to Wall Street, the World Trade Center site, China Town and Little Italy.
Our trip included The Metropolitan Museum of Art which was definitely on my NYC to-do list. Although the Greek, Aboriginal and modern stuff didn’t really interest me, they had some great works by the European masters. We also visited the American Museum of Natural History, which wasn’t really my thing, lol.
Also on our to-do list was to walk the Brooklyn Bridge. After we failed to do it on one of the nights because we accidentally fell asleep, lol, we finally walked across it to see all the pretty shiny lights.
We of course went to take a walk in Central Park as well, which totally killed our feet. We were even such tired bums that we decided to take a bicycle taxi to Strawberry Fields, the memorial for John Lennon who was killed nearby. We also undertook a trip to Coney Island because Cynthia liked doing so, and for some reason we decided to do it at night, lol. It was lots of fun though!
During this holiday, I also developed the Japanese habit of taking photos of my food. Here we go!
