Weekend in far away land
I got back from Rochester on late Sunday night. The trip was fun, but tiring at the same time. We left Manhattan around 6:30pm and we got stuck in traffic--big time! When we finally got to Rochester, it was already 1:30am. Long drive!
Rochester seemed to be a typical mid-sized town in the Northeast--lots of green, lots of space, etc. At first, I thought I would never want to live in places like this. It seemed boring. But by the end, I started to feel that I actually want to live in a town like Rochester, where it's very relaxing and spacious. Cost of living is much lower compared to NYC, you get more space for what you pay (rent in NYC is rediculous), and there are lots of green. Maybe there are very little entertainment in a mid-sized town, but you definitely get more comfortable living environment. I guess I'm getting old... :-p
Anyhow, let's talk about the wedding that I attended on Sat. It was a very casual wedding that took place at groom's parents' backyard. It was almost like a family BBQ, and the wedding ceremony was like a addendum to the BBQ. The wedding ceremony itself was very, very touching. Two people saying to each other that they will love him/her as long as they live...awwwww....Now, I want to get married (!!!). Anyway, I was happy to see two people who found each other! Since the wedding was very small and casual, I didn't find any cute, eligible singles but I still had fun. I ate a lot and drank a lot. Just hung out in the backyard with friends. The weather was very nice, and it was very relaxing!
Other than wedding, we didn't do much in Rochester. I was still sick during the trip, and we all were very tired from driving and the wedding. To conclude the trip, Travis, Yodee, and I went to this Greek cafe(?) in Astoria to have some wine. We had this very sweet desert wine, and it was good. :-) I hope I will get to explore more in Queens...there seems to be some nice places to hang out in Queens.
