This is East USA Part 1
Day 1 - Singapore/Tokyo Narita/Minneapolis, USA/New Jersey
It started on the night of 26th November 2008. Our luggage was all packed and ready to go. It was an extremely joyful day for me as I was about to go to America.
The suspense and excitement was killing me. I had to wait all day just to get into the plane. Furthermore, we had to make 2 transits (Tokyo, Narita and U.S.A. Minneapolis) just to get there! Counting only the time we took to reach there, it was about 27 hours!!! After the gruelling torture, we finally arrived there at New Jersey.
(Mario and Me)The next morning, we met our tour guide “Super” Mario. He was a very entertaining and humorous Italian, with a lot of information about the places and attractions we have been to. He can speak about 7 different languages, Itatiano,English, Chinese, Spanish, French, German and Japanese.

On the first day we toured New York City and Manhattan. Lucky for us, we were there on Thanksgiving Day! Which means less traffic, and more time, but that also means less stalls and restaurants open. We saw the Statue of Liberty (but we never went onto the island), Times Square, Rockefeller Centre (we went to the Times square and Rockefeller Centre the night before through a night tour, and we saw a big Christmas tree!), United Nations building, Wall Street, and most importantly, the Empire state building.
(A scenary from the Empire State Building)The Empire State building was our last stop for the day. We had a great time there. We got up to the 86 storey, open-air viewing balcony. From there, we could see the whole of New York, the ground zero (Twin Towers), Chinatown, The Statue of Liberty, everything!
Alright, that is it for today. There is part 2 coming up in a few days time. Bye!
