We talked about good restaurant in Manhattan. I thought it is important for us to talk with teachers. I wanted to talk more with Mr.K. If I have chance oneday, I will try to talk more. Because it was so early in the morning, I slept in the train during it reach to Grand Central Station. At first, we walked to Times Square to see Tickets. It is a shop which sell Broadway musicle ticket. We have not seen any musicals in 12th grade. So we wanted to check what is on now. There are so many musicals. I wanted to see Shreck musical which we saw in the English class. We wanted to check the price, but staff say prices will change every day. So we could not check them. We still had enough time before lunch, so we went to Toysrous . It is famous toy shop in the US and they have some shops in Japan. When I was child, I wanted to go there everyday. They have biggest store in times square so we went in there. First, we checked Lego. When I was in forth grade, I used to make them. There are so many new thing that I have not seen before. Then we went to see star wars toys. There are so many airplane toys and light saver toys. I used to enjoy to pray with them when I was 6. Then I went to see some Transformers toys. Last year, It was on movie by Jorge Recues. The movie was so fun so I wanted to see the toys. They are so cool. When I was in second grade, I used to pray with them. But they are more cooler than old. At last, We went to see Nintendo DS. I prayed some games but they were boring. Then we went to see sun grass shop. We tried many grasses but they did not fit to us. Then we moved to Soho to see some shops. We went to see Santa Maria Novella. It is famous Italy church name. When we went to Florence last summer , We went to there. They sells famous fragrances in the church. We wanted to try those again. The fragrances smells so nice. My favorite was Sicily. It smells like orange and lemon. Then we went to see old movie theater in Soho. They looked so old and in side of the theater, there is so many old movie posters . We enjoyed to see them. Then we went to eat lunch in Italian restaurant. I was little tired so I order to make simple tomato spaghetti. It taste so nice. Their past is so big. So, I was full. Hiroki ordered Lobster pasta. It looked so nice. When I went back to the restaurant, I will order Lobster pasta. Then we went back to Soho and went to DIESEL DENIM GARRERY. Do you know Diesel? It is famous Italian clothes store. Diesel Denim Garrely is not usual Diesel store. They are special store and all items are made by hand. There items are much expensive than usual store. At there, I found cool T shorts.

First, I checked some Japanese fashion magazine. But they were all boring. Then I went up stares to see some Japanese comic and pictures. They are so interesting. On 11;30, we leave the book store. And this week, Manhattan fashion week take place in Briant Park. I wanted to see them but it was for celebrity and press. So we just saw who is inside the show. There were so many people who was fashionable. But they looks so cool and strange for me. Then we moved to subway station at 8th avenue beyond broad way. We moved to 14street by subway and went to Corner Bistro to eat lunch. It is a famous hamburger shop in Manhattan . Kazuya wanted to go there so much from when he was 11th grade. So his dream come true at that day. We ordered Bistrobarger. It is a traditional hamburger with bacon and cheese. Hamburger was so juicy. I and Kazuya ordered two burgers. It cost just 6 dollar for each burgers. We really enjoyed them and I felt full. Then we moved to upper to go to brooming dares shopping mall to see ParaBoot again. But there is no ParaBoot shoes so we went to City Shoes to see them. But at city shoes, There were also no shoes which is cool. Then we walked 59 street to 77 street to go to Italian Café to have some brake. At the café, I ordered traditional earl gray and mocha cake. Hiroki ordered macchiato and Kazuya ordered different type of England tea. We enjoyed talking for one and half hour at there. When we went out, It was already 4; 30. So we decide to go back. During the way to go station, we found woman who wears Japanese animation character costume. Her hair were colored in blue. She looks very funny. In Japan, there are some people who wears costume like her, they also looks funny. During we rode a train to White Plains, I and Hiroki enjoyed talking again.
Next day, I went to Woodberry commons outlet. Because of president day, they did big sale. I woke up at 7;30 and I and Hiroki and Keisuke rode bus at 8;30. In the bus, I met with Taro. I and Taro talked about our life in Japan after we graduate. It was fun. At 10;30, We reached to outlet. I went to Diesel store and enjoyed to try many denims for one and half hours. At 12;00, we ate lunch together and after that, I went to Dolce and Gabbana store because Hiroki wanted to let us see denim that he found. It looked very cool but it was still expensive even it is in outlet. So he did not buy them. Then I went back to Diesel store and I bought denim. It cost 140 but if I bought it in Japan, It cost 330. I was happy. I and Keisuke looked around some stores and we went back to White plains at 3;00. At station, we met with Hiromi and her father. Her father takes us to our dormitory by car.
