We arrived in Newark Internatinal Airport in the evening, so we didn't visit any place on the 1st day.
It is a freezing night, Flora and me were running to nearby supermarket for grocery. We got the Mc Donald burger, chips, coke and so on. After dinner, we were chatting in May's room.
21 April 2008 ==> 2nd day - New York, USA
Affectionately referred to as the " Big Apple", i think New York is about more than that famous lady with the torch.
Manhattan.................we are on the way!!!
Staten Island Ferry (USD12) provides stunning views of the cosmopolitan city and the colossal Statue of Liberty.
getting closer n closer to the most recognizable icons of the US - Statue of Liberty.....Statue was presented to the United States by the people of France in October 28, 1886 to commemorates the centennial of the signing of the US declaration of independence and is a gesture of friendship from France to the United States.
there was many seagulls were flying around.
Don't you ever think this is similiar to blossom cherry ( Sakura ) ??????
The statue is of a robed woman holding a torch, and is made of a sheeting of pure copper, hung on a framework of steel (originally puddled iron) with the exception of the flame of the torch, which is coated in gold leaf (originally made of copper and later altered to hold glass panes.) It stands atop a rectangular stonework pedestal with a foundation in the shape of an irregular eleven-pointed star. The statue is 151 ft (46 m) tall, but with the pedestal and foundation, it is 305 ft (93 m) tall.
omg, winter jacket save me in the freezing day !!
Eugene Viollet-le-Duc was responsible for the choice of copper in the statue's construction and adoption of the repousse technique, where a malleable metal is hammered on the reverse side 
Every single part of the Statue is meaningful^^ = knowledge, freedom.....
The internal structure of Statue was engineered by Maurice Koechlin ( Chief Engineer of Gustave Eiffel's engineering company and designer of the Eiffel Tower).
We had seen the Ellis Island but .............not from this angle!

The Empire State Building is owned and managed by W&H Properties, a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in New York City at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street.
No doubt to have my all time favourite meal ** KFC ** as lunch.
The city is so called "The City That Never Sleeps", most probably due to its extensive 24-hour subway system and constant bustling of traffic and people.
yahoo......eventually found Hard Rock Cafe pin.
Times Square is is a major intersection in Manhattan, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. Its principally defined by its animated. digital advertisement and become a symbol of its city.

It stood as the world's tallest building for more than forty years, from its completion in 1931 until construction of the World Trade Center's North Tower was completed in 1972. It became the tallest building in NYC and New York State after the destruction of the WTC in 2001.
But it only recalled me the " King Kong" movie!!! hahaha....
