Seeking my Year of the Ox Guy (CC, Central Philadelphia)
I’m looking for you to come with me to NYC to ring in the Year of the Ox on Sunday, February 1, 2009.
<br>
<br>
Are you that adventurous guy?
<br>
<br>
I suggest we:
<br>
<br>
Take the Chinatown-2-Chinatown bus from Philly to NYC for a ~10 AM arrival
<br>
Visit the Buddhist Temple for an offering and blessing
<br>
Check out to see if there are any exotic birds in Wah-Mei Garden
<br>
Get Dim Sum, yum yum
<br>
Head into the streets for the parade and celebration starting at 1 PM
<br>
Warm up in a tea house with tea and sweet treats
<br>
Meander through the streets and stores (including the world famous chop stick shop)
<br>
Walk back toward the Manhattan Bridge and grab a little libation – it’s a long way home.
<br>
Get back on the bus and reminisce about our day all the way home…. Or nap – content!
<br>
<br>
Just know it could be brutally cold, wet and windy – but there’s nothing like it!
<br>
<br>
I’m born in the year of the Rat.
<br>
What year are you born in?
<br>
So how does this sound like something you’d want to join me in?

Include a pic with your response. Your pic gets mine.
