Brooklyn Botanical Garden
1 commentThis is definitely not one of those more popular and well known tourist attractions but it should definitely be on the map! It costs a bit of money to get in but it’s free on Tuesdays and since today is the last Tuesday that I’ll be in New York I decided that I had to go! In rain or shine..and it rained….
it was actually really really beautiful in the rain. I saw a lot of couples walking around and it really set the mood in the rose garden! Ahh, nice nice 
here's a video that I took....
you can really hear the rain come down and yeah it came down pretty hard…
the rain really got to me a few times especially when i tried to take photos, i really need to get my lens cleaned properly soon.
they aren’t really in any sort of order…so enjoy them as they are? i think i took a lot more photos but i think it would be quite an over kill to upload them all. and yes i did photoshop them..so we’re literally looking through the world with rose-colored glasses huh?
short story time!
+i wrote a short story called I WORK
and you can download it here! please tell me what you think
court square station!
2 commentsi take the no. 7 train to Manhattan everyday and sometimes i get off at a station called Court Square. But every time I stay on the train to the next point, i always see the amazing graffiti everywhere~~ also at court square station, it’s where the PS MOMA 1 is. I think it’s free of charge or by donation or something~
so today I did nothing but veg out all morning and in the afternoon I decided that I had to go out so I went and took pics!
but to give a sense of the place, here’s an awesome video! (awesomeness is not guaranteed)
more photos! 30rock + NYPL
3 commentsi took a lot more photos but I haven’t been feeling like putting them online! If you have me on facebook then you already saw how shitty they are. anyways, today I finally got banking sorted out so horray! So see the previous post about a potential proxy service, if you’re interested that is.
today’s photo dump includes a bunch of photos of 30ROCK (all hail tina fey) and my favorite place, the new york public library!
my dad’s sort of from new york (mostly no though), specifically Elmhurst area in queens. So on a day that I was feeling tired I decided to go visit where he used to live. It’s mostly inhabited by spanish and mexican folks. I only visited him once while he was here so I couldn’t even find the apt building that he used to live in. It’s a few subway stops from where I am staying now and I decided to have lunch there.
Some sort of champagne soda thing.
chicken fajitas?
the only I NY thing that I saw. When I am being a tourist, I really try to hide the fact that I am a tourist. For lots of reasons, mostly because I am scared of being judged. But there are people that walk around in I NY shirts. I felt sort of surprised that anyone would wear it while in new york....
also i’ve been drinking a lot of this lately, which is just ice tea from dunkin’ donuts, it’s 99 cents for any size. okay it’s a great way to start the day 
haha
also i love the way ice tea LOOKS, it looks amazing don’t you think? the way the ice chips float, i just freaking love it.
I really love the subway! there are so many beautiful pieces of art in all sorts of styles across the city. I also like taking the subway, it’s loud and quiet at the same time…
on Monday I tried to go to MoMA but totally failed because the line was humongous. I didn’t know that the Moma actually required a ticket rather than just via donations. WELL, it’s like $25. So just as well, i’ll go on friday afternoon (4-8) when it’s free and sponsored by Target, merci Target.
Rockerfeller Plaza……. because of 30ROCK ok.
the lego store! which by the way, i think vancouver is getting one too….
and the beautiful New York Public Library. This is the one on 42nd and 5th. And I am pretty sure that this is the library that they used in the Sex and the City movie, hey hey! HEY i was a fan until the 2nd movie came out. But too bad this library isn’t actually where you go to borrow books, mostly for tourists and people like me to rest and use their wi-fi.
