Thurs - to an perfect day!

(First - I have to apologize again for the delay, the wireless internet was down last night and I couldn't get the access to connect to my little laptop but here we are, catching up again)

Today was the best day I have ever imagined, after I got out of the shower, I noticed something weird, out of the window, it seemed fogged, so I went to investigate and it turns out it was SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!!!

Yes, thats right you heard me, it was snowing in NEW YORK CITY! New York City! It is so much flurries all over, snow on the car tops, but it melts when it lands to the ground but it was beautiful to see, and then I got a text from my friend, who is at his hotel on the other side of Manhattan, he saw it was snowing too. It was an amazing start of the day! So we both went to a nearby diner for breakfast, where I had ham and cheese omelette (sp) with hash brown and crossiant, it was very good but not good for the value of it. So once again, we moved on to catch the subway to the very famous hotel of New York - The PLAZA HOTEL - which movie was the hotel filmed in?

Take a guess for a second or two...


.....


...No?...


...Yes?

...Give up?

Damn, I'll tell you the movie was HOME ALONE 2, the movie was filmed all in New York City - it is so huge and very fancy, I went inside and I was amazed to see how fancy it was, and I see handful of rich people, the hotel owns expensive cars to transit their guests.. wow. Oh, I gotta mention, when I was on the way there, I was out of the subway RIGHT next to the southeast side of CENTRAL PARK, and all I saw and my jaw dropped. What did I see? SNOW all over Central park! it was so white and very beautiful,I cant describe it, so photos will be shown in the next blog very soon.

After leaving from the plaza, I took some photos, of course then we went just across the road to the apple direct store, and everything that apple sells products are all over the basement and I bought a cover case for my iPhone that actually charges my phone itself when in an emergency when the battery is at the brink of death. It was a reasonable price, my friend bought it too, and used it, and it is very good product! Also Purchased a universal stand for the iphone, which is for my office desk which is good as well.

Then we both went for a brief walk in the Central Park, the path is kinda wet and icy, but the views around the city is awesome, photos has been taken obviously, my friend takes the good ones, he has a good canon professional camera while my nikon compact one takes a normal one, I should take the Nikon one but it is broken and needs attention repairs. :/

Anyway, we went back to the subway due to the weather change, we went back to the hotel room, the weather change was beautiful blue skies and sunny, so we decided to use the day to visit the Empire State Building, which was well worth the visit, the view on the 86th street was AMAZING, view all around, I see lower Manhattan, where the World Trade Center once stood, and Brooklyn Bridge (will visit there tomorrow - depends on the weather) i saw everything from people to thousands of yellow taxi cars

It was good, so we went back down, on the way down, we stopped at the store and purchased few items, good items, obviously. Then we headed to the Railway train museum in Brookyln - it was 30 minutes to closing time, and we were let in free of charge, and it was cool, to see all these old trains to current - changes over time since the subway was built, the museum was built in one of these old subway which was closed down - the subway system was built in the early 1900's and these other things how the railway works with the people of New York. It was awesome

Then we went back to Times Sqaure where I texted my mother in Australia to find me on the earthcam website, which she and my family found me there with my friend, Craig - also my friend Andy who was at the office of the time, took some screenshots of it. It was good, and then went back to my hotel - we have been all over NYC in one day, and the feet are so sore, i must mention on the top of my hotel roof, 14th floor, and there is amazing view you can enjoy, which we did at night - amazing end of the day.

Pictures coming up in the next blog.
