finally we decided to opt for a change in the mode of transport to new york. instead of flying, we took a coach. the coach that we chose is Megabus. initially Megabus looks good on paper: got wifi, got lavatory in the bus, and travels to new york in 4.5 hours.
but in reality, wifi signal super weak, it took us 6 hours to reach new york, but thank goodness the lavatory is existent and is clean, so i didnt die from 尿急. hahaha.
at new york we are staying at cheryl's apartment. cheryl is darling's good friend from jc. she gave us directions on how to get to her apartment from the new york bus terminal that we alighted. initally i was super worried that we will hor lan like mad but thank goodness her directions were really clear and we reached the apartment safely! at that time my arms were tired and sore because the subway was not very pedestrian friendly, and i had to carry both the luggages down and up the staircase. DAMN SHAG.
so we met cheryl, cheryl's husband and her house mates! and the first place we went is Chinatown and Little Italy!
we had dinner at this chinese restaurant that sells malaysian food. the roti canai, curry yong tau foo and mee goreng were superb! reminds me of home!
and we saw a bubble tea shop after dinner! we were so thrilled because this was our first time seeing a bubble tea shop in the united states. but we were too full to drink bubble tea so we told ourselves to buy it to try if we are coming back to chinatown.
and that wraps it for day 1!
