They call me the Naked Cowboy

Woke up feeling all warm and snuggly - the heater was blowing comforting air to my face. Still feeling good from the post-effect of The Nutcracker, I got up and started to finish up my blog of last night.

Missed going to the Financial District today since my bro didn't budge until past noon. He stayed up til 7 this morning to finish Full House! I took some picture of his "Mohawk". I think my bro has an interesting face.


Lunch was at Han Bat's, same place where I went for supper. Bro was craving Bibimbap (due to Full House) so I brought him there. It's his first Korean meal in NYC. I feel special. (^_^) We had a whole lot of appetizer and some kind of Korean seafood pancake. He had his Bibimbap of course and I had my Seafood Tofu Soup again. We were stuffed! At the end of the meal, bro was feeling sleepy again. Hah!


I recorded a bunch of guys doing street dancing / break dancing at the Times Sq Subway. They were rather good. There was an Asian amongst them. I thought it was funny. Looks like a Japanese. Short guy. Hah! Am trying to upload it to youtube. Will post the link here when I get it.

The cold was bitter today, making me wince at almost every step. I guess my jeans are not that warm for my legs, eh? Brr!! My back muscles are sore from the combination of walking and violent shivering.

We walked Times Sq again today because there were other places that I didn't get to see the other time. The Lion King Broadway production is going on now at the New Amsterdam Theater.

I am so tempted to watch it but I also want to watch Jersey Boys really badly. I saw them perform at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and they were SO GOOD! The story's abt Frankie Vallie and his band.

At one point where my hands were turning numb and heavy from the cold, my bro went to his beloved Starbucks to get himself a hot drink and I looked up at the sky. I liked what I saw. Do you?


There was this McDonald's with bright lights and I thought it looks fabulous. No other fast foods places that I saw at Times Sq but MacD. Of course, the American icon of Fast Food, right?


I tried to take more pictures of the gigantic electronic billboards, sights and pple. It was quite painful to take pictures since I had no idea of my hands were gripping the camera of not!

Interesting sight of the day:- Naked Cowboy. Not, not completely naked, just down to his briefs. He had a guitar and he was posed with the ladies. I tried to get a picture together but the other more salacious ladies beat me to him. Poor guy! He must have been cold because he started to leave and I bet he was going to get clothes on. Hahaha...I mean come on! It's like bitter cold! I think my parents saw him this summer and they laughed and I bet my mom was embarrassed for him. *grins* That look on her face must have been worth a million dollars! Oh, I wish I could see it.


Popped in to the Times Sq Alliance Building and looked around. They have a free tour every Friday at noon and they take you around and show you what's what in Times Sq. Bro & I even took a digi picture and sent it via email to my parents - compliments of Yahoo! Mail. It was fun.

Random:- Am craving McDonald's. Hmm..weird.

Finally, my bro decided that he could not take the cold anymore and he headed back first. We parted and I went to the greatest toyland on earth - TOYS 'R' US!!! I just love that place! I took more pictures of the inside since the last time I came, my camera had no battery. There is a Ferris wheel in there but no rides for me. Headed to candy central on the 2nd floor and took a picture with Blue M&M.
I was planning to make out with it but I decided to keep it clean for the sake of the kiddies everywhere. (^___^) The Lego structure of Empire State Building, complete with King Kong look quite real from a distance. I almost mistook the Tyrannosaurus from Jurassic Park to be made from Lego too. When it started to move and roar, I realized I was wrong. Bad Dino, bad, bad Dino!



Headed back after my toy euphoria & got a shish kebab on my way to the subway. Nice vendor. he let me take a picture of him and the stall.

I think i am hungry enough now to eat. Oh man..chinese take out again huh? Oh well!

  • I wonder how they taste like..sweet & salty! Do you think the potato chips are still crunchy?

    Korean is always best when it is freezing outside and you are indoors eating something spicy. Yummy oh!
