New York Tidbits
So.
I've been walking all over New York City at medium great distances, but due to much back-and-forth-ness the medium great becomes great, and although the sun was UNBEARABLY SIZZLING THE MEAT TO MY BONES, it was nice going around the city and getting more and more accustomed to where the heck I am.
I didn't really think about writing anything until some small funny things happened and I felt I should take note in written word. Maybe it'll start accumulating. It is New York after all =)
So a couple days back when my brother, mom and I were walking near the SoHo area, we passed by Hollister and there were two male models standing at the door wearing hawaiian trunks and sunglasses (eyecandy) and people were taking pictures and what. And as we were passing by, my brother and I noticed some Asian guy sporting a backpack and a map and walking up to one of the models asking for directions.
We laughed.
"Dude, I just work here." Is what we supposed it would sound like. Hey, maybe the guy does know directions. But the image was still hilarious.
Today I was walking towards Union Square and there was a sort of geeky lookin' guy who looked at me with his hands on his hips and he narrowed his eyes at me and asked, "Are you friendly?"
Now, I did have the intense urge to say "Why yes I am" but then I was like hmm why ever would he need to know if I'm friendly or not? What if it's a trap? Should I resume to my usual "I don't speak English" cover? Unfortunately I pondered too long as I stifled a smile, not stopping my walk as I passed by, giving him a funny look when he just said,
"Oh alright, just keep walking. You're not 21 are you?" Asked in the sense that he is not sure if I am 21 or not instead of knowing but asking.
I shook my head.
So I basically never said a thing the entire time, I was still in the safe for "I may not speak your language, sir".
But he looked funny I kind of wish I said something LOL.
...How does asking if I'm friendly connect to me needing to be 21 as well?
SO FISHY HAHAHA.
Then as I was finally actually reaching Union Square, I saw a dude pass by me and he was drinking Jamba Juice. I love Jamba Juice it is fruity and healthy and delicious. I was thinking mmmmm healthy fruit juice.
And then he took a drag from the cigarette in his other hand.
"Now that's just wrong."
