Trenton, NJ!

I'm in Trenton, just 100 miles away from NYC!

I'm so excited about spending Christmas in Manhattan.

To save some bucks on lodging, I'll be at my friend Junho's house until Sunday. (He's celebrating his birthday on Saturday!) I'm looking for nice motels in NYC which seems impossible.

There are either big expensive hotels or cheap youth hostels.

Junho told me there are some cheap motels in Jersey City, which is right next to NYC.

I'm wondering what it's going to feel like to stand in Time Square with my bicycle, after this 4 months- pedaling.

Wish me good luck!

Toll

I'm in Philadelphia, in the UPENN area. My body is full of beer now. Haha.

I just don't want to go to New York City. I should have stopped in Washington DC.
I should have been modest and realized my limit. I've been pushing to the limit and it's making me ill physically and mentally.

I just checked all the possible roads that lead to Manhattan.
New York City is surounded by tolls. It seems like there's no way to get in there.

Damn..


Cuba was a lot more worth traveling by bike. There was no such thing as toll. There was no sign saying "cars only". Cars, trucks, bicycles, coaches, horses, cows and people shared same roads.


Maybe I might have to take a train to enter NYC after all this ordeal with bicycle...

I don't know why, but I have bad feeling about this last route. I fell, I got arrested, and still have cold. Maybe it's my obsession of karma; I've done so many bad things in my life. I feel like I'm getting it back on this one trip!


The weather forecast said it will be warm for the whole week. Is it some kind of trick from God?
