Hey guys, I’m finally back! I’m so happy I’m back I’ve been so busy with my internship, summer camps, and volunteering, I didn’t have enough time to write anything. I finally found some time, this blog post is about going to New York, NYC. I went for my birthday which was in May but because of finals and AP testing I had to push it back until July. It was really fun, and I hope you enjoy!

It was really fun landing in New York, smooth sailing flight and nothing could have been better, I soon realized that weed was allowed in New York and I was sort of dying. The smell of weed makes my stomach and throat hurt. If you read my Paris blog you understand I don’t do well when it comes to smoke, and weed has a really unsettling smell. I also had to wear masks sometimes because of the air quality caused by the Canadian wildfires, which was disappointing but you know health first. Also, the traffic in NYC is no joke, we were in Manhattan and I was shocked by the amount of honking that took place.

The hotel was marvelous, it was a luxurious hotel called Hilton Millennium, but I couldn’t check in right away because of cleaning, so what else to do but explore? Getting tickets to the Wax Museum was one of the weirdest and best decisions of my life, I’m going to say it out there, the Wax Museum terrifies me. Why do they look so real? And they can’t move they just continuously stare at you. As I headed over to the Wax Museum, I stopped at the Grand Central Station because I’ve never been before and it was so big, so beautiful, and gave yes girl yes vibes. Also there was literally a market inside the Grand Central Station which was really new to me for some reason. It was very picture worthy though, and my sister asked for me to act like a tourist for one of her photos which was fun. The more I can pretend I don’t know her the more I can relax. I’m just joking! She’s my entertainment. You’ll understand soon enough. I also made friends with a pigeon, you know, we were bonding and then my sister decided to kick it and scare it away. Unfortunately I was in front of the pigeon so it brushed past me, which is a feeling I never want to feel again. I decided to call it Ted, say hi to Ted.

After exploring the Grand Central Station I walked over to the Wax Museum. There were some many people I could or couldn’t recognize, like right when you walk in you’re greeted by The Rock and Taylor Swift. I met many celebrities and more, like Dua Lipa, Megan Markle and Prince Harry, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande, Priyanka Chopra, Kris Jenner, Lady Gaga, Aishwarya Rai, and Rihanna. That’s quite literally only naming a few because there are SO many wax models.

There were many sections of the Wax Museum, from celebrities, to Broadway, to Presidents, to a really interesting scary section.

It was weird seeing Shah Rukh Khan looking so young. I’m so used to the older and long haired Shah Rukh Khan, but I really liked the short Bollywood section.

It was a really fun day, but I think my favorite part of the day was eating pizza. Eating Joe’s Pizza was the best idea ever. I highly recommend, it said it was a very popular pizza joint and it didn’t lie, the pizza was really good. The line was long but it went by pretty quickly and I was glad I was patient and not as hungry or else I would have hated waiting in line. As I was walking back to the hotel with the pizza I overheard someone fighting on the street but I didn’t care much about it. OK that was a HUGE lie, I’m extremely nosy sometimes so I peered to see what was happening and it was some dude arguing with a lady, and then the guy threw a shopping cart at this lady. I was like yeah we need to go right now.

That was pretty much all that happened that day, it was because that was the day we landed in NYC, so it was less busy then the other days that will be posted sooner or later. I know this blog was a little short compared to my other blogs but the first day in NYC wasn’t as busy as the other days that will be coming up. So stay tuned! Or don’t.
