Can you relate?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Being amazing on how there were not just one but multiple restaurants to choose from for all the different cuisines of the world.
\n\u2022 Checking out the China Town area and couldn’t believe how it really seems like we were in China (after having working at an international school in Shanghai for some time).
\n\u2022 Loving the new area to chill out next the Staten Island Ferry terminal, great views and not too crowded.
\n\u2022 Going to look at the new 9-11 memorial, long line to wait in…but the two water fountains were pretty spectacular.
\n\u2022 Buying too many things at all the unique cafes and stores, couldn’t resist wanting to try things not available in my host country.
\n\u2022 Traveling to this awesome city to see three of my friends from two of the countries that I have lived in, who now live in New York.
\n\u2022 Using the New York Subway system to get around and trying to act like I knew my way around it like a local (a bit of a fail).
\n\u2022 Thinking I saw Michael Cera near China Town, took a picture of him, and then hearing what my friends thought on Facebook…if it was really him (some thought so, some no).
\n\u2022 Trying to keep my head down while walk around in the city…couldn’t stop looking up at all the cool skyscrapers.
\n\u2022 Taking a stroll through 1\/3 of Central Park and watching all the exercisers, relaxers, etc…the nature in that park is really wonderful.
\n\u2022 Looking at the Statue of Liberty from the Staten Island Ferry…the second time that I’ve done that!
\n\u2022 Purchasing a Groupon for a grocery store there and getting $40 for only $20…stocked up on some supplies for when I go back home.
\n\u2022 Getting to see the Manhattan skyline both in the morning, afternoon, sunset and night…thanks to my friend for letting me stay at his awesome Brooklyn apartment.
\n\u2022 Enjoying my fair share of bagels…toasted with a bit of honey…for my breakfast.
\n\u2022 Going to see a concert at a old jazz\/blues club just right off of Times Square…what a location!
\n\u2022 Thanking my friend for letting me use their Museum of Modern Art membership pass. Probably wouldn’t have gone if I would have had to pay.
\n\u2022 Taking pictures of all the New Yorkers doing their thing as they walk down all the streets…there are some very interesting people walking around New York!
\n\u2022 Walking to Bryant Park at night at having a cool drink with a friend for some catching up.
\n\u2022 Going into Grand Central Station and thinking about all the movies that have been filmed there.<\/p>\n
