Today was my day off and it started with me sleeping in until 10 am. That is late for me! I decided I wanted to do some more exploring and get to know the subways a little better so I took off for Chinatown and Times Square. I already at Times Square and it was so cool. I attached pictures of it as well for you to see. I had already been here before but it was still really cool to get out and walk around and see what has been updated. I love looking at all of the big screen TVs and the flashing lights for signs! After Times Square I went to Chinatown and Little Italy. I absolutely love it there. I really enjoy visiting these two places because it makes you feel like you are part of the culture once you step onto the streets in Chinatown and Little Italy. The city feeling completely goes away when you are walking through Chinatown, you feel like you are in China will all of the signs in Chinese, the fish markets outside and the fruit stands. Of course, I found some items that I wanted to buy in Chinatown! I just love the scarves and jewelry that Chinatown offers individuals to buy. My favorite is the $1 table along the streets of Chinatown. There they have jewelry, hair accessories, and belts for $1 each! Every time I visit Chinatown I end up spending money at this little table. There is only one table selling these items along the street, but I seem to wind up there every time. I bought some really cute hair pieces at the table. I also bargained with a woman and got some really pretty scarves. I also love the scarves they sell along the streets. I have a list written down of every color I have and that I have purchased already. I think I have every color of the rainbow, but I just can not pass them by!!! After Chinatown, I made my way into Little Italy, where I love to walk the main street and people watch. The bakeries are really fun to go into and just look at the beautiful cakes! I also tried my very first bubble tea in Chinatown. It is like a normal cold tea drink but it has little beads of stuff at the bottom (see picture). I don't think I will have it again! The beads are made of some sort of starch or jelly. I felt kind sick after!
After my sightseeing this morning, I headed back to Columbia and had a chance to sit outside and read a book. I just finished "Two Kisses for Maddie." Such a wonderful book, but I was crying through most of it!! The Bachelorette is on tonight and this will be the night whether I determine if I am boycotting it or not! I am just not liking this season at all and I feel terrible for Ashley. Oh well!
I had a great relaxing day off and I am excited to get back to Kleinfeld's tomorrow!!
I hope all is well
Happy Endings from NYC
