Two vacations in five weeks. Three silly girls. Let the patrolling begin...

ECBC & Woodbury Commons

Disclaimer: I'm not politically correct, and I use gross generalizations.

Saturday and half of Sunday was at the Eastern Chinese Bible Conference. Funny talking to Chinese people with New York accents... especially amusing to hear a grandma say "hot dawg" (in reference to lunch) in a pure Brooklyn accent! Actually, yellow skin with black accents is entertaining at any age. Of course, they thought we were funny when we said "out". Apparently that's when our Canadian accent is most evident!

Second half of Sunday was shopping at the outlet mall, followed by pure gluttony at a Sushi restaurant.

Other highlights of our adventures:
1. American born Chinese guys are really buff. Big, tall, and BUFF!!
2. It is indeed possible to be the driver yet feel nauseous about your own driving.
3. Everyone in NY state needs an EZ Pass. Else, get OUT of the EZ Pass lane.
4. The entire NY state shows up at Woodbury Commons on the Labour Day long weekend when there is no state tax, as well as a sidewalk sale.
5. American mall security guards/traffic directors are RETARDED. I don't think they can count, or maybe they get disoriented when they turn around. There is a necessity to ALTERNATE the direction of traffic that you allow to pass, or else don't be surprized when 15 cars plus a tourist bus honk their horns at you and the state police have to come save you from potential mob-like behaviour.
6. I get more road rage in NY state, trying to get in and out of an outlet mall while not being a driver, than I do driving in TO.
7. Hollering at a state trooper to figure out why the stoopid security guard won't let us leave the mall was quite fun!
