Phantom of the Opera and Harry Potter!!!



On Monday morning we went to Broadway to get tickets for the Phantom of the Opera on Tuesday evening. After getting the tickets, Boy and Dope wanted to go see The Cage: a well known basketball court. We stayed there for an hour and went to K-town (Korean Town) afterwards, where you can find lots of Korean and Japanese restaurants, Karaoke and shops. K-town was stationed near the Empire State Building and we were supposed to go up there and have Korean BBQ afterwards. Sadly the weather changed and the sky became very clouded. Since you can't see far with all the clouds anyways, we decided to go up the Empire State another day.

We went to the Flatiron building, took a few pictures and went back to Times Square to have dinner at Applebee's. While we were eating we saw on the telly that Incubus was performing at The David Letterman Late Show. Since the studio was at Times Square, we decided to have a look there. We went to the backdoor and saw a lot of people waiting. After half an hour Brandon came outside! He greeted us and signed for a few fans and went into the car. Too bad it was too dark, I couldn't take any clear pictures.

On Tuesday we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Alexander McQueen had a special exhibition there, but it was so busy that we couldn't see the exhibition. So we only visit the normal exhibition. It was a nice and huge museum with art from all over the world.

After the museum we went back to the hotel and dressed up for the Phantom of the Opera. It was such a fantastic show, the voice of the Phantom is so beautiful... I knew all of the songs since this is my favorite musical and got goosebumps when Christine sang Think Of Me. During the break I went to the restroom and for the first time of my life I got commanded by a employee to hurry up in a public restroom. "Just pull up your skirt, squat, flush, wash your hands and leave!!" the employee yelled at us. Haha that was kind of funny actually.

Even now I still have the show in my mind and the songs in my head... I am so in love with the musical.

Today Boy and Dope went back to the Cage while I went to Times Square to visit the Harry Potter Exhibition. It was so awesome to see so many costumes and props of the HP movies. Really a must see for any HP fans. I think the exhibition will come to Europe after September this year. I bought Harry's wand at the Diagon Alley shop!! I am so happy with it!!!

After the exhibition I went shopping at Times Square, spend 2 hours in Forever 21 (so many cheap but cute clothing!) and bought a YSL lipstick at Sephora afterwards.
In the evening we went to have dinner at Joe's Shanghai again, such delicious dumplings.

Tomorrow will be our last full day here in New York, I am getting depressed thinking about it. :(
