I Love New York!

We are back from new york!

New york city hadn't attracted me that much until this trip. Perhaps it's nearly summer time that the weather is nicer and hotter, or perhaps i missed city life, nyc reminded me taipei the speed i used to walk and live on. The heat got me dizzy since the sec i went out from the buildings just like the way in taipei, the apartment buildings covered up half of the sky just like the way in taipei, the street stands took over the sidewalks in shopping areas just like the way in taipei, the yellow cabs ran crazily all over the whole city just like the way in taipei, the restaurants and entertainment sat in every corner just like the way in taipei, and the neon lights were always on 24-7-365 just like the way in taipei. i couldn't help imagining how wonderful the life would be if i had chance to live in nyc.

Until i sensed i was holding my bf's hand. It's a big hand which always protects me from harms and offers me security and happiness. And that's the reason i'm here. Then i realized nyc dream is only for single people or certain characteristics of groups like those women in sex & the city, those who can fully enjoy and take advantages of what nyc offers, no matter they're expensive designer shoes, admirable jobs, or crazy night fun. Then i found i cared more about whether there's big space, safe neighborhood, or natural environment for kids to play and run, instead of cool pubs, fun events, stylish shops, or good-looking guys.

i guess i'll just save nyc for my next life.

It was a great trip and also a great surprise to some people from my bf's families. He didn't inform any of them his coming so we kept getting those stunning faces when he showed up. And of course they loved to see him even tho it was unexpected. The sister got an apple laptop as her bday gift, the little cousins got to beat up their big bro with tons of various quizzes, the aunt got to care for her nephew & niece again with delicious home food, and i got to meet his beloved sister (finally) and some of his family members in new jersey (unexpected to me as well).

Apart from those young people's hangouts, i had a great afternoon playing with his cousins and enjoying the aunt's warm hospitality.
