flushing meadows-corona park
On one of my last few days in New York, i made a visit to Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens..... having written down a list called "the 'endless' list of the places to go before I leave". Of course, i never even came close to fufilling that list (which included The cloisters, Prospect park, brooklyn museum, anywhere in the bronx so i could at least say i stepped foot inside the bronx...=P....etc..), anyways the park was on that list.
The place was empty, pretty much no one in sight..(was friggin freezing)...except for this middle aged caucasian guy jogging around the unisphere....asked him to take a photo with me in it...he was sorta reluctant...but after a bit of convicing that itd be quick...he took the camera. The guy really couldn't take a clear picture......and apparently couldn't even speak english, not being able to understand my instructions.."just half click...then push down", "can you come a bit closer?", man!!...oh well i gave up after a few tries...and he tells me "sorry, im little bit blind" and just walks away...hm...oh...
Aaaaaaaanyways....the unisphere is pretty cool...140 feet high and the "world's largest global structure". So I starred at it.....snapped pictures of it....circled it a few times.....thought about the countries/continents as I circled around.....
USA: (looking specifically at where nyc is)...yay for being in NyC!
Africa: so much shit going on there....
Australia: so weird how i go travel half a world away to new york, to japan, to switzerland....but i can't be bothered taking a three/four hour flight to sydney or gold coast or something....heck my father lives there too!...your next to be tackled big brother!
New Zealand: ohhhh there you are....lil' old new zealand tucked all the way down there...why can't you be more central huh!? huh!?.......miss ya tho...honest!
I soon came to be aware that my feet was burning numb....and i couldn't feel my hands....TIME TO GO!....=)
