They say that..

.. If you stand in Times Square for long enough, you'd have met someone from every country in the world.

Went to New York.

In little India. "Taj Mahal" which advertises as a place for electronics and Jewelry.
Oh and it's both wholesale and retail. Indians will be indians ay?

A synagogue that turned into a buddhist temple with a new wave of
immigration, and finally with another wave it turned into a ... club.

Take a look at the man in black. Like the style?



I had a great time, giggling, pointing, and hop-dodging the crowds as I explored the winding streets and pondered endless maps.

Child-like excitement and anticipation-- nothing quite like it. Or maybe it's just italian wine... whatever, it's a close enough second.

“One belongs to New York instantly, one belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years”- I love that city. I'm going to live there once I've sucked Montreal dry (if that is possible).

What a good time of year to be in New York. I wish I had the time (I only ever do in the winter or the summer.. but I only want to go in the spring or fall)

.. and the Indians? Gotta love that enthusiasm to sell.

Aw, I (l) & miss NYC.

So many memories & funny moments to reminisce.

While my sister hates it loool for different reasons.

1. Nearly got suffocated at the top of Empire State Bldg.
2. Car running out of gas in Lincoln Tunnel
3. Having a flat tire @ NJ turnpike.

& this all happened at different times.

Funny, Ive never been much interested in New York. I suppose I might be, but Im not a fan of big cities. But I do like London - central london, not those horrible suburbs. I love the fact you can get on the underground from Oxford Street, with those super-old buildings (and the awesome Selfridges) and 10 minutes later get off at the ultra-futuristic Canary Wharf. Its amazing.

CAC:
I don't think I can ever live in New York. I love it, but the consant bustle of a city has never been for me.. it'll clash with the bustle in my mind and that's just too much damn noise.

The weather was Un-fuckin-belieeevable. Absolutely beautiful, sun shining, cool breeze, clouds at times. Best time of year to go.

LOL.. little india looks exaactly like "ba67a" (an indian congregation in riyadh) wherever they go, they bring india along.. tenacity at its best (worst?) !


Lilacs:
Take me with you! Italy and spain definately backpacking through those.. the hell if I'll mar their beauty with a stifiling hotels and prissy tourist habits.


Taqwa:
Hell ya! lol.. turn em alll into clubs I say.
I cna't wait to show my sis the pic, she has a ghetto obsession going on and she'll think it's hilarious. and hey! I HAVE those sunglasses!(well..similar)


Nonnah:
We got stuck at the Lincoln Tunnel too.. but hey, why would you driiive to New York!

NJ Turnpike is the one place in the world you do NOT want a flat tire.

Surprisingly I don't think I LOVE New York, but I'm fascinated by it.


Sedna:
From that movie.


Shy:
It's an experience everyone should have.


Illogicist:
I have yet to find a city I completely fell in love with (Maaaybe the georgetown area of D.C?). New York is just fascinating.
I haven't been to london and I'm convinced it'll be the place I do fall for. I love those charming old european building.
