NYC Day 2 - Shopping and Other Stuff

The rest of my time today was spent in clothing boutiques with my mom, while my dad did his photography thing outside. The streets are really close together, so we could do a lot of walking around. I found that crossing the street was more or less an arbitrary thing; you watch the traffic and ignore the lights.Basically, you're free to cross if there aren't any cars nearby. When we were at the Pearl River Mart, they were filming a TV show for ...I think it was HGTV. So if anybody sees me and my family in an episode where a guy and a girl are running around a Chinese department store frantically grabbing random home decor items off the shelves, please let me know :3

I got some shirts and also found some presents for special people. Later on we wandered around Chinatown and soaked in the Asian-ness for a while. We stopped for dinner at a Chinese restaurant called Big Wong ("dai wong"), which was rather familiar-feeling and refreshing.
