New York - 5th Avenue (Deep Pockets Required)

July 2010

5th Avenue was just 2 streets away from my hotel and it's definitely the street that any visitor to New York must go, especially if you are really into shopping but a word of caution though ...deep pockets required else it's window shopping while drooling over the world of high fashion, catering for the the rich and famous and those with an expensive taste...

Unlike the shops back in Malaysia, these outlets close pretty early and hence the best time to go would be during the day and one day is certainly not enough.
The Apple Store located on 5th Avenue New York. This is a must go place for any fan of the late Steve Jobs. When we were there, Ipad was the `in thing' and I had my chance playing with one. Waiting period for delivery then in New York - 4 weeks !!!
For the ladies, this is definitely one building that you would want to check it out....LV, something that every lady would love to have or already have in their arsenal ....
"Money Money Money ...it's a rich man's world"....time to get me a lottery ticket before heading back here for my next visit ....

Times Square - New York

July 2010

When one visits New York, several well known landmark is a must see, must go and must feel. One of this is the famous Times Square. Fortunately, our hotel is located just 5 minutes away from it. Seeing it on TV is one thing but physically being there is another thing all together.

The sight, the sound, the sense, the rush of bodies brushes against yours as they hurried somewhere important (..and I think that is generally that is the pace of a true genuine New Yorker unlike Asian tourist like yours truly who has all the time in the world and trying hard to absorb it all in) was certainly previous and memorable.


The huge brightly lit advertisement signboards were everywhere and every corner you look, someone is trying to convince you to buy something! It's world where money does talk and people listen .....
Times Square at night is equally exciting with ever busy (if not busier) streets and huge neon advertisement signboards blasting out the latest gadget, service, movie or broadway musical ....


It is also here that you will find the largest M&M outlet besides Hard Rock New York where you can drop in for meal or simply a drink and grab a souvenir just like I did.
