Tonight, I’ll be leaving for New York with over 16 other people. I’m planning to take a bus from Chinatown, Boston to Chinatown, New York. It’s a 5-hour journey… about the same length as a trip from Singapore to KL. Will leave Boston at 2 a.m., arrive at 7 a.m., and then immediately start exploring. I’ve also managed to get a ticket to watch Les Miserable performed as a Broadway musical, by an award-winning cast! 
It cost a fortune… $133 USD, but it’s Broadway! Will be staying for one night at the Continental Hostel, and using Lucky Star bus services. My travelling and accommodation expenses in New York amount to only $70 in total, so the New York trip is costing me about $200 so far. Add another $100 for food, intra-city travel, and misc. sightseeing expenses, and I’ll reach my maximum budget for this trip, $300. Will come back on Sunday night at 10 p.m., if all goes well.
Things I’m planning to visit, if I can:
- Broadway
- The Empire State Building
- Ground Zero
- The Statue of Liberty (maybe just taking pictures from a distance)
- The United Nations
- Central Park
- Times Square
- Rockefeller Center
- The American Museum of Natural History (where they filmed the movie “Night at the Museum”)
- St. Patrick’s Cathedral
- The Metropolitan Museum of Art
New York, here I come!
