Staten Island Ferry → Castle Clinton/Battery Park → National Museum of American Indian (Day 5, Part 1 ends here.)

→ Bowling Green → Charging Bull on Wall Street → Wall Street → World Financial Center

 

I started this day quite late in the morning. Missed the bus to the train station, and was tired out due to wandering around the city on the previous day. Since I arrived Manhatten around 11:30AM, plans for wandering around needed to alter a bit. I took Red #1 Subway to

Today's plan:

Lower East Side (for the free historic tour) → Times Square Visitor Center (for laying my hands on more information and coupons)

 (The free historic tour is a definite go-for to understand to history of Lower East Side.)

The train station at Hicksville, NY, where I started my day during my stay in NY.

Today's schedule: a day in the city with my aunt, uncle and 2 cousins. 

The Highline → Chelsea Market → Flushing Meadow Park

It's always great to visit relatives that lost contact for a long time. I'm very grateful for their hospitality and sparing their time to show me around.

After hours of flight from Vancouver, finally have my first sight of New York. If I am not mistaken, the flight flew over Long Island and the Statue of Liberty, finally landed on US soil at 9:30 AM on 30 Sept, 2011. But it's not untill 10:30AM that I was cleared out of the custom. Seriosly, I do feel like to be a Canadian at the moment since the officers would just put Canandian citizens in a different line, and they just passed through much faster.

Booked flights of Cathy Pacific, and was planning to leave for New York around 19:30.

Unfortunately due to the typhoon in Hong Kong, flights were changed and delayed for more than 2hrs. 

Luckily, I did make it to JFK on 9AM on 30 Sept, 2011.

Flight route: Taipei → Hong Kong → YVR (Vancouver International Airport) → JFK (New York, USA)

People to thank for:

My cousin, Mei, who is super nice and offered me a room on her Long Island house for staying temporarily, went all the way to pick me up from the airport and sent me off too.

My aunt and her family, who are really considerate and showed me around during weekends.

I'm really grateful that I have all the relatives to rely on, and would love to send big hugs for everyone.

Now, here are resources used and gathered before and during the trip!
