I'm a Pedestrian

I was so eager to go to New York, because of all the big buildings and because it's New York and It's so famous for stuff like the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State building and the Stock Exchange. I was somewhat dissapionted when our trip was mainly comprised of museums. In Washington I don't have to walk a lot, because the buses aren't crowded and everybody has a car. But in NEW YORK you have to walk everywhere, because the cars go 10 miles per hour in the city.The Subway was our solution, but to my dismay i still had to walk. The good thing is after about 6 hours if shopping with my sisters and running to the subways, you get used to the burning pain stabbed in your heel. The really good thing was now i don't wake up in the middle of the night. I just fall over like dead horse whose been beat up.

New York

Anyways After just just a few days in Washington, we had to go get ready to go to New York. So in about a week i had my bags packed and was going to New York. jetBlue was really nice. I enjoyed the leather seats. After a nice four hour ride to New York we rode the subway to where my sister lives, but the heat hit me like a brick wall!. Washington and New York are around the same latitude but the temperature difference could have been 40 degrees! 30 minutes later of riding the subway we arrived in brooklyn. Graffiti covered the walls of most buildings, but it's a nice neighborhood there. After we got settled down in Tina's aparatments, we went out to dinner, and then Ifell straight to sleep. New York was going to be fun for me.

The Weather

The weather was probably a normal topic 20 years ago, because it was normal. Now, I think it's going out of control. When I came back from Taiwan, Washington was cold enough to be in fall. Then I went to New York to visit my sister and a heat wave was waiting for us. When I went back to Washington, hoping to get a respite from the extreme weather, I found it as cold as before. And I heard that we just missed a heat wave here in Seattle. With more hurricanes and tornados then ever before, and heat waves breaking records all over the U.S. I think it's safe to say that global warming is taking it's toll. Luckily I saw a commercial that said would save the human race if disaster ever befell us. My hopes for human continuation are now at an all time high.

Taiwanese Culture

This link leads to a tourist ad about Taiwan called Beyond your Expectations . Okay so let me be the judge of this. What do you see thats special? Beautiful landscapes, Farmers that are making a living and big cities. The really big cities in Taiwan are infested with vermin such as really tough cockroches and rats. Once I cut off a cockroaches head, stabbed him in the back and then electrified him for 10 minutes, and I still got to watch the cockroach crowl down a storm drain when Ithrew him away. Theres millions in big cities you know.The Nature scenes are mainly deep in the taiwanese jungle, so they are only easily acsessed by flying over in a plane or looking out the window as your train winds through the wilderness. The ocean is the same too. Most of the ocean is too dangerous and so is illegal to camp on. The parts that are the best are ususally crowded and only aceessible through tiny one story villages in the middle of nowhere. And iv'e heard that the rain in Taiwan causes you to lose hair. That leaves the farmers which I can't criticize but i doubt you went to Taiwan to bother farmers.

Taiwan Fashion

When I went to Taiwan, The clothing there was very diverse. Take a walk in the night market and you'll see a crowd of people that looks like an opaque rainbow. They wear brighter side of the color spectrum there, and their shirts often say old sayings and gibberish that sounds cool. I can still recall some such as " I come from the Ghetto!" and "FUN HAPPY PARTY" and "Don't target the person who listens to dead singers!!!" Yes that shirt had 3 excalmation pionts followed by a pink LOL, but because I perceive them as losers at a first glance, I gain self-esteem. I shamelessly say that thats pretty cool.
