Waky-Waky BELO!!!
We needed more than a cup of coffee to start a new day in NYC, so what about Lady Liberty?
After a not that long of a ride on the bus, the BELO heroes went through the security and got on a boat. Final destination? That Lady Liberty! Looking pretty good and big! We were all a little tired from the other big day we had but had NYC to wake us up. After we hoped back on the boat and headed towards the city’s skyline. Our BELO heroes got off the b oat and headed to the subway station! We rode the subway which was extremely fast and full of New Yorkers! Our stop to get off was one of the most filmed stations in the world, Grand Central Station. We had no idea what to expect, I mean, it’s huge! A food court with every kind of food from all over the world, and the real melting pot! And what about the Apple store? face book time!!
As Jay - Z says, in New York there’s nothing you can’t do, other than being yourself, that’s what New York is about, I learned. As we were waiting for “Fabulous”, something funny happened! An old guy, dressed in a crazy pink outfit, on a pink bike approached us… hilarious moment and guess what? Picture time!! You never know what to expect in NYC, that’s for sure. But the day was not already over. Party time? Not yet. Our BELO heroes wanted to make a significant change…..United Nations here we come! Not fully satisfied by a whole year in a different country, we wanted to be even more international and discover that place that we only see on TV.
After the audio tour of the united nations, our amazing coordinators gave us the best news ever…it’s time for some crazy shopping in Soho! Mission impossible accomplished. How many stores can you enter in less than two hours?
(you guys have no idea of how much our Italian friends will be jealous of our new bags! JK)
After shopping our butts off we were ready to have dinner in Chinatown. Even if the smell of fish was really strong, we had an amazing time at the Chinese restaurant, eating with chopsticks (well, trying to at least) and watching our monitor, Alex(who is awesome) dropping rice everywhere.
After the end of WWIII with the food, we couldn’t just stop laughing because our friend Christian from Chile almost fell into the garbage! But luckily he didn’t, but it’s a very funny moment that I will never forget.
During the ride back home and after Tici’s amazing singing performance, everyone enjoyed their times in different ways. Laughing, playing around, singing, dancing and sleeping. Tired but happy, our heroes finally arrived at the hotel and “chillaxed” before going to bed.
Sooo ready for our last day in New York City….WOOOP WOOOP!!
