New York Day 2 and 3:it smells weird here
New York is one neat busy place. It does smell weird though. We started off the day yesterday and this morning by being shuttled to a strange quick stop by our hotel driver. And let me mention that we are staying in Flushing, Queens, NY, about 20 miles from times square and about a 30 minute subway ride. Flushing is a predominately Chinese/Korean community so the subway ride for about 5 stops is Travis, me, Kyrstan, and Daisy and the rest are chinese people. Travis and I are about 2 ft taller than everyone. Its weird being the minority after living in Woodward, Ok practically my whole life. I have always been scared to ride the subway. Movies make it look much different than it is. People are completely non threatening. Everyone, even old ladies, get on with earbuds in and ipods on and close tneir eyes until their stop. Everyone just wants to get to where theyre going. So we get off and Times Square is beautiful! So shiny and bright....but it still smells weird. I did rock an OSU shirt my first day and got some comments. We went to a giant toys r us with a ferris wheel and a human sized barbie dream house. Travis loved that part! We went to m&m world and each of us got a different colored m&m shirt for a family picture when the baby is born. he gets a yellow m&m onesie! We went to the hersheys store which smelled great! Love the bus tours and hard rock cafe. Today i got my picture taken with Edward Cullen. He was made of wax but i dont care! Planning on going to the statue of liberty tomorrow.
