Wow... that's some snow.. and the journey begins...

woke up this morning just to find that snow are getting into my room through the tiny slit of my window which i left opened.... damn... it wet my bed...

and to my finding... there's more than 1 feet of snow accumulated on the ground... and it was still snowing heavily.... very heavily....

went out to took some pictures and some videos....

then, i had my breakfast... and i'm ready to start my 11-day trip to NYC and Washington DC....

the snow has caused some delay on the bus ride to the airport... but fortunately, not the flight...

the check-in is really fast... and it is a self check in thingy... just use a credit card for id purposes... then, check our luggage.. and we(Kai and I) are free to walk around until the time to board the flight....

we arrived at LaGuardia Airport at about 3.45pm.... collected our luggages... and asked for directions and we were on our way to Hostelling International New York City.... a really nice hostel.... great location and sorta affordable price...

we arrived there at about half past 5pm... it was drizzling... we checked in, got our room, happy with it... and went to Subway to grab a quick bite... then, we headed to TimesSquare....

and once we stepped out of the subway station.... WOW.... the neon lightings and the gigantic screens which cover 10 of storeys of buildings are so bright and the effect is so great to take it all in for the very first sight...

we walked around and around...aimlessly in the light rain...took shots after shots in front of the infamous Broadway and 7th avenue cross junction...

after about 3 hours of walking.. we decided to get back to the hostel...and coincidentally, met our other friends at the hostel...

great....
