This is the residential area behind our hotel. looks pretty by the day but eerie and quiet by night!
Subway station revisited- the number 96 means we're at Subway 96 st.
Had our brunch at a chinese restaurant near Chinatown. Took Metro to Brooklyn Bridge-City Hall. NYC has a few state-of-e-art bridges to other parts of NY. We didn't walk thru the entire bridge to Brooklyn cz the 2nd half was just a mirror image of the first. Statue of liberty? Yes we can see, thanks to my Canon 16X digital zoom.
Brooklyn Bridge
Look at the trusses and beams! perhaps only engrs can appreciate...
Statue of Liberty
Since we were quite near to Wall Street, might as well just stroll along the streets and try our luck if we can find Ground Zero.
Wall Street- heavily guarded with barricades and security guards.
Ground Zero - although it looks like just like any construction site, plenty of visitors.
opposite to Grounf Zero there's a cosmetic mall- SEPHORA
http://www.sephora.com/. I feel this is the best cosmetic shop ever. the staffs are approachable, the prices are cheap, it has great variety of cosmetics and perfumes. We spent aroung 2 hours inside- trying to finish all our USD!!
Apparently, shopping is endless here in Midtown.
We continued to shop after dinner...spoke to one of the staff in a souvenior shop and he assured us that NYC is very safe, there's video cams and undercover agents all aound the city.
Went to Hersheys, M&M's
look at the sexy legs!
Well, we saw another SEPHORA, went in and shop till 11...
By the time we reach back hotel, there were already so many things to pack. We had to wake up 3 plus the next day to catch our flight back to Singapore...
