Night city in New York

Got the opportunity to see the night city, New York when the family invited me to join them. We went by the Holland tunnel and returned via Lincoln tunnel (both tunnel under-sea).

There is a great different between New Jersey and New York. Over here in NY is very busy and heavy traffic. Many people walking along the street, and litter seen every where. The china town is like the old china town in Singapore and KL – low building and the shop names are all in Chinese.

We went into a famous bun 包 shop. The people here speaks Cantonese – my feeling went back to those old day…I am amused by their approach, exactly the good old day’s way of handling. People do not mind at all and waited patiently to get their order. This family orders 2 dozen of bun 烧包 and 烧卖 took them about an hour. They love the bun very much and each time the order can be 2-4 dozen. Aiyo, I am just too comfortable back home, we could easily get bun everywhere and will never spent so much time (traveling and waiting = 2 hours, 我的妈呀).

Lighting over in time square is beautiful (see video) and people just crowding up the street, very busy streets.


Try down loading some of the video taken but mostly unsuccessful. Hopefully these 3 work.
