NYC Trip Recap

We had so much fun in NYC over the weekend. It's hard to describe everything in written words.

But here's a recap of places and activities:

1. Watched Spamalot, a musical on Broadway. (I'm glad I watched the Monty Python and the Holy Grail DVD the week before. Or else, I don't think I can understand most of the show.)

2. Visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art to feel more cultured and sophisticated

3. Walked around the Central Park

4. A walking tour to Time Square, Grand Central, Union Square, Little Italy, Canal Street and Chinatown. (I've never walked for so many hours in the last 2 years)

5. Had a delicious, Hong Kong style dinner at Big Wong King in Chinatown.

6. We stayed in R's brother's place in West Village. (Now, I started to appreciate more of my spacious apartment in a mid-west suburb)

7. Took the subway and buses. (Though using public transportation has always been part of my life, I still prefer driving.)

8. Saw the gay pride parade- and someone gave me a "Hot Asian" sticker. I'm flattered!

9. Had a relaxing lunch in a cozy, non-expensive but fancy French restaurant on Monday in West Village.

And here are the people we met:

1. R's brother- Thank you so much for letting us stay in your place!

2. Loli- Thank you so much for being our 'tour guide' on Saturday. Without you, I would be lost in the city. And I'll always remember that "snowing in the mid-June" incident. :)

3. Peggy- I couldn't believe I'll see you again. When did I see you last time? 1999, 2000? Wow, that was so last century!

4. JS- At last, I kept my words to come to NYC to see you. What a great mini-reunion. Though we only got a chance to meet up for dinner, I still feel our friendship is timeless.

5. Lori- Again, awesome people write awesome blogs is true (and vice versa). Thanks for meeting with us though you had a very busy schedule.

6. Sarah- Your Hollywood movie stars stories were fascinating and hilarious. It was such a pleasure to meet you.
