Adios Orlando! Big Apple here I come!
Once we stepped out of the airport, dodgy guys approahed us for rides to the city. Do we look so gullible?! Well, we managed to get a bus shuttle to our hotel for $17. Our boutique hotel is probably two stars but it's pretty convenient as it's close to Central Park and some of the museums. Due to our heavy-duty shopping in Orlando, we had to tote many bags up the tiny elevator that looked quite similar to the one in Tower of Terror.Hmmm....
Our hotel room was cosy, but the toilet cubicle was whoppingly small. You cannot help getting your elbows and ass knocked. And admittedly, for larger bottoms like Pearlene and myself, cubicle life was a lil difficult.
If there is any store that outbeats Mcdonalds in terms of numbers, it has to be Starbucks. I see it everywhere, every corner, every street. New Yorkers are Star Buckers. Yes they are. The typical New Yorker yuppie: Hand gripping a cup of starbucks coffee, the other hand grasping the New York times, mostly equipped with sun shades...Honestly speaking, they are better looking than the people from other states. Better dressed, more health conscious (Many donning sports gear and jogging in the middle of the city), very dog lover. Having a dog seems to be a vogue icon. Well, it's interesting how Pearlene, a fervent dog lover, adores to capture snapshots of dogs while I on the other hand, snaps pictures of toddlers or babies.
Anyhow, we splurged lavishly on food for dinner. A Fuji Platter of sushi for two. Yummy...totally beats the typical American diet hands down! I indulged in a glass of caprinha ( a brazilian cocktail that includes a mixture of ice, cachaca, lime and sugar.) Splendid.
