High in the Sky, Low in the Subs

Been a mad few days in New York, and before you know it, I'm just a few hours away from a mad ass bus ride to the Niagara Falls.

Basically did the whole New York touristy sight-seeing thing. There was the Empire State, the Rockafellar, Metropolitan Art Museum, Harlem, Times Square, watched a Broadway etc etc. and going to a lounge to catch a glimpse of the New York jazz scene. Mad house inside the freaking subway. U thought Singapore was bad during the peak hours, New York is worse.

Guess even though it seems I've run up and down New York visiting churches, tourist attractions, there seems to be something lacking at the New York stop. I guess I'm putting it down to a lack of time, and a lack of a settling feeling that I gotta rush through the sights b4 I run off in 4 days to some place else. Maybe the next time I head back down to NY, if ever, I would take the time to go to one of the suburbs like Harlem, have a coffee and not rush around like a mad man. Every night would be soul food and drinks. Perhaps that would make it more fulfilling, and also make it less of a burden to me that I've gotta just complete an itineary.

This screams that I'll probably be much happier once I settle down in LA and actually start going to school. Kinda looking forward to it actually.

It still is fun though, when you get to see the original stuff that you see on television, and you hear the historical background of what made New York the Big Apple. Only now do i know what Take the 'A' Train really meant.
