I'm traveling now - 7th day in New York

Oh my gosh!!
Halloween Parade..!!
I was supposed to join the Halloween Parade.

Here is the story.

However, I've changed my mind to enjoy Halloween with Chloe who is known each other from a community which is famous for working hoilday. Before I met her, I didn't prepare anything for Halloween.
As I don't want to spend money a lot, I just bought a red cape. I wore strong eye-line and red lip color. I've never used to wear red lip color, but I think I like it now. lol.

After wearing the cape, I met her. As soon as we met, we had dinner which are wings and pork lib. And then, we took a ton of photos together and with strangers.
Lastly, we had cocktails. 버라이어티한 여행의 연속!! ㅎ

I'm traveling now - 6th day in New York.

아.. 정말 시간 잘간다..
처음에 영어로 쓰기 시작해서 계속 영어로 써야할거 같은데..-_-;;
쓰다가 삼일째부터 쓰던거 날려먹어서 새로 쓰기 너무 힘들었음..ㅠ
translation... translation.. 퇴고 따위는 못하고 그냥 쓴대로 바로 게시해버리는..;;
나중에 되면 더 귀찮아질거 같아서라는 핑계로..-_-;;ㅋㅋ

오늘은 한국어로 써야지..ㅋ 피곤하니께?ㅋ
오늘 일정은 생각보다? 빡빡하게 짰는데 금방 끝났음.!!
매일 되는 체크인과 체크아웃..-_- 아침에 어김없이 체크 아웃 하고 프론트 직원하고 얘기하는데 메모지에 뭔가를 적어줬다. "you are beautiful" ㅋㅋ
오늘 어디갈거냐고 물어봐주고 길도 다 설명해주고 ㅋㅋ 난 구글맵에 의존하는 여자인데 오늘은 그 직원 말대로 가보기로 했다. 왜냐면 나 지도 보기 연습해야하니까!!ㅋㅋ

황소상하고 자유의 여신상 보고 트리니티 교회랑 메모리얼 파크 가고 센츄리 21 아울렛 가는 것이 오늘의 예정된 코스였다.
지하철 역에서 나오자마자 거의 바로 황소상이 보였는데 아침 일찍이라 그런지 사람들이 그렇게 많지는 않았다.
부자가 되기 위해서라면!! 난 할 수 있다!!를 외치며 터치! 아이코 부끄러워라>_<;;

황소랑 사진도 찍고, 주변을 좀 둘러보다가 유명한 랍스터롤을 먹으러 갔다. 처음에 랍스터롤 들었을 때 김밥같은 건지 알았는데 빵 속에 랍스터 넣어주는 거였다. ㅋㅋ 주문을 해서 딱 받아보는 순간! 아.. 정말 작다..!!ㅋㅋ 조그만한 게 17불이 넘었던 것 같다. 그래도 맛은 정말정말 환상!!ㅋ 입안 꽉 차는 랍스터 살 ㅋㅋㅋ 버터를 발라 바삭하게 구운 빵과 랍스터살+ㅁ+!!

아침을 건너 뛴 관계로 후루룩 먹고나서 페리를 타러 선착장으로 향했다. 시간이 임박해올 때까지 길을 못찾아서 헤매다 물어서 냅다 뛰었다. 다행히 늦지는 않았다.
페리 요금에는 오디오 가이드까지 포함인데 도착해서 사용할 수 있고, 9개국어 지원이었던 거 같은데 한국어는 없었다. 영어로 듣다가.. 아.. 작동법도 잘 모르겠고 그냥 포기했다.ㅋㅋ
일본 오다이바에서 자유의 여신상을 봤었는데 또 다시 뉴욕에서 보다니, 정말 신기했다.

그렇게 자유의 여신상을 보고 트리니티 교회를 갔다오니 벌써 해가 저물어서 메모리얼 파크는 포기하고 센츄리 21에 갔다. 쇼핑의 천국인 뉴욕이지만 짐을 생각해서 아무것도 사지 않기로 했다. 그렇게 오늘 하루도 즐거운 여행!!ㅎ

I'm traveling now - 5th day in New York

While I stay a hostel, there are big noisy outside because of construction. So I couldn't sleep well everyday.

I was supposed to meet 윤형 around 11am. She is from Korea as well. We've known each other about one month. I posted to find someone for traveling with me, she contacted me. Before we met, we talked a lot about traveling though KakaoTalk.

여김없이 큰 소리에 깨서 씻고 났더니.. she sent a message.. "언니 나 늦잠잤어요.. 근데 다른 애들이 화장실 써서 나 다 씻을때까지 기다려야 할거 같아요.." oh my gosh.!!
뭐 어쩔 수 없징..!! We've changed time to meet, and then we finally met at the Chelsea market. The Chelsea market is decorated many scary stuff and ghosts for Halloween. Once we met, we talk a lot..!!폭풍수다!!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
We looked around the market quickly, and bought some food to eat in High line park.

