well.. i'm back!!! new york was fun!!! but was damn tiring and looooong ass, back-aching bus rides. the bus tour is extremely rushed. gave us only 2 hrs to eat and shop at jersey gardens! are u friggen nuts?! the largest mall in new jersey. definitely would need the whole day. but ahh well, we inhaled our dinner and went straight to the designer stores. afterwards, it was off to our rooms at the marriott to party with oliver and wendy. puahaha... nearly bust a gut laughin' all night =P

the next day, the tour guide woke us up at 5:30 am! and then took us to wall street at about 6. from then, we separated from the tour and roamed around manhattan ourselves. we were 3 very tired chinese people walking the streets of NY with nothing to do. chilled and talked at this nice, relaxing 2 level cafe waiting for the stores to open at 11! ack. one thing i noticed, the streets are diiirrrrrttty, and smelly and the buildings look so old and spray painted with grafitti. n.y.p.d. boys on every corner. when the stores finally opened, we went and did some mad shopping! we must have spent a good hour or more at united colors of benetton. my goodness.. i came out of bennetton with a sweatshirt, a sweater, a shirt, and a nice skirt for less than $100 canadian! ain't no way in hell you can do that here! ;) i was seriously likin' the no-tax deal down there. oh mangs, if i had thousand bucks to spend in NY =P~.... no more skipping to the sales racks at DKNY, A|X, Banana Rep., H&M... ^^ but dayamn.. cost of food there is up the roof. by the end of the day we were so exhausted and our legs were killing us. walked probably more than 40 blocks from wall street to times square. times square looked amazing at night. gigantore lit signs, t.v. screens, and giant cup noodles and coke bottles everywhere and the streets crowded with people. too bad the trip had to end so soon. =/ can't wait till we get the pictures developed! get them scanned and posted up as soon as possible!

frig, i can't believe i gained 5 lbs in 4 days... i've turned into an eating machine. b'anyway, i'm off, gonna go hit some balls at one of those double decker driving ranges!
