China Town!

Today I made three new friends. They are also nannies here in NY. Sophie and I were the first ones to arrive at Grand Central and waited for Mia and Claudia to arrive. After the two girls showed up we went and walked a little around Time Square. There were some crazy people out today... Anyway, after Time Square we decided to go eat lunch and found this Japanese place. It wasn't too bad to tell you the truth. Then we went to a cute little bakery for a cookie, took it to Central Park (hoping to run into a celebrity or more) to eat. It was such a nice and beautiful day today. So sunny and bright. The wind was the only downfall.
Sophie wound up having to leave due to prior commitment and so Mia, Claudia and myself went to China Town! How exciting!!! Mia was really good at bargaining and she also knew who would be good to go to to buy from. I was glad she was there. I didn't buy anything but I definitely learned how to get the people to give you what you want for the price you want.
When we were done wondering around China Town and seeing what it was like, we decided to go to Little Italy to eat dinner. Mia knows the owner of one of the restaurants and so we went there. It was pretty good and a really cute place! I wish I saw what the name of it was but I didn't look. Little Italy is one of the cutest places to walk around and eat at a romantic place.
Now, the strange people we encountered today... Well, as we were walking to China Town, there were a couple of guys in this garbage truck type of vehicle honking and Mia and I looked over and they were staring at us! I was afraid that the wind had caught my dress and I didn't notice but luckily it wasn't the case because I was watching and holding my dress just so I wouldn't have a 'Marilyn Monroe' moment. In Time Square, Mia and Claudia had guys saying things to them that were just weird. Mia was wearing a red rain coat and one told her that she looked like a sexy pack of ketchup...? Okay... Later someone promoting a comedy show followed us trying to get us to go and it was just creepy. And last but not least, one guy told us that we looked bored and that we should go to the comedy show. We told him not tonight and he was just like 'you look tired and bored, I can help fix that, I get off at 12!'. How disgusting is that? Wow. I'm glad that I will most likely never see these people again.
I will say that I have gotten better at ignoring people on the street who try to sell me stuff. I just hate when they get in my face because then it's a little harder to just walk around or get away. Worse, they don't like the answer 'no', 'not today', etc. Sometimes I really want to take advantage of my sign language knowledge but at the same time I'm afraid someone might know it... Oh well.
Thanks for reading! Sorry it took me so long to post something. I guess nothing to exciting has happened since my last post. I was kinda hoping that this post would have been more exciting. Oh! I just remembered one very funny part of today! You know how in the movies when someone is standing by the curb and there is a puddle and they get splashed by  a car driving by? Well, on our way to lunch, the four of us were standing by the curb and there was this huge puddle. Just jokingly I mentioned how funny it would be if that thing were to happen to us and just as we were walking away, a car drives not in the middle or the edge of the puddle but in between those places of the puddle! How funny! Sophie got most of the splash, I got only a little. We all were laughing so hard. Great moment that we will remember for a long time (we hope).
