It has been 8 years since I've left NY. I've never gone home for Christmas and instead during that time, I've celebrated Christmas in different countries including Korea, Thailand, and Singapore.

adventures in the empire state
This summer in New York, I was able to do a few firsts, like riding the Staten Island Ferry and going to the Top of the Rock.

I used to love getting letters from my friends especially in middle school. I remember sending letters to friends at sleep away camp and to friends that moved.
