A Weekend in New York (Part 2)

I came to a sad realisation today... my tan is gone, and i'm not going to get it back until I go back to South Africa! Now the only way to tell me apart from Americans is my accent and my passport.

As for what i've been doing... well today was a blur. It kinda just happened and i'm not quite sure what I did other than sit in front of the keyboard hacking away at it. Anyway, enough about that. I promised to continue with the weekend I had.

Rockefeller Center

Well on Saturday I also went to the Rockefeller Center. Now I didn't go up to Top of the Rock this time, but I went up a few weeks ago (before I bought my camera :/) and the view is insane! I can't compare it with the Empire State yet because I haven't been up.

The Rockefeller center offers so much more though. There's a myriad of shops and restaurants, Radio City Music Hall, NBC Studios and the Museum of Modern Art is nearby too (on 53rd).

Well, my battery is running low and I left my charger at work, so I'm just going to put some links here and the photo's I took:P Perhaps I can elaborate tomorrow some more.

PhotosImage 1: The center was really busy outside on Saturday. This is a pic of one of the ticket booths outside.

Image 2: Here's an AdWalker. This guy sells tickets on a system strapped to his body. Talk about getting creative. Although, I wonder why he's selling tickets right near the ticket booth!?

Image 3: OK, so here's a perfect example of what makes Rockefeller Center, well, Rockefeller Center. Prometheus and the ice rink. This place has always got people looking over it, or skating on it... even in the week. Oh, and I checked all the flags and didn't see South Africa's:/ I'm not sure which countries got there flags up here or why.

Links

Ok, If you're interested in going up to see Top of the Rock, check out www.topoftherocknyc.com
For more information on the Rockefeller Center, here's a decent link http://www.rockefellercenter.com/home.html. There's a web cam there too.

Apart from that, with 8% battery left, I say cheers till my next post. One last word, thanks to the comments on the last post. Keep em coming. Perhaps I will find some decent theme to follow eventually.
