I really enjoy the versatility of NYC. There’s always something to do! There’s also a ton of great foods to eat and great sites to see.

Also, I’ll never get tired of the subway.

I am no cook. I can usually cook up a tasty meal, so long as there is a central piece to it, ie:meat, poultry, or seafood. I’m not really fond of meat or poultry as a whole, and I find I cook way too much of them when I do, and I really hate leftovers as well. I could eat seafood every day of the week, but that can get a bit pricey. So I’d like to learn more veggie dishes. Usually when I have to meat, I’ll just make a bunch of appetizers/side dishes, which are really good too, but I’d like to make some good veggie meals as well.

I’m half chinese, and I feel I should be able to speak chinese. I’d like to be able to communicate with my chinese side of the family without my father acting as translator. My boyfriend speaks more chinese than I do (he’s no where near Chinese), and he’s helping me learn some phrases. The trouble is, my boyfriend speaks Mandarin, and my family speaks Cantonese… so I’ve found this cool pad you can write on in chinese, and it comes up on your screen. It’s helping me learn characters through the novelty of seeing brush strokes on my screen. It also reads the characters and puts them in chinese (pretty accurate) and tells you how to say them! It’s fun, which is what I need to get me to re-learn the Chinese I refused to remember as a child.
