So, if you didn't know, I'm in New York City for the summer. I've been really lax on posting anything here, though I've really wanted to...anyway, since I still kinda should be working, I figured I'd at least write out a list for those who are interested...of all the touristy fun things I've gotten to do here in the past month...besides work.
PS don't tell my supervisor...he said we're not allowed to have any fun. lol (he's just kidding!)
by the way, these things aren't necessarily in order...im just trying to remember everything...
designed pages for a book, went to a jazz concert, was in a picture which was in all 4 major Chinese newspapers, saw an art show, went to an antique shop and bought a 50's style metal fan, took funny pictures, went to an international festival where we learned a community dance, went to a Korean art exhibit, rode the Staten Island Ferry, played in a park, rode a carousel on a panda, drank starbucks coffee, went to a trade show, met new friends, went to a Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir concert, was in their recording with thousands of other people, went to a Korean Chinese church service, tried rice cakes, tried kimchi, tried bibimbap, laughed with my teammates, played the bowl game, played mafia, heard great stories about Indonesia, got to see my C3 family on skype, got to talk to my granny on skype, went to the MOMA (Museum of Modern Art), saw the Jonas Brothers in concert, saw Away We Go, walked around Brooklyn at night, went to Washington Square Park, got a library card, ate lunch with Chris and a Hong Kongese guy who was really cool, met Caroline, visited real Korean and Chinese market places, ate REAL Korean Chinese food, went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, saw Phantom of the Opera on Broadway, got free Pink Berry frozen Yogurt, almost got to play chess in Bryant Park, ate at Big Nick's, had Crumbs cupcakes, sat in Times Square, went to the Central Park Zoo, tried on a $58,000 ring, went into the huge Apple store in the glass box, did tai chi in Queens Botanical Garden, was in photos of Queens Botanical Garden, met Lindsay, watched people boating around the Central Park reservoir, went to Redeemer Presbyterian, went to the Journey church, ate at the Good Stuff Diner, bought shirts at Uniqlo, live in a basement, saw a full-body stenciled graffiti of Darth Vadar, tried lychees, tried green tea ice cream, tried almond cookie ice cream, tried a gyro, tried sushi, met Brandon, swapped music with Whitney, ate watermelon, watched Chinese men play Chinese chess, found a church I'd been looking for, went to said church (Korean Chinese), met Hong and Leo, was complimented on my chopstick skills, finished the Korean Chinese and Korean people groups...finally, ate dinner with Leah, Sarah, and Tiffany, met Tonya, tried Mool Niang Mien, had my first cream puff, saw a Jewish parade, rode the subway, finished two books, sat in the NY Public Library and did some research, had a breakthrough, had Bangladeshi Fruits Custard, helped women learn English, talked with kids, heard Ashley's story, had tea at a British tea room, figured out how to tell a tourist from a New Yorker, went to the biggest Barnes and Noble I've ever seen, talked to Christina, was offered a business opportunity, took a shower(you wouldn't think that was cool, but it is!), learned of Trader Joe's, and...had one piece of free Godiva chocolate.
That's the biggest stuff! looking at all that, my time here seems like it's been tons more fun than it sometimes seems!! I've also done a lot of work though...which is really what I should be doing now...so, I shall leave it at that for now. Hopefully I can write an email update to everyone soon. <3
