Summer Vacation: New York :D

Hey guys! Long time no blog :P I've been my usual lazy self and I haven't really caught up with my blogging. But anyways~
I'm in New York again! If you didn't realize from the title :3 And this time, I've been training a lot for fencing.  I've been training and actually both NJ and NY, and both are really helpful. But I've seriously been worked to the bone, and I'm looking forward to my true vacation in Asia (we're going to Korea and China after NY).
We've done a lot of things here. We ate this AMAZING FOOD cuz that's what New York is all about. X3 There's this super good food place in the middle of Manhattan that is freakin expensive but sells REALLY yummy yakitori. At least, I think that that is what the food was called. My parents bought some thirty-something dollar sake also. Also, at Central Park, there's this insanely yummy waffle cart with the BEST toppings, called "dinges". It both sounds and tastes yummy. X3 And in New Jersey, we ate at this Veggie Haven place which had a bunch of Asian meat dishes that were all vegan. The vegan cheesecake was also super delicious :D I actually have a couple of pictures, but I'm too lazy to upload them.
But the best part of going to New York was the Broadway shows. Oh my god. They are the most amazingest bestest things ever. XD We watched Wicked and Lion King. I personally thought that Wicked had better singing, but Lion King was much more...visually enhanced, I guess. The people acting as animals had these masks and costumes and stuff and it was really cool :D And it was fun and easy to follow the plot. I have to say though that I liked Wicked better. I think that it had a much more complex plot, and there were many deep and meaningful points and themes throughout the entire show. Plus, Glinda (aka Guh-linda, with a silent "G" XD ) was just so funny. And the singers were AMAZING. I seriously do not regret getting the Wicked CD. Though I personally liked the new singers live than the old singers on a CD.
Unfortunately, I don't have pics of the shows I went to either, cuz its not allowed. I do have pictures of the sets the shows were on, though I am too lazy to upload those as well. Maybe later XD
