Travel Log #1: Business Trip in New York/New Jersey
My 2 weeks plus workshop is ending soon. Few things I learn:
- The local breakfast is usually just bagel. Even after it’s toasted, it’s still hard. No good local breakfast.
- Starbucks is everywhere. Dunkin donuts is also everywhere.
- You can buy many things in CVS pharmacy. That includes bottled water and yogurt.
- It might look like short distance in Google maps but it can be very far to walk. So, everyone has a car.
- For long period, the best data plan only is T-mobile prepaid card. US$10 for sim card and US$30 for the data plan. For short period, borrow mobile router from Changi.
- The diet in US is very meat and carb heavy. Juice can be expensive but good to balance the diet. Yogurt is also good.
- I have yet to find nice coffee.
- Prince street pizza in Manhattan is excellent. I would go there again.
- Subway is a better place to going around than cars.
- The subway in Manhattan can be confusing. You swipe metro card to enter and to exit again because the train you looking for is only accessible at another point.
- Local brewery here is amazing. After drinking local beer, Heineken, Carlsberg and Tiger beer are just undrinkable.
