YO NYC: ASIA SPECIAL Part 1

8 Nov

It’s a little late but I’ve been busy with school and what not, but this past summer I spent about a month in a half in Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore. It was wicked hot, and I had loads of fun. Aside from the usual touristy attractions, I was more excited to eat my way through the places I visited than actually care about whatever else the country had to offer. Food to me is the best part of other cultures.

Seat Savers

8 Nov

Have you ever avoided a subway seat because of the filth on it? Well this person took the idea and made this an item called “seat savers”.

Pretty cool idea, I bought a few of them, going to try and see how it works on the LIRR.
