day 17.

the last day of my tripping. woke up early today and took a walk around flushing. bought some tuna sandwiches for lunch later. budget's really running tight, just left like a few dollars and pennies in my wallet, barely enough for a cup of coffee, dunkin donuts and a pack of smoke which i have to get before i leave nyc. DRY. i still got my citi as the last resort though. lady in shop was pretty hostile. period. got out of the motel at 12pm. took the subway all the way from main street back to rosevelt ave, transferred to E line to jamaica station and than the air train to JFK. the trip was smooth as it was a sunday. not crowded, thankfully. my flight back to singapore was SQ 25, 2105. 8 hrs free time to roam about in JFK. JFK was pretty messy with so many connecting terminals. took me awhile before i got to my departing terminal. exhausted yet excited to get back home. the sight of SIA plane gave me a sense of home after being so long away from home, alone. what an experience.

day 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16

day 11 was the end of the east coast tour. the coach transferred most of the people in the tour back to logan international to take their flights back home. i got transferred back to nyc, flushing to continue my tour in NYC. it took me 5hrs from boston back to nyc. bid farewell to the guide and people in it. went back to the same motel which i was previously staying. ok, i am left with 500usd. i would try to maximise this sum of money before i'm declared penniless and make my way back home. i got an open air tix on my return trip. the 5 days spent in nyc were basically having simple meals, trying to roam as much places as possible in nyc with the subway rides and long walks around nyc. always make it a point to get back to flushing before 9 as it's pretty dangerous hanging arn nyc in the night. flushing was comparatively safe. visited most of the streetlifes in nyc; 'canale street', 'meatpacking streets', 'grand central station', 'brighton beach', 'roosevelt avenue' and 'arthur avenue'. p.s.- the kebab at meatpackng street was extremely delicious. noted. museums were pretty interesting as well; 'brooklyn museum of arts', 'historical society' and the 'jewish museum'. didn't catch any broadway shows as tixs were way too exp for me to watch. simple meals, long walks, new experience, fags and some booze. no worries. what's more to ask for.
