I never meant to make you cry, but tonight i'm cleanin' out my camera...

I know I'm (mis)quoting Eminem, deal with it. He makes me run faster.

Anyway, I decided I need to put up some pictures of where I've been recently. We have here Paris, Seattle, San Francisco, Miami, China, and of course New York City!

Need to procrastinate from Organic Chem studying before it dominates my life...

So here's Notre Dame in Paris last spring break... gorgeous. We ended up camping out one night on the river banks right across the river with bottles of vodka and tequila and totally partying it up... like stupid Americans always do :)

The Gum Wall In Seattle, home of the Market Theater.  If you look closely, you'll see that the entire mosaic look on the wall is due to thousands of chewed gum stuck haphazardly onto the walls. Disgusting really, but undeniably cool. Went to a couple of shows there at night...

Fremont (Seattle) Solstice Parade!!! See the beautiful floats (bottom) and the nude bicyclists (top). Yes. That says NUDE bicyclists. Yeah go Seattle.

A little further to the south, in "Sunny" California

This is the view from my hotel in San Francisco, into Japantown. Yup. it's that foggy...

Leaving that cold foggy land, we hit the beautiful Kingdom of Heaven... or Chengdu, China

Chengdu, China. This is supposedly the well in which Ah Dou Drowned himself. Probably not really, considering how new it looks... but there are other cool stuff that really are thousands of years old, like:

... this, at the Jinsha Site (Golden Sands), estimated to be about 3,000 years old. Thought to be used in place of blood sacrifices in religious ceremonies.

... and this dude, forgot what he's supposed to be doing. But he's couple hundred years old (circa 700 AD?)

... and who can forget the temples. This is Wen Shu Yuan (Wen Shu Temple) in Chengdu. Gorgeous, no?

Anyway, fast forward a couple of months, here's Spring Break 2010:

The view of Miami from my Organic Chemistry book, courtesy of my dear professor Maitland Jones Jr. Don't worry, we partied it up, but those pictures can't go on here...

However, South Beach was beautiful, hot and amazing...

But back to NYC, where life isn't so grand right now.... Here is Washington Square Park, before renovations... Took this when I was a Freshman:

Notice how the fountain does not line up with Fifth Ave. Reason why they tore the whole thing out and redid the park...

Right outside the UN, I thought I'd shoot a couple of tourists for kicks.

The beautiful flags of nations... outside UN...

And the United Nations itself... well, sort of... I couldn't jam the top half into the camera.

New York City Chinatown!!!

Docks of Battery Park...

STATUE....s... of Liberty? I guess she got lonely... kidding. Here's the REAL DEAL:

Fast forward to here and now... 

my view everyday as of last week is something like this:

The inside of NYU Bobst Library, looking up from the lobby. 

Yep, I've spent way to much time here recently...
