New York Pass - Day 2 (Part 2)

Third stop: Lincoln Center

Esplanade's counterpart in the West. Ha. The Lincoln Center is a performing arts center that showcases opera, ballet, theatre and etc. It's really a very beautiful place, especially the main entrance to the concert halls. Too bad, no photography allowed.

The Metropolitan Opera House was under renovation when we were there. Not too sure whether the renovations are done. Although I never heard of this before, as far as I know this is a world-renowed opera house.

Group photo after the tour!

Fourth stop: CNN

We didn't go for the CNN tour actually cos by the time we got there, the last tour had already finished. Sad lorz. But the CNN tour will probably be about the same as the NBC tour.

Qian and Anastas were somewhere busy taking pictures so me and Shi were terribly bored while waiting for them. We then decided to take pictures of ourselves too. Haha.

Being the ever-so-friendly american, there was this lady who insisted on helping us with photo taking. Haha, hence ta-dah..the following photo.

Last stop: Empire State Building (again!)

Why are we going back to Empire again?? 3 reasons. 1) We heard from Andrew & co that the night view is fantastic. 2) This is the only place that we could visit at night using our new york pass. 3) Being accountants, cannot lu-gee. Must maximise the use of the new york pass. Wahahaha.

The night view is really awesome. But all our amateur cameras can't really capture the scenery well. Oh, and the world is sooo small that we actually met Fang Fang, Xinting and Fabio at Empire!! We were so excited when we saw each other and go ahhhing and ohhing.

Final stop: Home

The 4 of us were so damn tired after 2 hectic days of sight-seeing that we decided to end the day off early and go back to our hotel to play Monopoly. Hehe. Shi bought a set of monopoly there. Its the 70th anniversary limited edition and it was ultra duper cheap!



Later in the night, we went to Port Authority Terminal to send Anastas off. I wondered if he had really enjoyed himself these 2 days. I hope he did.
