american trip - second

so, just though i'd continue stuff about my american trip.

3rd day
uhh... wait lemme sort out what I did on this day.

oh got it. :D we went to NBC studios. it was pretty cool, looking at studios and seeing presenters present. (wth)
I also got to know that in reality , studios aren't as big as we see on screen. IT'S A SCAM PEOPLE. they have crushed my dream T_T
I felt like taking pictures but since it's subject to copyright we weren't allowed. dammit.

later on in the day we went to central park. IT WAS HUUUUGE. I promise you i'll post pictures of it later on. it's so pretty <3 style="font-style: italic;">how encouraging am I.
then since it was so cold and the winds were picking up, we went next door to the metropolitan museum of art.~
oh and while I was walking up the stairs to go in the museum, an old man beside me JUST FELL OUT OF THE BLUE. (no, not out of the sky, I meant he tripped so suddenly it startled me)

and he was bleeding. 0_____0

ms sabbagh ran over to the man and asked if he was alright. I think he was crying? idk.
the boys wanted to help him up but the police got him and we were left to go inside.

so, the museum wasn't all that bad, but the sculptures are vulgar that I had to close my eyes. :D some painting were like that too. what's with romans and greeks out there...
then after we went out, we found out that the old man that fell was just brought in into the ambulance. we spent a freakin hour in that museum and the ambulance just came? hoo boy.
and I forgot about the rest of the day :D maybe carisa or andin can give a better explanation.

4th day
so, this day... we headed to washington. we watched national treasure one and two on the bus, which tells us mostly about america. which was great. GO NICHOLAS CAGE.
this day was full of memorials and stuff so although I did take lots of pictures, it was pretty normal. nothing really special.
except maybe the white house and embassy row :D

now, we went to the memorials of lincoln, kennedy, jefferson and roosevelt. also the war memorials of the korean and the iwojima war. many statues and quotes, nothing special much.
oh, a fact: did you know that the National Mall isn't a mall where we shop? :D it's a place between the lincoln memorial and washington monument. there's a huge pool in the middle. i'll give a picture~
and it's also the area between the smithsonian museums and the capitol - washington monument. I forgot which one XD

we only got to see the white house from afar, which wasn't all that great since I wanted to kill bush with a shoe. :D and maybe see obama.
oh speaking of obama, I found the obama bobbleheads. -gubrak- I thought it didn't exist and yet there it was. scary yarr? there was also mccain but his bobblehead was scary so I didn't buy.

okay, the embassy row was FAAAABULOUS.

SO, it was all the embassies of the world; I couldn't count. THERE WAS INDONESIA SO IT WAS FAAABULOUS. :DDDD
it also looked better than the one in qatar. ah america <3

i'll post pictures after my camera's charged.


-TO BE CONTINUED-

american trip - intro

okay, so I changed my blog layout. pretty nifty yes?
thank god for XML documents. there are a few better ones but anyway they have been used by lots of people. (and this one isn't?)

well as most of you know, I went to the american trip and just came back about 2 days ago. and I just have one thing to say.
AMERICA IS SO COOL <3
although it was tiring and we had to walk more than 2 kilometres (-getshot-) it was loads of fun.

so, at the airport, we had to wait about... was it an hour... after we got in the immigration. the reason why was because some people got held up and interviewed because of their nationality. seriously, what the hell. the people who were checking our passports were scary @_@ it's like being in a police office. good thing I didn't get interviewed, or else i'd have a weird experience the first time I came to america in years.
New York looks exactly the same the way I remembered it. especially Little Italy.
we ate at this restaurant in Little Italy - an italian restaurant, duh - and the waiters were so gay. (gay in 2 different ways. XD) oh and:

Lily: the waiters here are so gay. (gay as in happy)
one of the waiters: *looks at lily and most possibly thinking 'I am SO not gay'*
Lily: *shuts mouth*

since here in Qatar we say gay as in happy, well in america it's different. DIFFERENT.
then after that we went on the bus back to the hotel, sorting ourselves out and sleep. I was one room with marshii and lily while carisa was with andin and these egyptian sisters. we slept in a hotel in New Jersey, which is not New York. -keeps mental note-

2nd day? pretty cool. we went to the ferry to go to the Statue of Liberty. on the boat it was DAMN COLD - I felt like dying. not to mention the fact when the big horn on the boat got off it startled us all. but I got used to it right after XD since i'm surrounded by loud voices all my life. -coughcarisacough-
then after we went to the statue of liberty we were dropped off into Battery Park, which we didn't have enough time for sight-seeing. and the group was separated because it was very crowded. @_@ so we walked into wall street (I finally remembered why it was called wall street - so many freakin walls honestly) and arrived at this harbor.

I shall call it Peking harbor for the fact that there was a ship called Peking there. lily was shocked and took many pictures of it. :D

then we had time to eat and shop for about an hour or so. I managed to buy a game which I didn't start yet, though I should. AND THERE'S NO FREAKIN SUMMON NIGHT 3 SJDFVBKJRVFKHBV.
there was only summon night 1 and 2 which I already have. dammit.
and so, we gathered in front of that peking ship and then it was our time to go. our bus broke down for some apparent reason and we had to switch buses. good thing I didn't leave anything on the last bus or else i'd panic. :D

then we had a tour of uptown, midtown and downtown of New York. we also saw ground zero - the terrorist attack site - and it was just a construction site, nothing special yet.
and I just knew that the north of SoHo is NoHo. ISHDHAKAL.
there was also a district in brooklyn called DUMBO. -ahhahahahahaha- it stands for... for... district umbala manhattan broadway order? :D
/getshot/

then we went to times square. IT WAS SO SHINY *0* AND I LOVED IT. too bad we didn't get to shop there or else i'd have no money left. (is that a good thing)

then after dinner we went to... BROADWAAAAAY~
we watched spamelot and it was so funny, although I slept for a while because I was tired. then I woke up during the gay scene. :D
when we walked out it was snowing. too bad it didn't cause sheets of snow the next day. T_T

-to be continued since it was 10 days and if I only wrote 2 days it would be just WRONG-
