Random NY photos

Okay i'll put up some photos from NY... immortalise the trip forever on the Internet and for the benefit of those many many voyuers out there

Okay... thats the Statue of Liberty and its pretty impressive. Although I wasn't totally inspired by it... I expected to feel feelings of hope and freedom like those immigrants who first saw it many many years ago but sadly I didn't... to me it was just another piece of impressive architecture. Maybe if I was holed up in the bottom of a ship for many months, had cholera and trying to escape oppression would I have appreciated it a little more. But this is something you should definately see in your life as its part of global history

A visit for me to NY wouldn't be complete if I didnt head down to FAO Schwarz the world famous toy store. Its pretty upmarket and they focus more on stuffed toys than anything else. Nothing really too mainstream; if u were a kid and looking for pokemon cards, u'd prolly wouldnt be able to get it from there. They had the famous piano keyboard on the floor and unfortunately only kids were allowed to jump on it, but u cld buy it for like 6k... psss... quite the waste of money if u ask me.


Okay this is the famous fountain outside Rockafella Centre. If it was winter, the ice-skating rink would be around this fountain, but lucky for me it was still warm although a bit rainy, dunt think i would have been able to take NY winter. The rain was bad enough

Photo of Times Square, not as glamorous as you see on TV, was pretty rainy that day... unfortunately i didnt snap a picture of it at night... but it is pretty impressive at night though. Its a full-on experience and a sensory overload... so much info and adverts, i think Singapore should have something like this... Lido/Orchard doesn't count... its lame

Went to the Natural History Musuem and its by far the best museum I have ever been to... all those dinosaur bones made me feel like a kid again... all fascinated and intrigued. Maybe if my parents had taken me to see these bones when i was a kid, i might have been inspired to be a palentologist like Ross on friends... it would have definately been more interesting. Unfortunately accounting is my choosen profession now. *sigh* I took so many photos of the different skeletons but I'll just put one up... that of the infamous T-Rex. Pretty damn impressive... would be cool if they still existed

Well thats about it for now... i still have photos of the food i ate (typically sporean thing to do) and photos from Washington so i'll do it on another day when i'm bored
