New York 12 Dec

New York 12 Dec - I woke up around 10am and updated my blog and pics from yesterday visits. After browsing the net, i've been informed that the last elevator going up to Empire State Building is at 1.15pm. So i'm a bit in a rush and managed to sneak in at 1.10pm. The entrance fee is 19USD but in order to go to the highest peak (102nd floor observatory level) will cost u extra USD15. The building is under construction at 80th floor where at this level pic was taken for memoir and map plus audio tour can be purchased at USD12. I've then take another lift to level 86th floor to see the view of New York.

Here, there is not much room for visitor to view the scenery and a bit windy at this point so it can get easily cold up here. I managed to take a few snapshot while a lot of people doing so with not much room to take into account. There is also gift shop up here for people to buy. I then slip up to 102nd floor, the highest peak of the Empire State Building.

At this level the space is not that much but it is reasonable since not many people who are willing to pay extra to get up here. Since the peak is a closed area, u could take ur time to see the whole view of NY city without worrying the breeze of the cold wind. If i want to compare the peak of Eiffel Tower i've visited back in 1999, it is bigger space there in Paris.

After that, i walk to 5oth St and 5th Av to Rockefellar Center where people gather for ice skating experience. I stopped by at National Library and took some pics. At the Rockfellar, a lot of people taking pics because of nice scenery and the Christmas Tree and we could here christmas song all over the place. I then bump to NBC building where i took the Tour to go behind the scene in NBC studio. Macam David Letterman and Jay Leno Show. It will cost u around 18.50USD and the tour took u around 1 hour plus. Sadly, i couldn't take pics inside the studio because it is a restrictive area. The best part of the tour is u have the opportunity to go Live on camera being the anchor man of the news or the weather man..hehe..pretty fun

Next, Bal give me a call to meet him near his office because couple of his friend wanna meet up at his house to pick up some stuff because Bal is moving away..Opps..if u guys didn't know, Bal is moving to Bermuda for 1 year work posting. Bal will be coming back to Msia for a brief vacation sumwhere in Jan 14th. So, it's the chance for him to taste the roticanai and tose before going to Bermuda.

Later in the night, Bal cooked steak for us and Yati join us later around 8pm. after coming back from work. We then watched Haru Biru sent from Memet but we got confused with the storyline thoguh Bal like the camera settings. Bal passed me some money for me to buy Broadway show ticket for tomorrow at Times Sq so we'll be watching around 8pm.

Till then, ola!
