NY, NY: Vlog it Out

In many ways, my 3.5 month stay at the Kasteel has helped me with a lot of life skills. I've learned how to ask for things in different countries even though I didn't know the language. I've learned that sometimes you just have to try that food item that looks disgusting, because it might actually turn out to be very delicious. But one of the most important things I've learned is how to fit a lot of activities into a small amount of time. For example, my friends and I went to London for 4 days, and there is A LOT to do there, that many people take at least a week to do. But due to our time constraints, we managed to do all the normal tourist-y sightseeing things AND plan in travel time. I mean we went through the Tate Modern in approx an hour.

So that being said, my 24 hour excursion to NYC this past weekend was like nothing compared to my weekend trips in Europe.

Devin, fellow co-worker Jonathan, and I hopped on a bus at 10:30pm on a Friday night and arrive in NYC at 2:30am. Our main purpose for the trip was to see the Broadway revival of Guys & Dolls, featuring the one, the only, my favorite actress of all time, Lauren Graham (of Gilmore Girls fame). Basically our 24 hours consisted of 4 hours of beauty sleep in a semi sketchy hotel, waiting in line for about 2 hours for tickets, roaming times square, seeing an awesome show, and meeting the person who I really feel I could be best friends with if I just had more time with her.

To commemorate this trip, we decided to put together a Vlog for you the readers, yes all 10 of you, so you could get a better idea of what it was like.

Enjoy!
