New York, New York

I figured the city's vibe is probably best captured in Frank Sinatra's - New York, New York. I kind of like the feel of this song, though i can't say the same for the metropolitan city. The city is really vibrant and i am sure we all know about its famous landmarks - Times Square, Central Park, Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, NYSE, World Trade Centre(now ground zero after 9/11), the UN, Broadway, Rockefeller Centre blah blah.. the list just goes on. However this place strikes me as imposing, not quite the kind of place i would want to live in. But well.. New York isn't the financial centre of America for nothing.

Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today
I want to be a part of it - new york, new york
These vagabond shoes, are longing to stray
Right through the very heart of it - new york, new york

I wanna wake up in a city, that doesn’t sleep
And find I’m king of the hill - top of the heap

These little town blues, are melting away
I’ll make a brand new start of it - in old new york
If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere
It’s up to you - new york, new york

New york, new york
I want to wake up in a city, that never sleeps
And find I’m a number one top of the list, king of the hill
A number one

These little town blues, are melting away
I’m gonna make a brand new start of it - in old new york
And if I can make it there, I’m gonna make it anywhere

It up to you - new york new york





chinatown.. when we first arrived...

>>Hershey's.... dear dear's fav








>>that's how much the US is in debt, and counting..




Central Station. Probably the runaway winner for BEST (cleanest and grandest) "MRT" or rather.. subway station =P

I cannot stand the chinatown one. It has this dang stench which is really unbearable.
