Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Seven)

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the last few weeks I've shared all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is a seven part series, a post for each day, plus I'll add the last day to this since it was kinda dull. Sunday was amazing and here's why:

Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Seven)

Sunday was possibly my second favourite day (after broadway of course) since this was the day we went to the Central Park Zoo. I love a zoo and this one was particularly fun. Pretty much the whole day was the zoo.

Rather than describe it all, I’m just gonna show you all these cool pics :
a terrible picture of a snow monkey

i like penguins
 And some more animals which I can't entirely remember what they all are:







RED PANDA IS CUTE
Here's some shockingly bad pics of me making frens and enjoying the art outside the penguin enclosure:





And some videos:



 We had another walk through central park after, where we spent about half an hour trying to get a picture with Balto, because kids have no respect and kept jumping on him and not waiting for other people to have their turn. I was getting irate and annoyed with the kids, and it took at least three different attempts to get this picture :
It was a super fun day seeing all the animals and walking through the park. It’s expensive but it’s worth it. compared to the Barcelona Zoo, which is 20€ in the middle of their big park, the Central Park Zoo’s $20 fee is much more justified because it’s bigger and they have a red panda which i died over.
We also had a lot of fun in the 'children's zoo' :



I’d definitely recommend the zoo and the park, as a chill and an enjoyable day.

 Monday
When Monday came, it was time to go home, but our flight wasn’t til 9pm so we went to IHOP for breakfast:

and walked around Brooklyn and Queens for a bit before getting the Long Island Expressway to the airport. We sat around in the airport for a few hours and that was that, we were on our way home after an amazing week spent in possibly my new favourite city in the world.

Curly Hair, What's in There? Queer Eye

Curly Hair, What's in There?  is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. Queer Eye Right, so if you are in any way aware of current popular culture, you'll have heard of Queer Eye, the Netflix reboot of the classic show where five gay men (the so-called "Fab Five") makeover people. Season three landed on Netflix yesterday (March 15) and I am living, I've already watched it all. If you've not already seen this show, lemme tell you why you should. First off, it's not your typical makeover show. Like yeah, I get it, you're thinking "it's a bunch of fashion conscious gay guys so it is" but it's really not. I mean, they do have aspects of that, they makeover their wardrobe, their look, their living space, but they do so much more. In just a week, they seem to makeover peoples' lives. As well as the three aforementioned aspects, ther...

Curly Hair, Been There: Lille

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. Living in Paris is interesting enough, but feeling spontaneous I decided to travel to a different city. So, I went to Lille for a day. Curly Hair, Been There: Lille I took a Thalys train from Paris Nord to Lille Flandres, which took just over an hour and cost me only £18. I got up suuuper early and I arrived in Lille just before 10am.  I left the station (massive and cool btw) to be greeted by this lovely sight: It turns out there was some Hispanic celebration going on (dorado something or other) and so there was lots of cool decor everywhere. Not only were there those statues, there were also these ribbons: and these ofrendas:  I walked over to the shopping mall, Euralille, (huge) because of course I needed a coffee, so I sat down in Starbucks and planned my day. I decided that from the mall I'd go and find the main sq...