첼시 마켓 나와서 하이파크 찾아가는데.. 정말 마성의 첼시마켓임.. 입구를 못찾아서.. 엄청 헤매고..!! ㅋㅋ
Finally, we made it. !! 가자마자 폭풍식사 후, 산책!!

(이날 별로 한게 없구나..-_-;; 말은 엄청 많이 한듯.. 정말 몇일만에 한국사람 만나서 ㅋㅋ)

I'm traveling now - 4th day in New York

I knew one of good restaurants for blueberry pancake. Actually, I wasn't supposed to go there, but I love to eat delicious food and interesting food. So I decided to go there. When I searched the path, it wasn't too far. After walking, I noticed it's too far. 어찌됐건.. 드디어 찾음!!!! There are a bunch of people who are waiting their order.
I asked a staff to write my name on the waiting list. I waited about 20 mins. After that, I could enter the restaurant. I wanted to eat egg benedict. That's my favorite I guess. But the restaurant is well known for the blueberry pancake. Thus, I order that with coffee. I asked a staff lactose free milk. They don't have lactose free milk. So the staff suggested soy milk.

They make every ingredient in their restaurant. 참 믿음지스러움!! The blueberry pancake was served with buttered maple syrup. 익숙한 버터타르트맛!!ㅋ 소이 밀크는 콩 비린내 나는걸로 봐서 직접 갈아서 만든게 확실!! ㅎㅎ

After eating, 폭풍식사후에~~>ㅁ<!
I was heading to Washington square park. 무도 멤버들도 갔던곳!! I love the place. 자유로움.. 여유.. 음악 하는 사람들.. 분수.. 많은 벤치... So I stayed about 1 hour.

그 다음일정은!! Greenwitch villiege.
I looked forward to see marc by jacobs stores. I thought I would buy something special. But I don't really need something. So I just had Banana pudding at the Magnolia bakery with tea.

오늘도 먹다 끝난 하루구나..~>_<!!

I'm traveling now - 3rd day in New York

I went to SOHO place.
To be honest, I think I don't like shopping. After I've gain weight, I don't want to buy anything for me including clothes, any accessories.
The place is for shopping. So I felt bored. I just had lots of food. Firstly, I had pizza in Lombardi's pizza which is the first place to sell pizza in New York. I had Calzone with pancetta which is similar to bacon and mushroom. I liked the pizza dough and mozzarella cheese. After having pizza, I went around Spring st and Prince st.

I tried find cafe Habana, but I just circled near the cafe. Because I didn't realize exact location. Finally, I found it and I had Mexican style grilled corn. There are cheese and Mexican spicy. I prefer to eat sweet corn. The taste was interesting. 음.. 라임을 뿌려서 그런가 약간 시큼하면서 멕시칸 스파이시 때문에 맵고-ㅁ-;; 음.. 암튼 되게 신기한맛이었음..!!

And I have lots of time the rest of day, I decided to go China town and little Italy. There isn't any boundary between China town and little Italy. It was so funny. I saw the sign which is "Little Italy", but there is China town. I just walked that area a little bit, and then I was going back Spring st. At that time, I found a good place for having cheese cakes. I just found it before, but I didn't expect go there. 그래도 찾았으니까 가야지!! ㅋㅋ so I had a strawberry and salted caramel cheese cake with tea. 와 진짜 맛있었음+ㅁ+ I took self pictures.

While I went back the hostel, I went Grace church which is famous for gothic architecture and stained glass. I have no idea about architecture and religion, I'm pretty sure it was so cool place. Along the street, I could find the Flat iron building and Madison square park. They provide free wifi as well. As the sun was gone, it wasn't good time to take pictures. I took pictures though.

I'm traveling now - 2nd day in New York

I went the Time square area. It wasn't far from the hostel which I'm staying. Thus, I just walked from the hostel to Time square. There is TKTS which is people can buy 50% discount tickets. I've stayed the time square a little bit while I took pictures, and then I went for lunch to Shake Shake which is very famous far burger in New York. I'd got super calories there by eating hamburger and drinking milk shake. lol...!!
After than, I was looking for the status which is "LOVE". 티비에서 보던 이 sculpture를 내눈으로!!! 우옹 ㅋㅋ

I was going back to the time square. There are a couple who are taking wedding photos. I was so jealous of them... 내팔자야..!! lol
Anyway, I took pictures again. Because I didn't satisfied with my before photos. At that time, I met a man who is from Hong-kong. He used to live in New York for 20 year before. He explained some history of Time square and he brought me to Hellen's market which opens during weekend only.

