New York Part 1

Hey Good People,

First of all sorry for writing in so late, was just busy with all the commitments and friends who were down from New York. We were sitting up all night reminiscing about my New York trip, and I thought I should share the same with you.

I had always been fascinated with New York, and I fell in love with the city when Tom Hanks managed to woo Meg Ryan in one of my favourite romantic comedies "You've got mail".

When one thinks of New York, I bet everyone starts thinking of "The statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, The Big Apple and Ground Zero", but do you know wierd as it may sound all I could think of when I boarded the flight was Starbucks. I didnt have a cup of coffee on the flight because I just wanted a cup of joe at Starbucks. When I landed and we went to baggage claim, I kept looking around the airport and to my dismay, not one Starbucks was around. The hype and the entire built up energy around it was starting to drain. Finally we had our luggage and we got out of the airport and what do i see at a distance, Like an oasis to many a travellers plying through a desert, I saw Starbucks. Suddenly I became very aware that I am going to be having a cup of coffee at the famous Starbucks. I started to walk towards it, with a sense of happiness I cannot describe, I started taking long strides, with a little hop over my trolley I started jogging and I guess it must have been like 50 feet to the outlet when I started running and I think i reached Starbucks in 4.75 seconds which is pretty much broke the world record. USAIN BOLT WATCH OUT.

I ordered a cappucino and sat on the table, I dont know what it was but it felt so good, The place lived up to my expectation sadly the coffee didnt, but who cared I was finally at Starbucks.

More later

Love
Hansika
