New York TRIP Day 3/9 (+ A Blog Achievement For Me) (Sunday)

'Allo! I ate eggs for breakfast. Though I wasn't really hungry, so I barely ate. We got a map of the subway, and then got into the subway that's on street 135. Oh yea, last night the family here told us that the nearest subway is 3 blocks away and also gave us a map so we knew where the subway was and that also means we lived at street 132. Inside the subway, we bought a 7-day MetroCard AKA subway ride available for 7 days. It was $29, so that's about $4 a day and that's about 3 trains taking us somewhere. There were 2 types of trains: A local, and express. Local stops at every station. Express only stops at big stations. A and D are express trains, and B and C are local trains. And trains are also color coded. We were on our way to Times Square, and that's 12 stops *sigh* and we couldn't get there with express because station ST. 135 is a local station. When we got there, the first thing I smelled was food. There was so many street vendors! And I was also hungry so I bought a kebab from a street vendor. A kebab is food on a stick, usually meat. It was kind of expensive because it was $5. And it was kind of weird because he gave us a hot dog bun with it.
The good-smelling smoke and the vendor that took $5 from our hands.
He doesn't sell cheezburger. 
We were still trying to find the Times Square place where there was a lot of people, because that station wasn't next to it. We walked a little bit, and then when I was trying to eat the kebab I dropped the hot dog bun. And then later, I dropped the napkins! And we finally got to the place where a lot of people where. We took some pictures, and we went a little more forward to find some interesting shops. And the first shop that I saw and wanted to go to was Toys "R" Us. My mom told me that that is the largest Toys "R" Us. We got inside, and there was 3 floors! And also there was an employee that took our picture and then gave us a card to where the photo place are so they can sell you overpriced items. One on the main level, one below that, and one above that. That place was kind of like a mini toy heaven. There was a Wonka section (filled with accessories and candy like Nerds, Laffy Taffy, etc.), LEGO Section (YES!! THANK YOU!) , Hot Wheels, baby section (that had non-toy things like baby powder or lotion or something like that for babies) AKA Babies "R" Us, Nerf Gun, A FERRY WHEEL (You heard me. It was about 2 floors tall.)!, Scoops "R" Us (An ice cream place), Candy Land, and a lot more that I don't remember (OMG so much italicizing!) . Oh yea, there were also a lot of people (employees) playing with the products advertising them. The first place we  visited was ..... actually the first thing we did was watch this guy advertising this product. He says it's about a worm that moves if you move. I actually think there's a string that he's pulling on his head that looks like he's pulling it. It's kind of a scam to me. Then we went to the Wonka place. They had over sized Laffy Taffy, one of their candy product pillow that I forgot what it was, and some other stuff. Then I headed upstairs, and going downstairs was....
A GIRAFFE! OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! A GIRAFFE! A guy in a suit that's a giraffe (D colon. OK THAT'S NOT SMILEY BECAUSE D colon = D: and colon D = :D and colon p/P = :p/ :P). Dang it!! Well the giraffe would of fell because it stands on 4 legs, and 4 legs cant all stand on one of the escalator steps. It will just be slanted toward the front and look un-average and I don't think the roof is tall enough for the head, although the giraffe can duck, but only ducks duck. So that means giraffe plus escalator = duck. And at the entrance was about 200,000 LEGO pieces waiting for me to see. There was a model of a glass building, The Statue of Liberty, and another building. They had LEGO City, LEGO Alien Conquest, LEGO Star Wars (I think that's the most popular theme of all LEGOs), LEGO Kingdoms, LEGO Architecture, LEGO Atlantis, and some others. So much italicizing! I think I should just italicize the comma to make everything easier.... 
Anyway, there was Mega Bloks (Yea, no "c") and others I don't remember. Next to it was a big dinosaur that moves and talks/roars. next to that is a guy advertising this thing that I have no idea what it's name is. He says that they're trying to invent a new game. You just do a lot of tricks with this little beanbag-like beanbag. But you don't use your paws. I pretty much failed all the tricks I tried to do except for whenever he soft tossed the  beanbag or whatever it is to me.  Next to that was another advertiser that was playing with a 3" height helicopter that costed $80 (>_<), and next to that was Candy Land! They had a huge (what was it called.... yep I forgot) lollipop that costed $15, over sized Reese's, over sized Hershey's Chocolate, over sized Kit Kat, over sized Twizzlers, and more. That's the only section I remember in Candy Land. Well it was pretty small. Next to that is the middle part of the ferry, where the spinner-thingy spun the wheel to make it move. Next to that was where the baby stuff was (>-<). Then we went down to the .... very bottom floor/ below regular ground floor. Oh yea, Each floor is like an outside part of a circle, the middle is just nothing except for the ferry wheel, so you can see all the way up to the 3rd floor. On the bottom I really just looked at the Nerf Gun place, and then we left. We kept going forward, and then I saw the M&M World and wanted to go there. The first floor was all souvenirs like a picture of an M&M, a M&M Statue of Liberty dispenser, except the face of the Statue of Liberty is the green lady M&M. Then we went upstairs via (I don't get why I used via....) escalators. And up there was like a mini M&M heaven! Again! There were so many sorted colors of M&M against the walls that you can take by grabbing the bag, pulling the handle that allows you to get the M&Ms out, and go pay $12 a pound of M&Ms!
Mixed for you. We auto-corrected the position on the computer but it's not auto-correcting here.... *sigh*
There is no cheezburger!

