24 Hours in New York City

Though I live in the United Kingdom now, I use to live in Upstate New York. Back in the time when I was less chronically online, I went down to New York City and spent about 24 hours there, taking a greyhound bus. At the time, I wasn’t aware of things like the New York City Tourist Pass, but can see how useful that would be if I went back now! If you are ever thinking about going to New York City, here are all of the things that I enjoyed doing when I was last there!

There is something fun about carrying around a little pet that you take care of and raise! GigaPets Cryptids is a new type of Tamagotchi, where you can find and raise mythical creatures like the loch ness monster (Nessie), Bigfoot and Mothman – who I have never heard of myself!

Alton Towers Pirate Takeover and Splash Landings Hotel

It is one of our yearly traditions to go to Alton Towers during the February half term. They have on this Pirate Takeover event, which has a limited area of the park open. There is a deal that allows you to book up a day at Splash Landings Hotel, the night over at the hotel, and then go to the park the next day (or the reverse of that, really it’s up to you). We love amusement parks and hotels, so this is such a fun time for everyone.

Some games, however, are better suited for an older demographic, so when it came to Rocky Horror Show Board Game, we decided to play it as apart of our friend group, since the rating was 14 and above.

Harlow Chinese School Cooking Course – Buns, Soup and Pork

After discovering the Harlow Chinese School‘s cooking courses earlier this year, we were anxiously awaiting the next course to attend. As they are aiming to do this each and every month, we were prepared for March. The cooking course this time had a big variety of food; stuffed buns, flower buns, corn and chicken soup, and char siu pork. Unlike the last time we attended, some of the food that was being made was demonstrated only this time, but we really did get our fill of knowledge and food.
