Photographic evidence that the 2 Tines occupied the same city for 8 days A.K.A More photos from NYC

2 nights ago, Tine2 whined about the lack of photographic evidence on my blog that the 2 Tines occupied the same city (and apartment!)for 8 days. I have been working some very enjoyable 14hr days lately so photograph editing took a bit of a back seat. In any event, here are more photos from our trip to New York, New York.

Did you know that you can't get cellphone signal inside New York trains? This provided exciting times for us when we tried to arrange to meet up with people whilst travelling to and from places. We did, however, manage to find Labbit in the end and she took us to a ghetto Target where her and Tine2 proceeded to bully me into buying a leopard print, kitty eared beanie. The we went to Applebees for lunch cos we're so klassy.

Tine2 and laaaabiiit:

Then we found Domo inside Bloomingdales(?!)! and after I made them go in to every F21 in the city we finally settled for a dinner of Korean BBQ. I have never seen so much banchan in my life.

We had dim sum the next day where we proceeded to throw peace signs, take photos and fight over the bill like good fobs.

Then I dragged Tine2 to the Museum of Natural History with me where I proceeded to make excited squealing sounds over every fossil. Look!! it's Tyrannosaurus Rex! EEEEEEEeeeee!

My favourite nurse standing next to my favourite dinosaur. Yes I have a favourite dinosaur and no my favourite FRIEND was not Ross!

In a hallway filled with rat and bird carcasses (creepy) we found this lil guy. I <3 opossums!

The infamous blue whale!! He is humongous and it was so hard trying to take a photo of him!

Hahah I thought this toy looks like my cat Munchie xD

Rockafeller Center

Do you think he's trying to make up for the size of something else?

St. Patrick's Cathedral. Tine2 and I both took photos of this place cos our mothers kept asking if there are (Catholic) churches in New York City. Yes there are surprisingly lots of them.

I will still insistently call it "mot-chi" xD

More Shake Shack! Delicious Shake Shack! See how the receipt says "Justine" even though I ordered under "Christine"? This was further evidence that Justine and I are the same person xD

This was before she discovered that her sausage burger was buried under a mountain of sauerkraut

Said sauerkraut mountain:

Laabbit wearing her cat dress and throwing fob signs:

Grand Central Station. There was a surprising lack of flash mobs happening.

We did find this snazzily dressed fellow though:

I whinged and whined until everyone went with me to Braai for dinner. Braai is an Afrikaans (South African Dutch) word for barbecue. Our server was from Soweto and we spoke in clicks.

Our one and only complete group photo:

My biryani(a kind of spicy stew on rice)was freaking awesome!

Koeksusters and Malva pudding:

I taught everyone the Taiwanese way of posing for sticker photos:

Note how Laabbit and I have the same cat dress but in reverse colours. Yes we are crazy cat ladies are we are proud.

Domo said this pose is called "The Starfish" and "The Jellyfish" combined.

As you can see, my obsession with the nudie bars of Time Square was still going strong:

Next installment of photos will contain Justine's birthday and our "we're too cheap so we're just gonna stay on the ferry" visit to the Statue of Liberty!

NYC

In the 45mins before this photo was taken I was:
a. stuck on the tarmac for 20mins because there was no available gate for the plane to dock;
b. running from the arrival gate to collect my luggage which did not appear for another 15mins;
c. going through US customs behind a bunch of passengers from the Middle East;
d. running from US customs, dropping off my luggage, and going through airport security;
e. running from airport security to the boarding gates breaking my sandals in the process; or
f. all of the above.

Our first meal in NYC with Labbit and Domo. Do not underestimate this pizza for it cost me $25 T.T

Domo claimed that the pizzas were too big for her Domozilla stomach. She thought she'd be smart and order a panini instead. When the panini arrived it was 2x the size of her head.

We visited Labbit's work place where we acquired books with Not Suitable For Life content.

We went into a CVS located inside an old bank. It was odd to say the least.

We acquired wing rings from Accessorize and formed the Wing Ring Club.

I made Tine2 go with me to the Museum of Natural History. We got charged student admission and Tine2 rolled her eyes a lot when I pointed and squealed at every dinosaur fossil. BTW that is the fossil of a Deinonychus - what Mr. Spielberg tried to pass off as a Velociraptor.

I think that little guy in the front is totally giving me Pucky face.

Because Springboks, Kudus and Wildebeest roam in my back yard.

Sushi in NYC.

Mr. Jobs passed away the second day we were in NYC. iSad.

Shake Shack Burger!!! Twas delicious!!!

Crazy Labbit eating her chips dipped in ice cream.

I was amused by the number of strip joints and sex shops in the Time Square area. A number of these establishments advertised "peep shows" involving "real girls" and a few of those had job offer signs. I was sorely tempted to walk in and ask how much did they pay and what did the work entail.

Domo presented us with 2 bottles of O Positives. They were extremely yummy. I subsequently lugged the empty bottle home much to the confusion of the airport screening people!

The temperature hit 30C for the last few days we were there. This resulted in numerous pit stops for bubble tea and froyo.

A very ironic shop placement. (For those who don't know, Jenny Craig is a celebrity endorsed weight loss program)

All Tine2 wanted to do on her birthday was visit MUJI. She wants it to be known that she almost fell to her death and became alligator feed taking this photo.

Tine2's birthday cakes from Tine1.

Our dinner from Wholepaychequefoods.

The "poof" is alive and well.

I got assaulted by 2 check patterned peacoat wearing neighbours inside Zara.

Our taxi would inevitably pull up next to taxis carrying signage like the above.

Proving how much of a cat lady I am, I made friends with the neighbourhood kittehs.

My last meal in NYC - Lobster roll from Chelsea Market. Omg it was so good!!

I took the above photo at Newark airport to remind Domo that she needs to send me cupcakes.
