Bird’s Eye View

Wow. This place is insane. I can understand why people either love it or hate it. Me, I love it already - I’ve only seen a small portion of this city. The shuttle driver told us that Flushing, which is where we are, is like “second China Town”  The streets are so busy, the sidewalks full of people, the smells, the sights. I hate to use the old cliche of being like a kid in a candy store, but… Stairways going down, stairways going up, the little stall just big enough to sit in, sandwiched between a couple of doors - how do they get in there? And they’re all busy! Every store, stall, food cart - you name it - has something going on.

This is a picture from just down the street. Great big jade green building. Looked wonderful in the fading sunlight.
