I just got back in from New York City and am crashing at my friend’s house in Oakville, Ontario before making my way tomorrow morning to Kingston to stay with my grandparents. I felt I should make a quick post here to break up the continuous scheduled posts I wrote a week or so ago. After a quick shower and some food, I feel a lot better from my 15 hours of travel today.
I absolutely loved New York and have alright mentally ticked it off as somewhere I have to return to. Our hostel was sketchy at best (cockroaches in bathrooms at night with French women screaming – yes), but it did not deter me at all from the city. In fact the cockroach factor ADDED to the experience if anything. It felt so authentically NYC, so real, or something.

I did a lot of tourist stuff, Empire State Building, Guggenheim and the likes, but sitting in Central Park with a cool breeze watching the fire flies glowing under the drooping trees; that was my New York.

5:00 am wake up call tomorrow to catch my via rail to my hometown. There will certainly be a more descriptive post regarding my journey to the U.S. once I get back home and recover from my month away. I just couldn’t resist the opportunity to post while I had computer access.
