new york part dos
get it? dos? spanish? ya im so smrt
actually the trip was quite long and i actually dont really remember what i did on day 4 – 8, they say people usually remember the first and last thing of … things you do, so i remember day 9, but ya, for now i’ll refer to my google cal to refresh my memory…
looks like i kinda left of at end of day 2, SO, day 3, i’m pretty sure we didn’t do what we originally planned to do on monday which is go to Top of the Rock, MoMA (museum of modern art) and Grand Central station, i think we actually switched with wednesday’s schedule, so let’s stick with that
monday – day 3, we went to the American History Museum in the morning, walked in from the space museum entrance actually, and watched a space show starring whoopi goldberg first thing, then walked around this massive 5 floor animal/dinosaur museum, this is where they filmed a night in the museum movie with ben stiller, and this museum is pretty awesome, super cool animals models, giant dino bones, we took like 5 hrs to walk through this place, which is a lot longer than originally scheduled, and… i actually have no idea what we did after this wow, i’ll have to come back to this day in the next post
tuesday – day 4, we woke up earlier because we wanted to go take the cruise to go see statue of liberty and ellis island, first boat leaves at 830 so we tried to wake up at 730, of course that didn’t happen and we got there at 930 instead, and there was a huge line up already (just like every other touristy thing in NYC), good thing for our city pass we get to skip most of the line ups and go straight to security line up – they check your like you’re going on the plane, xray, metal detector, belts off, everything, and then you go on a boat! the statue was actually smaller than i expected, got to go inside and look at the history of building the statue, and… that’s pretty much it, what else am i gonna say, it’s a giant green statue, go look at my flickr pics later. Next off to ellis island, this is the immigrants first stop before go into US back in the days, now it’s another museum, showing how people get into the US, most came in, some did not, either they were sick or not fit to work etc, and gets shipped back to where they came from, also ate pretzel with mustard for the first time, because apparently it’s the thing to do, and it wasn’t very tasty, especially the pretzel was like the saltiest pretzel ever made in life. After the tour (btw statue and ellis island tour takes about 4 – 5 hrs depending how long you stay at each spot), we went to look for the famous bull statue in wall street since we were already downtown/financial district (?), we took the subway up for 1 stop to go to wall st, and ended up walking back to where we got on the subway b/c that’s where the bull statue is! sigh, and there’s 349832 people waiting to take pics, so i also took pic of them until i took a pic of racquelle lol. We watched lion king that night, our first broadway show, and it was awesome, i totally recommend everyone to go watch it when it’s here in vancouver in july
at least that’s what i think what we did in day 4… btw i totally recommend the city pass to anyone’s first time visit to NYC, totally save money and line skipping is the freaking best thing, pair it with 1 week subway pass, you’re all set for being a tourist

I would like to thank you for the efforts you have made in publishing this article. I am going for the same best work from you in the future as well. In fact your imaginative writing abilities has inspired me to start my own blog now. Really the blogging is distributing its wings rapidly. Your write up is a fine representative of it.
Man where is your RSS feed,don’t want to loose this blog ,may help me in my online studies,loads of great stuff
I lately came across your blog and have been learning along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have loved reading. Fine blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
nice work indeed. Subscribing to your feeds
You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and some related sub topics and I have found a lot of corresponding views.
And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them:

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
Hi. I treasured to drop you a quick note to express my thanks. I’ve been observing your blog for a month or so and have plucked up a heap of solid information as well as relished the way you’ve structured your site. I am setting about to run my own blog however I think its too general and I would like to focus more on smaller topics.
I am impressed by the way you mastered this topic. It is not often I come across a internet site with attractive content articles like yours. I’ll bookmark your feed to keep up to this point with your future updates.Like it and do keep up the total work.

After ages of using the Internet, now I honestly what do real problems mean. Never have I made such a mistake, and I never was as bewildered as I was last time. This post smashed all my problems.
Such an informative text! Now I understand problems that were too tough for me to resolve. Additionally the lot very easy to read.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
