Statue of Liberty

Must go in NYC of course...but didn't think of going until my fd had extra tickets to Liberty Island (where the Statue sits).

自由神像....在遠方迷濛



















Close up...from the front



















The back



















Ellis Island..in the 1800s all immigrants from Europe must go through the building on this island to determine whether they are allowed into America (most of them would pass; less than 2% gets sent back)















Getting off the boat to Ellis Island..just like the people 200 years ago.














Baggage claim...haha














Waiting hall..














The "Judgement" room...where the US immigration determine certain questionable people can enter into the US.















Other exhibits in the building (don't ask why)...Barbies of the World




















Note what the guy is saying..















Finally....heading back to Manhattan

Atlantic City

Really need to catch up with my photos.

Atlantic City....a must go given who I am, haha. Definitely not as popular as Las Vegas. In fact it does feel kinda old and dead. I was there on Independence Day and as u can see, it's not very crowded on what is suppose to be one of the biggest US holidays.

The famous Boardwalk....






























Caesar's Palace















Shopping was more attractive than gambling





























戰利品...hahaha

New York Mets at Citifield

Finally...gone to a baseball game in NY. The Mets at Citifield















The outside














The inside





























What's the chance: Mets play the Twins, and the Twins starting pitcher was the same one as the game I watched in Toronto: KEVIN SLOWEY















Game action















Concession (again...the famous Nathan's hotdogs)




























Mr Met..the official mascot














Getting bored? Watch airplanes take off from LaGuardia






































Game over
