okie so our work in haagen dazs is finally over. you can read about it in joe's blog. we've learned alot and the people loved our work ethic. i'm pretty sure susan wished we could've stayed longer. still it was a good experience and the money was good, but its time to move on.
visited the tanger outlet in riverhead a coupla days ago. bought alot of stuff. spent like $110 in total. wow. i love cheap stuff.
anyway yesterday was a big highlight. we were down in the big apple again. bought my train tix to pittsburgh and to chicago.
took the subway to new york city from queens. we wasted $8 on toll driving in and out of manhatten in just 15minutes. knn. all thanks to yours trully making a wrong turn. but then again it was all for the better. traffic in downtown uptown crosstown manhatten is c-r-a-z-y. its killer. i mean i've seen shit traffic but here it takes the cake. the taxi drivers are the worst i've seen and most unsympathetic(as i video captured an incident of taxi-bullying) and the way people drive its just surprising there weren't more accidents. still my 15mins in there has already upped my international driving experience points by 2000. i'm a grandmaster driver now.
and then we visited times square. its really awesome. really should be the advertising capital of the world. the billboards are so aplenty that you can rightly spend half a day just keeping your neck at a 45degree angle reading the crap on those advertisements. and extremely bright and motion enhanced so it really feels like being in a huge loolapalooza concert with little entertainment spots littering the entire block.
also went to the empire state building. by saying 'went to' it just meant hovering around the entrance and the ground floor taking silly pictures. it costs us$12 to go up and the queue was 30min long. so fuck that.
bought my train tickets in madison square garden. it feels weird being in the mecca of entertainment venues. like its supposed to be damn ooh-seh but there was nothing really spectacular about the place leh. at least the amtrak station is perhaps one of hte best i've seen all throughout my travels though. hmm. as with most of new york, maybe everything's overrated on tv.
bought alot of 'i love new york' goodies and souvenoirs. really like tourist.
