Things I learned on my trip to NYC and Pittsburgh

I really do love food in Pittsburgh

Eating Pittsburgh rare patty is like eating rare ground beef!

Don’t sit outside in the Pittsburgh summer in the dark especially if you’re me. You can get bitten many times

Use ice to decrease swelling from a bug bite

If you’re me, you really don’t need to go see the doctor every time you get a bug bite that swells up the entire foot

People really do remember me at CMU even though I don’t remember them

Expensive, trendy haircuts equals more expensive everyday maintenance

A sandwich with apples and cheese can be quite greasy (Autumn Sampler at the place formerly known as Craig Street Cafe now known as Eat Unique

Must remember to take advantage of no tax on clothing in PA

Kaufmanns has been purchased by Macys

Some things never change in Pittsburgh like helpful guy in the regular member line at Enterprise

Pittsburgh has a huge market for calendars with bikini models with tattoos

Pittsburgh model photographers are not sleazy at all. In fact, they are incredibly nice and welcome the fellow spectator

When packing, don’t forget medication that you take everyday

One thing I don’t like about the East Coast is the weather, particularly the humidty

I do love California summers, especially San Francisco summer

MarketNYCis worth it, especially designers like Sohung

Yelling “The prodigal son is here” and holding Toad up when arriving to the Nintendo store will elicit chuckles and claps from knowing employees, but not from anyone else

Umbrellas are useful when it rains

When you need an umbrella, look for one that is dropped in the subway station stairs

Airtrain doesn’t go very far but it costs $5 just to get to the subway and you have to pay an additional $2 to get on the subway

That’s pricier than the amount I pay to take the BART from the station closest to my apartment in SF to the airport

Native east coast people don’t leave baseball games stay until the last inning

If you want a souvenir cup from a baseball park, wait until most people have left. Someone always leaves something behind.

Columbia is not in Harlem according to Columbia students

Don’t go to NYC when it’s hot and humid.