After visiting the market, I just walked blindly. Finally, I found a good place which is Bryan park. There are a bunch of stores and a ice link. It was so nice. Everyone can seat any seats in the park. Moreover, the park is provided a wi-fi service. I browsed the park and then I had apple cider. The weather was so windy, so it was perfect !!딱 안성맞춤!!

I met a man who is from California. He is a freelancer and has 2 jobs which are a programmer and finance analysis. I talked with him a lot. Whenever I meet people during a trip, I feel awkward. In addition, I have fear of strangers
However I believe I'm so lucky whenever I meet people, they are so nice to me and kind. And I like to meet people. I like to know about new people and talk with them. Who knows.. I might find my soul mate.

I'm traveling now - 1st day in New York

Finally, I've arrived in New York on 25th of Oct.
I wasn't excited about traveling.. Because.. I really wanted to stay in Toronto longer.

Anyway, I'm in New York now.


First day in New York.
Once I arrived at the hostel which is I booked, I had Turkish food which is a lamb plate and a dessert which is Kunefe.
After check-in, I visited the Grand Central Terminal and the Empire state building. I think I might see the Grand Central Terminal at a movie. It was familiar.
There are a market outside the Grand Central Terminal which sells lots of the other countries food and products. I just looked around the market. There are reversible baby's clothes in the market. I wanted to buy one, but I don't have any space in my luggage. After seeing the market and Grand Central Terminal, I was heading to the Empire state building. There are so many people. I think I waited over 3 hours until reaching 82 floors. Although I felt run down during waiting, it disappeared after I've seen awesome night view in New York. I didn't look forward to seeing the view, but it was so... wonderful!!!!

Traveling to west of Canada (Vancouver, Banff, Jasper)

Healing trip in Vancouver, Banff, Jasper (2014.08.18 - 2014.08.23)

I booked a Coho tour which is provided by local company whose name is Moose 1 month ago. On one hand, I was really looking forward to traveling. On the other hand, I was worried. Because not only I should have to carry out the tour schedule but I need to talk and hang out with foreigners in English. But it was good, consequently.

Firstly,
I've stayed for 2 days at the Samesun hostel in Vancouver. I could see some popular spots which are Stanley park, English bay, Gas town and Canada place. I don't have a good sense of direction, but a friend of mine has a nice sense of direction. So I felt comfortable during the trip by ourselves. First day in Vancouver, I went to Victoria island by Ferry. People who are travelers normally stay for more than 2 days, I just stayed there for a day. As the Ferry schedule, I couldn't see a bunch of good places, I could feel '여유로움', '한가함'.
Second day in Vancouver, I went to Stanley park. I think Stanley park is the biggest, beautiful, peaceful park I've ever seen. If I had ridden a bike well, I could ride a bike along a beach. So I took a shuttle bus that I can see attractive points instead of bike. It was good too.
After that, I was supposed to meet my friend who is Ah Hae. I've met her at a YBM language academy. We've been kept in touch with each other almost for a year and finally we met in Vancouver. Oh my gosh~!! 꿈이야 생시야!! Anyway, we had dinner which is Greek food and talked about our experiences which are we've had. I really glad to meet her.
Finishing dinner time, I was heading to Gas town. I loved it as soon as I saw. I fascinated by lots of lights and fancy restaurants, pretty stores.


Secondly, I joined the tour. I met Carrie who is not only a driver but also guide. When I saw her, I didn't expect that she will be our guide and driver. Because a Korean company which is located in Toronto has a driver and guide separately.

While we were traveling, we dropped by a variety of water falls and lakes which are amazing scenery. That's healing..!!!!
In addition, I learned some words which are glacier, avalanche and more. Even though I couldn't understand explanations of a guide perfectly, I felt so nice. 왠지 모르게 말이지!!ㅎ

One thing I remember vividly is when I stayed in Jasper. That area has limited water, electricity, food etc. We couldn't take a shower and use heater etc. I almost caught a cold. 아 진짜 색다른 경험 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Although we've had bad conditions, we had made a bunch of fun. For instance, playing card game, cooking dinner together..

The last day in my trip, I stayed in Banff. I hit upon "Muju". I thought it's similar between Muju and Banff. Those are a small town and a tourist spot. Moreover, Both of them are famous places for skiing, snowboarding. When I stayed in Banff, I went hot spring and mountain which is Rocky. It was so awesome. I was surprised at grand mountain and beautiful scenery. However, I couldn't see views clearly because of the weather. There were heavy mist mostly. I felt sorry that. 쪼금 아쉬웠다.

In conclusion, I really glad to have experiences which is this trip. Although I'm almost sick of seeing water falls and lakes and the cloudy, raining weather, I could see many stunning views and feel nature. 아, 대 자연이란...!!

And... I've had friends who are from HongKong. As long as we keep in touch with each other, I can visit Hongkong again some day. ㅋㅋㅋ
