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: The Louvre

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there.  Paris: The Louvre    So I went to the Louvre last week and I have some thoughts.  It was a nice day and outside, with the famous pyramids and the impressive building, it was a really nice welcome to the landmark. I mean, the whole thing of the Louvre is that it's all nice to look at and it definitely was. I mean, the armed police and street sellers trying to flog their tickets were not so enjoyable, but the rest of it was a lovely introduction to the spectacle.  It's very impressive inside as well, the entrance is like a cave and then there are different passages going to different places and it's really cool.  I will say that it's a little confusing. I had a map, but if you think I can find my way around with or without guidance you are sorely mistaken. I got lost pretty much instantly. I was wandering around statue...
