    • New York with the Thai girlfriend for the 2011/2012 holiday season

      We will be leaving for New York for a couple of weeks to celebrate the 2011/2012 holiday season, shortly. I’ll try to post pictures (maybe a short Vimeo Video) of Time Square during 2012 New Years Eve Celebration (Lady Gaga is scheduled to be there and I expect a young crowd there: http://www.timessquarenyc.org/events/new-years-eve/nye-schedule/index.aspx), but it will...

    • Durianfan moves to northern China

      It is currently -26 C outside. If I decide to go out, it's about a 7-minute process to get all geared up. I have been here since August, and the temperature drop occurred in the middle of November - I think that's when the first snowfall happened. And it's not a proper snow - it's more like dust flakes falling from the sky. But it's so cold that the snow just stays and turns into this black-ish...

    • Fred's Indonesian Photos

      You see a lot when you wander with your eyes open. It can also be a bit handy if you wander down back streets. This is just off a top priced street in the south side of Jakarta, not far from a few embassies. Now I know what happened to all those ex Soviet flying...

    • Canadian Winter Scenes

      I figure I'll start a proper thread with pics that I will take throughout the winter. We just had two days of non-stop snow and ice pellets. We had beautiful, sunny weather today. Even though it is -26C with the windchill, I decided to put on long john's and bundle up to take a walk. Enjoy, as I enjoyed taking them. I also got a tan from the sunshine. My door the day after the snowfall....

    We will be leaving for New York for a couple of weeks to celebrate the 2011/2012 holiday season, shortly. I’ll try to post pictures (maybe a short Vimeo Video) of Time Square during 2012 New Years Eve Celebration (Lady Gaga is scheduled to be there and I expect a young crowd there: http://www.timessquarenyc.org/events...ule/index.aspx), but it will be late for most of you, who will see your New Year come in before we do.




    We’ve been to New York together once before, but it wasn’t during the holiday season. The girlfriend seems to think this US city is the nicest she has ever visited and one of the reasons why we are returning. We’ll see what her opinion is after she feels that cold weather. If it does snow during our stay, it will be the first time I will see/feel snow.

    While in New York we plan on seeing two plays (Book of Mormon, and Spiderman) and attending one concert (Gov’t Mule) besides visiting Time Square New Years Eve, visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art (again), Statue of Liberty (just the island, because I think it is closed for a year for some inside renovations), Ellis Island, the 9/11 Memorial and spending more time in the park (trying to teach the girlfriend to ice skate). We might also try to get to Little Italy and China Town for some good food.




    I will usually add a part about how you or your spouse/girlfriend can get a visa to visit the places we go in my travel threads, but all I can say this time is good luck. As I understand it’s not easy getting a visa to visit the states.

    I will do another cost breakdown at the end of the thread, without show tickets, air travel and apartment rental costs because they could vary depending on the season/year.

    I will also be posting a short video of each set of pictures in each post so the viewer can view the pictures I post without having to log into Subzero.

    A video that might help with your holiday spirit,....
