i must apologize for my recent hiatus – i can imagine that you all have been beside yourselves wondering where i’ve been… waiting with bated breath for my next post.
but you have to understand, nyc is busy – crazy busy. i worked over 12 hours yesterday. so often times i stop and say to myself, kvang, why do you choose to live in a place that demands so much of you?
i suppose it’s for the all the glitz and glamor associated with the nyc lifestyle – the fact that i saw jennifer aniston walking this week (screw you team jolie!), the thriving culture and the nightlife – oh yes the nightlife…
like this event invite i just received:
*sigh. oh, new york!

it’s no secret that i have a love/hate relationship with new york; consequently, my local friends are always pointing out all the fabulous things that only nyc can offer – which carries as much weight as a compliment from my mom… what does interest me, however, is australia’s list of the top 20 reasons to love nyc:
1. 5th ave
2. late night with conan
3. staten island ferry
4. central park zoo
5. msg
6. central park
7. columbus circle
8. macy’s
9. bkln bridge
10. century 21
11. broadway
12. mlb
13. bkln botanical gardens
14. jimmy’s corner
15. mccarren pool
16. peter lugar steakhouse
17. tiffany & co
18. jersey gardens outlet mall
19. plaza hotel
20. top of the rock
now i understand that this is one person’s opinion, but as a current new yorker and a former resident of perth, i’ve had the privilege of entertaining more than a few aussies in nyc and i would argue that their top five are:
1. our worthless dollar
2. quality mexican food (settle down! i realize that nyc doesn’t offer the best mexican fare, but when compared to australia, where they use salsa and marinara sauce interchangeably, it is pretty damn good…)
3. bars equipped for beer pong
4. these guys
5. KVANG – obviously…
