New York City

G'day Mates! After spending a weekend in Boston, I headed to New York City do see what it had is store for me. Since I was young I was always fascinated about New York City because of all the films and television shows produced. I was determined to see what all the buzz was about to see if big dreams do come true. Of course since I like big cities I instantly knew NYC would be a unique city to visit. I recommend New York City for people who love the busy and crowded areas filled with thousands of people walking everywhere. If you are looking for history then NYC is the place to visit! NYC is also a city for people who love to eat! Besides the history and food, NYC has a lot of shops and sightseeing to choose from. To stay in shape I mainly walked around the city to embrace the Big Apple, and see things that cannot be seen from any public transportation. Here below are my top ten places to see or do in NYC. 1. Try the street vendor food 2. The Late Show with David Letterman 3. Madison Square Garden 4. Times Square 5. Radio City 6. Brooklyn Bridge 7. Central Park 8. Statue of Liberty 9. World Trade Center Memorial 10. Empire State Building Of course there are a lot more things to list, but this gives you a sample of the city. Just remember to bring a good pair of walking shoes, and have fun. Like always at any time there is an opportunity to travel or try something new do it. This will help you to find yourself and meet people around the world to learn different cuisines and cultures. Only you have the power to see the World, until next time book some trips and enjoy college. Cheers, Lee IV

College travels

G'day mates! As I finish my last semester at Moraine Park, I want to share a tip with you. When you’re in college you should take the opportunity to study aboard or travel as much as you can. Seeing the world when you are young and have fewer responsibilities can lead to great experiences. I’ve spoken to people who are older than me about traveling and they tell me that if they could do it over, they would choose to travel more. In my next couple of blogs, I am going to share with you my experience as I travel to Boston, New York City and New Jersey. So stay tuned! It’s going to be a fun voyage ahead! Cheers, Lee IV

Back to Reality

It’s been two days since the German students left and I miss them a lot. Now they are in the great city of New York for four days, and I’m still in good ol Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. I hope one day I’ll visit New York City; I heard it is a great place to visit. Anyway life is back to normal for me now with the same routine go to school, work, and try to have free time to have fun. At least the weather is beautiful especially since the temperatures are supposed to be near 80 degrees.

This week on Wednesday, September 5, Comedian Chad Daniels came to Moraine Park Technical College during lunch time. Free lunches were offer to students, and the menu was the choice of pasta with marinara or alfredo sauce along with bread sticks, water, and a cookie of different types. The alfredo pasta was really good I reckon. During this time Comedian Chad Daniels was telling his jokes which cover all types of genre from his personal experience to ordinary life in America. I enjoyed his humor, I just wish it could’ve gone longer, but it was enough time before my next class started.

I have another fun weekend ahead filled with a wedding on Saturday. My two good friends are getting married in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I hope the weather is pleasant to make an even better wedding, but if not I’m sure it will still be a fantastic day. Then on Sunday I’m attending a Scholarship dinner in Green Lake, Wisconsin at the Heidel House. This event is sponsor by the Wisconsin Restaurant Association. I will be able to meet the people who donated money for my tuition, and thank them for the scholarship I won. I’ll be sure to provide some pictures on my next blog and the typical life of a student at Moraine Park Technical College. Catch you soon!

Danke,