My smile looks weird. This is only one section of the M&M collecting. There's  .... it's either 3 or 4 sections.
There is no cheezburger still!
 I think that's not worth it because ... actually B4 I can answer that I need to weigh a regular bag of M&Ms and how much it costs because I think a pound of regular bag M&Ms are more cheaper than $12 a pound of M&Ms. Even though you get to get colors of M&Ms you never seen B4, they all taste the same. But at least you get to customize it. We ended up buying some of the M&Ms. We chose colors we've never seen before and got a few pretzel M&Ms and got a little summer mix and coconut mix. It was around $11, so it was almost a pound. And in case you don't know what a pound is, it also gives a small chart that was something like:
1 pound
16 ounces 
453.59237 grams 
They had a lot of other dispensers, but they were like $15-20. Then I went to this place called Color Mood. It will scan you and tell you what mood color you are in. I hoped for purple because that was my favorite color and ..... *drum roll* ............. IT WAS! YES! NOW PAY UP! Oh wait, dang it! We didn't bet. Then we went to the check-out line. During the line to the cash register I saw that they even sell M&M poker cards! $6 for 2 decks. And after we purchased it we went outside and then like Elmo (a guy in a Elmo costume) got close to me and so I was kind of like forced to take a picture so we did and we gave him a tip.
OMG AUTO-CORRECT! SERIOUSLY! NOT JOKING! AND THIS IS THE CAPTIONS PLACE! NOT COMPLAINTS PLACE!
Too bad that's not cheezburger...
Oh yea, next to the M&M factory I saw a Hershey's Chocolate sign and Reese's sign so I guess that meant that there was a factory of that next to it and so we searched for it for 12.87 seconds and we found it! It was pretty small, the first floor was smaller than the M&M place and it had no 2nd floor. There was really one product that interested me the most: "Worlds Largest Hershey's Chocolate Bar". A) Well duh, because your company is Hershey's and your trademarked. B) You make so many of them, which one IS the largest???
You failed the name. I don't get why I'm so mean to Hershey's and so nice to M&Ms. I like Hershey's Chocolate Bar. I don't know why. But here is a few pictures:
I don't have any. Haha. Then we were going to go to Central Park. We tried to find a train station, but the only train station we got to was closed, so we drove a taxi. It was actually really close. And when we got there, there was these 2 people that were performing. Well, about to. They were going to perform flipping over 5 or 6 people that are touching their toes. It was kind of funny. First they were collecting money, and every time they get a 10 dollar bill and up they would yell at each other in a weird voice, "Hey [their name], guess what?" "What?" "I got [bill amount]!" and then the crowd would start clapping. They got 2 $10 bills and 1 $20  bills from an Asian. A funny part to me was when he told them what to do. He was like first stretch out your arms. Next, break it down! *Starts dancing* *no one dances with them* and at the end it was also funny to me because they did the performance and everybody started leaving but they both said together, "Wait! It's not over! ....... Give us more money!!" but we already kind of left. We were now looking for a bike. And after a really complicated story I was ready to hit the 6.2 or 6.8 mile trail! Kevin went by himself and he was going really fast and in the lead. My mom and my dad just took a pace like me, just nice and slow. There was a lot of horses, and that meant there was a lot of horse poop ( >:P - OK I can't make a disgusted look by sticking the tongue out). There were lots of fast bikers that were like 2-3 times faster than us. And I forgot to say this, but there was no foot brakes. I'm always used to foot brakes (When you move the pedal backwards) on kids bikes and my hand brakes are unaccurate. There was a lot of up and downs and those things that happen on roads. Well, I don't have anything else to say that's interesting except that it took us 1 hour and 30 minutes. We also rested in between so if we didn't it would be less. Usually if you don't return the bikes at the time your suppose to (ours is 1 hour) you get charged higher rates but these people were nice and didn't raise anything at all. And then we went to Chinatown to eat dinner. We took the subway that took us to Grand St which is very close to Chinatown. They have no cheezburger! We went to this place called Big Wang Ping and ate lobsters. Then we went home on an express train. We saved like 9 stations to go to, but we had to go on to another train from station ST 125 because our apartment is at 132 and there's another train that goes to station ST 135 but that's not a "big station"!
And when I got home I finally found a cheezburger.

Oh yea, I forgot to say that this is my blogs longest entree I've done so far. Mainly because I give too much details. And the pictures take space too.
