New York City (2010)
I was in NYC over Christmas and New year. We were so busy exploring what the Big Apple had to offer that the ridiculously cold weather ( it was as low as -9C) didn't really bother us that much. One of the thing I love most about NYC was the fact that as long as you know how to count, you can never get lost in the city. It is so well planned out, the street names are just numbers ( 54th street, 55th street etc).
The other thing I noticed about the city was how busy everyone are. You can see how packed people are, waiting to cross the street and in the subway or rushing to go somewhere. People in general walk and talk faster. However, the best part is that you can always take a stroll down the Central Park to get away from the busy-ness and hectic-ness of the city. I mean, who hasn't heard about the magnificent Central Park right? It's like a getaway, right in the middle of the city itself.
And of course, the famous Times Square. There is just something about the vibrant energy and the exciting atmosphere there that makes you attracted to it. With all the bright lights and animated billboards that lights up during the night, tons of tourists and locals swarming the place, good restaurants, shopping, and tons of other activities, we ended up spending most of our nights here.
Oh, call me jakun but I experienced my first ever 'Snow Day' in NYC, on the first day of 2010. Not a bad way to start the year uh?
Well all in all, I must say NYC is definitely one interesting city. I like how everything is close by and how you can get almost anything ( from a busy city to a relaxing park ) in the city itself. :)
