So i went to Philadelphia over the weekend.. well technically it was friday-monday
I was to meet two of my friends (i met in Miami August 2007 and have been friends ever since).
The first day was in Philly, making Chicken Karahi and Chai at B`s place. B is into movies like me so he decides to show me and M a movie. We went to his college at night just to find the auditorium full of Chinese students watching an animated movie so we move to another auditorium which was also filled with ... yeh Chinese students... so we tried our luck at the library showing them our university ids and they let us in yeh... we goofed around in the library .. took some silly photos, found some books in Urdu (well it was an american university). Then i came up with a brilliant idea to book a group study room and watch the movie there... so we watched the movie in one of those.. made plans for next morning`s NYC visit, booked bus tickets
The next morning..our bad luck .. NYC was freezing cold .. -11 degree and chilly freezing winds
after every half hour of walking we had to go inside some building and defrost our selves. I finally got to see the empire state building, rockerfeller centre and then the new year`s ball at display in Macy`s. Had chai at a desi restaurant
At a shop M was looking for some Vitamin water and i saw this Power drink and i said "M---- power le lo" and the shop keeper was deprived or frustrated repeated after me "M---- power le lo" hehehe.. only in NYC will this happen so we went crazy laughing...
at luch time we bought chicken over rice from my cousin`s recommended cart on 53rd and 6th avenue and then realized that we can`t eat out side it was so freaking cold.. So another brilliant idea stroke me .. and we went inside the subway station and sat on the stairs there and ate :)
Next day was for Franklin Mills mall .. crazy crazy shopping... cheap watches i got there :)
then at night dinner at a Pakistani restaurant (haleem,kababs,biryani,nihari,korma and nans) ...
then B`s movie watching worm was bothering him so we watched another movie
next day was back to reality...
the trip was one hell of an experience.. especially the smell in the china town bus
