New York City

If you ask me few months ago about will I go to NYC in summer 2003, I would say no!! After all the hypes about New York, coming from movies and news, it was a great feeling for me to actually say that I have been to NY.

In our journey there, it was mainly lots of sightseeing which for me usually I get really bored. However, being in NY, it was only place I been so far that I love to see around.

We tried to go most places and sites as possible in 4 days. We used a Grayline tour bus to take us around. The places that we been are Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Time Square, Madison Square Garden and around Central Park.

Going to Ground Zero wasn't supposed to be a holidaying experience. We went there to pay our respects. There was a feeling of sadness around but as soon I saw the construction has started, it shows that nothing can stop us living on!!

To be honest...it taken me more than 20 minutes to realise that I am in Time Square!

We're in Bowling Green. Trust Rakesh to clean the Bull's nose!!

Are we nervous abt the height or the person taking a pic might steal the camera??

I did not sneak through. This is me in a suites box which have great view of the arena!!

Calm down!! Hes not real as we visited Madame Tussauds. I am celebratin freedom with Nelson Mandela.

"Look Gandhi...theres Mickey Mouse!!"

Rakesh was soon arrested after his underhand tactics. I had to bail him out afterward!!

me actually in the island of Statue of Liberty. We did not go up the head due to post sept 11th!

Inside Madison Square Garden. Its remind me the scene from Godzilla!

Me and Jayna in Empire State Building. Rakesh jumped over already!!

Crap pic to put up but this is me on a boat with Brooklyn Bridge behind me.

Only time I CAN GET BEHIND J-LO! I told her that Im single if she change her mind abt Ben Affleck.

Macpherson is too tall to kiss so I tried to smell her but all I can smell is Rakesh's aftershave!

"Seriously Bushy....when are you gonna find Saddam or Osama Bin Laden???"

Crossing the Manhattan Bridge!

A street view of Empire State Building. Its look small from far away but as u get closer it is TALL!

Despite being not sunny, this is a remarkable of view of Manhattan!!!

From Empire State Building, this is a view of Madison Square Garden.

The guy who build Effiel Tower helps to build this. I wanna complain that the face look like a man!

Construction has started already for a new building @ Ground Zero. Nothing will stop them!!

This is from Madame Tussauds and it shows the firemen (HEROES) raising USA flag!!

Closer view of Brooklyn Bridge!

We went to entrance of this building to go up and UP!!!

top view from Empire State lookin @ Brooklyn Bridge!

Busy traffic in Time Square. It is almost impossible to cross the road!!!

A special sight of Statue of Liberty and NYC. Shame there wasnt a Twin Towers in view!!

The emotional experience for me as I learnt the devasting effect when I get closer to Ground Zero.
