Hello big apple!!!

Hello big apple!!!

I'm finally getting my dosage of big, beautiful city energy! And I was greeted by snow falling fast in little little flakes and it does look very pretty from my first NYC yellow taxi ride (even if the driver took some time searching for my sister's address on his GPS and it cost a bomb)!

My sister's place is cozy (in reality it means rather small), and I can honestly say that I miss my Liberty Park room. Oh well, its a small price to pay for getting to spend 2 weeks here. =)

I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do tomorrow, except check out the laundry and metro cuz my sister is making me do her housework =.= and I need to figure out how to get around town. I'm tempted to just pop into a Starbucks with my lappie and international law notes but as I recall, I do not have a T-mobile internet account which means no wifi for me. Sigh. I'm thinking New York Public Library or Central Park or maybe some little cafe by the sidewalk..

I foresee no work getting done, especially once I meet up with Robyn and we go gadding about the city. And I ashamedly will admit that all I did on the flight was read 20 pages on TWAIL essays, watched Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Wall-E, catnapped and chit-chatted with the guy next to me who is in the cocoa industry and travels all over the world. So much for my work on the plane resolution which I tried to uphold by not bringing a single story book. Not even my 'The Undercover Economist' which I have yet to finish. That my friends, is the measure of how serious I am. Okay I seriously need to crash cuz now is 7am UK time and my internal clock is a little jumbled up. Plus, I need to be up by 8.30am tmr. Beauty sleep calls!
