NEW YORK, NEW YORK

I LOVE NEW YORK??

I have been to Manhattan many times.
The first time I visited NY was when I was 19 years old.
I went to summer school at University of Rochester and my American mother (sister) took me to Manhattan.
I remember that I got surprised how busy the town was, and had no idea what was going on, since we went to so many places at the same time.
Second time in Manhattan was two weeks long stay.
I hated New York at that time, and I realized how sad I felt when I am away from all my stuff but staying at hotel for two weeks.
I was a student still at that time, and I joined seminar for two weeks with about 20 kids from all over the world.
I had to be in class at 8 in the morning till 5 in the evening, and every night we went to a fancy club or went out for drinking or got drunk at hotel room.
I remember I felt this kind of lifestyle is not like me, so I skipped one day and slept till noon and went to outlet mall in NJ by myself and spent time by myself till it closed.
I still LOVE the outlet mall.


I saw different parts of NY when I went there with my boyfriend.
He loves walking around the city and going to museums.
Neither I liked, but I tried anyway, and realized walking around the city and going to see a couple museums were not that bad.
Since we walked too much, and got tired and fell a sleep in a central park.
When we got up, it was cold and dark.
We saw MC Hammer whom I would never recognize.
This is a picture of fries we missed eating when we were there, but I happened to find this place this time.
There are so many sauces for fries.
It tastes really good and was fun!

I have to say that this was the first time I felt comfortable being in Manhattan.
After many time visits to Manhattan, I had never loved Manhattan, and it was not a place I wanted to stay.
However, I first thought, “Maybe I wanna work in Manhattan”.
I felt good when someone asked me the direction of NYC.
Perhaps, as I watched Sex and the City too much, now I feel NY is such a cool place for career women to live in.

Got really long one!!
In conclusion, there are so many memories in Manhattan now for me, and I am looking forward to making more memories there by visiting there often.
Bad conclusion… Anyway, I think I LOVE NEW YORK.
