Indescrible. God's creation!

Cho, Teresa and me went on a 2 day 1 night trip to Niagara Falls. We went through a Chinatown tour company. We woke up at 6:00 something am and packed/washed up and headed to Chinatown in the gloomy gray weather. At 8:30 something- we three went on board the number 2 bus with a bunch of strangers and headed over on our LONG journey to Niagara. We got to the falls at 6 pm- but during that process, there were talks, naps, and watching movie. Time passed by fast.

Then we headed to Maid of Mist- I was kind of bummed out that we were on the American falls side and we only could see the American falls...but the Maid of Mist boat also went to the Canadian falls (the real big spectacular one) and our boat got SOOO close that i was getting a bit scared. and our boat driver actually turned us RADICALLY and i was on the side where i almost felt like i was gonna fall into the middle of the falls...where they met...it was slightly scary moment...but there were a lot of ppl on the boat and it was fun.

After that we went to Chinese buffet- i haven't had Chinese buffet in SOOOooo Long. ahahhaa. it was the same- so much food, so much MSG, so fun :) after that we headed to the Cave of the Winds. By this time it was already almost 9 pm but we went and it was SOOOO freakin amazing...we went from the bottom of the falls and climbed to the point where we were actually right underneath a fall.....we 3 stood there for 30 minutes- my glasses and everything was getting soaking wet even with the poncho on. it was so worth it....it felt refreshing and cleansing. After that we went to the top of the Canadian falls and took photos and watched the beautiful light affects. We made a new Korean friend. He was so cute- as a brother type! but he brought only a paper bag of his stuff and spoke very little English- but was very joyful and friendly. we also got to know 3 people from China that were studying in New York. One of them was quite difficult because he kept on bringing the whole China/Taiwan thing. There was a point where i started to get ticked and irritated and tears of anger kind of dropped...which hasn't happen in a while...but everything turned out ok and we are friends.

Then we went back to sleep- i fell asleep watching parental control on MTV. i haven't watched cable TV in so long....so i was like "i'm going to watch!" and then fell asleep on the bed with the remote control on my hands..hahhaa. the hotel was nicer then i expected! we had a hair dryer (hallelujah) so i got to take a full shower.

the next day we went to Corning Glass Museum in the middle of nowhere. It was amazing because in the middle of nowhere- there was this awesome glass museum that sorta looked like MoMA. :) and then afterwards we went to another Chinese buffet- this time we talked to another guy who was traveling by himself and our beloved tour guide. omg. our tour guide was so awesome. she had to say everything in 3 languages (english, mandarin, Cantonese) and she was such a funny person- she would tell ppl to call her "mei mei" or "honey" and she would randomly stop and laugh ....reminded me of an anime character. it was fun getting to know her

then we got back to new york at 6:30 pm.

i'm heading to DC in 2 weeks for another awesome awesome conference...can't wait.
