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

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 next few weeks I'm going to share all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is going to be a seven part series, a post for each day. So, let's dig into day two! Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part Two) The second day was a lot more eventful than the first. First thing I did was get up and go to the deli down the road, on the hunt for rugalach. However, I got there too early and they weren't ready yet, so I just got these massive amazing cinnamon rolls: We went out and explored a bit; the first thing we did was go and find the 78th precinct, or as most people know it, the building from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. While it was just a building, it was pretty cool to see the building we all recognise so well: I was pretty overexcited and...

That's the first thing I'll say. As soon as I left that airport and got into the city, I was so happy. It was everything I ever dreamed it'd be. Overall, my week's trip to New York was amazing.  We landed at JFK airport at about 4pm local time, after a long seven hour flight with American Airlines. The in flight entertainment and food was good, this was our meal:  The excitement hit most when we were flying over the country and saw the ground from the window of the plane; we were nearly in New York! Pretty cool view...

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...
