The hustle and bustle of New York City

Just a while ago, Singaporeans are voted one of the world's fastest walkers due to their hurried lives and stressful lifestyle.

However in NYC, I guess they are either hurrying to party the night away or to catch the 8pm Broadway show. I managed to experience this insane moment in NYC's Time Square- which is like 5 times Singapore's Orchard Road during GSS but now with crazy lights and even crazier New Yorkers.

NYC is so not part of the "Save the earth" plan where even in the day; the billboard lights still flashes constantly. But in the night, the lights are really beautiful.


Even their Macdonald's must be part of the lighting parade to fit in.



Times Sq has the most amazing stores and the M&M's store is one which I really enjoyed myself in it. It is like a M&M Disneyland on its own.

They sell all kind of stuff inside and what really intrigues me is their wide range of M&M's chocolate candy. It has more hues and shades than any other painter’s palette and they even had many interesting mixes. You can see the delight on everyone's faces as they filled up little plastic bags in every single colour of M&M's possible.





Ironically, opposite the M&M's store is the Hershey's store where Hershey's chocolates are sold in special packaging and sizes. The aroma is mind-boggling but due to my strict budget constraints, I can only enter to whiff and feed on the "scent".



#2: The famous Broadway street has many theatres and each single one airs a different musical at 8pm every single night. It is a one of those must-have experiences to go for a Broadway muscial while you are in New York City. Each theatre has their strong historical value where many are made famous by acclaimed musicals. Their interiors are lined with chandeliers and each sits about 400 viewers. Thanks to others' recommendations, I managed to get half-price tickets and can only say that every cent is worth this good experience.
