Friends from all over the world! It was such a joy to meet up and catch up and explore a new city together (:
Day 1
Surviving 20hr flight to JFK airport
Checked in to our luxurious apartment at Battery Park. We rented an Italian family's home (:
Look of the day!
Explored uptown Manhattan by foot- beautiful architecture but dirty streets.
We must have went to 7 different Starbucks outlets! Special Christmas drinks like Creme Brulee and Gingerbread Lattes. I vote that it should be made available in Singapore!
The coffee connoisseurs.
Headed to Little Italy for a hearty Michelin lunch!
After Lunch, went to Times Square to see what the fuss was about.
DIZZYING LIGHTS! Big billboards and dizzying lights. Fun...but headache!
Went home, whipped up a healthy dinner from the groceries we bought at WholeFoods.
Life lesson learnt:
US$1.99 cotton gloves from convenience stores can be 3 times warmer than the S$$$$ leather gloves from fashion stores!
If you have to resort to doing this, ie, warming your gloves using coffee, you know you are pretty pathetic. Comfort over fashion ANY DAY!
