We took the Subway to Bowling Green to go to The Statue of Liberty. We took a ferry to Staten Island so we could see the statue. On the ferry we took some pictures but it was soooo windy! It was hard to get a picture without hair everywhere. We took the boat back right away. Wies and I went on the front deck and we got totally blown away, literally. It felt like a huge ventilation shaft. We tried to make some more pictures :P but they were a bit weird. Once we got off, we took the subway to Ground Zero. We went into an Amish market (crazy) and then we went to the second floor of the Financial building to see an overview of the construction area where the World Trade Centre once was. It was insane. People were digging under the ground and everything was a mess. It's hard to believe that there were two huge buildings there before.
When we took the Subway to 34th street we were very lucky. We were on the first cabin of the train. We could see the tracks and the tunnels we were going through. It was just like a roller coaster.
Then we walked over to the music building where Ultrasound is also situated and did some more school work. We interviewed a guy from a recording studio and got a small tour trough the rooms. Then we went to a different recording studio and we were amazed. It was the actual studio where Beyonce, Destiny's Child, Missy Elliot, and more huge artist recorded their golden records. Like OMG, freakin' Beyonce! We interviewed a guy there too and filmed it again. Then we went up to the 11th floor to go in the guitar lesson school of NYC. The people in their were very kind. This girl Amy (who we also interviewed) even played a song for us! And we had some cheesecake :p
Before we went back to the hotel, we went to Times Square and we passed Fashion Av. to film some more for our presentation. We did our introduction saying something like: 'We are Eva and Wies and we are on Times Square NYC for our school presentation'. We took the Subway back. In the Subway to Union Square (where we usually get out to go to the hotel) 4 boys started hip-hopping right in front of us this time. They were pretty good, also a bit scary because sometimes they almost hit us XD. I always love to see those shows. It's so cool that these boys can do that, in the Subway!
We still didn't have dinner so we went to McDonald's and had some Big Mac Meals. Then we bought more popcorn and I bought a 'Lipsmacker' (red raspberry taste) and Wies bought some facial mask.
Now we are sitting on the bed watching 'Sing-Off' finals. Pretty cool to see. It's about choirs singing a cappella and competing. Ow, now it's over :( We're gonna watch an other movie now I think.
So that was our 8th day here. xoxo eva
Oh and btw, in Brooklyn, we found a small fake Christmas tree laying on the floor. So we took it to put in our hotel. Yeeeeh! We have a Christmas tree!!! HAHA
Here are some pictures we made:
