Simon Says: Hanging out with tourist ain’t so bad.
My brother and a really big group of his friends came to the city to watch George Takei’s musical “Allegiance” on Broadway. I woke up at 9:40ish and got ready by 11 to start walking to Bryant park. I was honestly expecting maybe him and 4 other people, nope it was a full bus of them. I’m not really good at introducing me, so my brother was like “Hey everyone! This is my brother Simon, say Hi” and I just waved and said “Hi.” Such an A+ introduction.
We all split off into different groups, some went to go to Puff Cha Ramen, and some went with my brother and I to Cafe Zaiya in Kinokuniya. The food was really well made and delicious! I got to meet some of my brothers friends, one saying how nice and great he is... probably because he has only known him for a couple of months, there’s no way. But there was this girl in the group, it was her first time in New York City. I could think of a million things for her to go to, but she only had two hours before she would have to see the show, then get dinner and catch the bus ride home. Its a shame, at least she had the opportunity to see Times Square in person, I was envious of how much in awe she was for seeing it. It seems really hard for us, especially living in New York, to experience such awe. I feel like we take it for granted and I should really stop and appreciate how great it is to live in the city.
