Statue of Liberty

Don't you feel inspired? haa

Took a ferry to visit the statue of liberty. Whoa, pretty magnificent. This is the icon of New York. The trip to take a ferry would require us to walk along Battery City Park. I can't help but to notice that New Yorkers are pretty lonely people. Most of the time they are just seating by themselves, either having their lunch or reading a book. Perhaps this is how life is all about in a metropolitan. Busy, lonely and impersonal. Kinda sad especially when everything seems so fleeting in this city. Perhaps this is also one reason why so many of the people here have dogs. To ease their lonely hearts or perhaps dogs are really their only faithful friend around.

The Famous Brooklyn Bridge

This dog is damn funny la.. His name is Sparky

Dogs here are pretty vain especially the one above. He actually posed for me. When I walk off, he barked and posed again for me. Hahaha, Sparky likes to take pictures according to the owners. Just to digress abit, Sparky's owner is officially the 10th person to think that I am a Japanese. Best part is, they assume that I am one without even asking for my nationality. Some chinese lady also thought that I am a Japanese and she was shocked that I replied to her in chinese. Haiz, whatever..

Ok I am being mean here..but hey, I am suffering from retribution now
