United States - NYC

  

  It's my third time to New York. I was young back then so memories were light, but now I've grown to the age to enjoy the diversity and color of this big apple. Oh, I must admit - I love it, love it, love it. I love this charming City of Manhattan, every single drop of it. For me growing up without history, diversity has been a significant part of me. And in Manhattan, I saw so much colors that my heart really feels belong. Will it ever be my home? It is too soon, too soon to answer this question, but for sure, this won't be my last visit of it.
 
 
Witnessing the ball dropping on New Year's Eve in Times Square has been my dream of a life time. And this Yr2008 marks the 100th anniversary of this ball dropping. OMG, did it, been here, love every single moment of it. Yep, really really love it. The weather was so accommodating, a sweet five degree C, no clouds, no rain. Got there at noon, barricaded at 43-44th St., sweet 2 blocks directly from the ball, then no washroom for the next 12 hours. Millions and millions witnessed the moment world wide, and I was there LIVE along with other 750,000. Oh, made it, one of the unforgettable moments of my life. Oh, sweet life, thanks!
