Its New York Day

So this is it! Friday, December 24th, 2004. The day finally came, my guess woke up at 5am. Its good though since they took 30minutes each to get ready, shower and all. As for me, I woke up at quarter to 7am. At about 7.10am or so we started to walk to the bus stop, which is about 10 blocks away, just about 20 minutes walk, with luggage and the cold and windy weather. Anyway, its a good thing that we left the apartment earlier. Its first come first serve. Eventhough, the bus was scheduled to leave at 8am, it was full by 7.40am and left for New York at quarter to 8! I dont really care cause we were already in the bus so the earlier the better. We arrived in New York just before 12 noon, and checked into the hotel. After a moment of rest, we went to Times Square. You just cant go to NYC without seeing the billboards. After that we went to eat. And shop a bit. This being the christmas eve, shopping in New York is just next to impossible. Everywhere there were long lines of people either queueing to pay or to wrap their presents.

Then we went to the Central Park, the largest Park in the middle of a city in the world. Ofcourse we cant just skip the The Plaza, the hotel, was it Home Alone Lost in New York? We also went to the Rockerfella Plaza, home of the NBC studio and ofcourse the famous toys store and FAO Schwartz, here you can find any toys imaginable. But then, I was looking for Scrabbles but I couldnt find one. Oh well...
