How to survive in NY?

[monicai]

do you think it is okey if i suddenly put my two finger and insert in someone's nose while in the subway?

what a stupid question?

actually, my question is...where is St. Patrick's Cathedral? i'll be staying in an apartment near Grand Central. Is it far?

[audra]

Grand Central Station or Grand Central Parkway?

St. Pat's is in 5th Ave., malapit sa Saks, lapit na din sa Rockefeller Plaza.

[monicai]

Grand Central Station ata.

Thanks Audra!

ingat ka sa NY, don't forget my New York Yankee black baseball ha hehehehehehehe

[audra]

ah so sa manhattan ka pala magstay eh. di mabuti, sobrang accessible sa lahat.

kelan uli dating mo?

[gotcha2]

kung sanay ka sa manila, sigurado akong mag survive ka sa NYC.
Pareho lang sila with the vendors, traffic, mga weirdo, maraming muggers, mga bums, agawan minsan sa taxi/subway. The bottom line is wag masyadong pahalatang tourista ka. Inggat ka dyan.

Actually, it's Grand Central TERMINAL, not Grand Central STATION. The trains terminate there, so it's not just a station to stop through.

[audra]

oops, my bad. oh well, it's always been a station to me.

[SIOPAO MAN]

That's okay, honest mistake. A lot of people think that. By the way, here's me at Grand Central Terminal last winter:

SIOPAOMAN: I stand corrected. Thanks! You look different in the photo though.

istarbaks: not yet. ;D

Audra: be flying there on the 9th and should be arriving on the same day there.

DracoB: hehehehehehe. basta christmas gift ko....pwede pambayad sa delivery charge ko.

gotcha2: well, i can act like one but i hope i'm not dressed like one. sana my clothes are not thick enough to be noticed.

btw, anyone heard of marshalls?

[audra]

oo nga, medyo mga 1997 pa ata yung ibang stock sa Marshall's. tutal sa city ka naman magstay, dami kang makikita dun.

Nope, they are mostly located in the mid-west.

hi guys!

i'm here na sa NY. Lamig dito....pero i was fortunate because the weather got a little warmer when i got here. then again, it is still cold and can get any colder when the winter comes in.

it is nothing different in Manila....except that of course, Manila is more humid (and polluted) compared here. People are friendly and i feel right at home.

The subway tends to be confusing at first....but as long as i know where uptown and downtown is.....i'm fine.

Ang mahal ng pagkain dito. I know it is a sin to convert dollar to peso pero i can't help it. I need to convert to make my expense report on my way back.

Jetlag is pretty bad as well. Can't help nodding my head off towards the end of the day. thank God i'm in a secluded cubicle. dehins ako kita ng mga tao dito. hehehehehehe. i can sneak a few winks.

Cab drivers are pretty scary. Ang bibilis mag drive..... i almost had a heart attack. Thank God I got home in one piece.

Anyways, if you guys have something more to say about the things i need to do or see while i'm in NY, please do post.
