Visiting Pyae and Andrew in New York
May 25, 2009 12:23:45 AM

     Khine's sister, Pyae, spent her latest semester in New York and wanted us to visit before her exchange program was over as she normally goes to school in Massachusetts. So while in NY, she stayed in a dorm type setting (where she posted Khine and my housing for the trip) which was actually a college funded hotel offering basically all the ammenaties of an upscale resort.
      At about the same time as our visit, Andrew was just getting moved into the city, sort of. He's decided to try being an urban nomad for the summer (aka homeless) to try living with out expenses and to get by on wild vegatation and the earnings from his music. In the evenings, after all the touring and site-seeing, I thought it'd be fun to preform some street entertainment and to see if I could earn any tips, so I joined Andrew and we played some duets. Unfortunately we didn't really get anything, just some about-to-expire subway passes. Oh well, it was probably mostly due to us always playing too late at night and in the wrong locations. Andrew can make some pretty good payoffs sometimes, though, like $5 / 10min.
     While there, we even rented a car for a day and made a road trip all the way up to Pyae's actual college. Once there, while the girls toured the campus, Andrew and I scoped out the surrounding country side. We even found the Caretaker Farm; a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm complete with it's own solar array, greenhouses, composting, and animals for complete self-sustainability. After joining back up, we went on some nature hikes and then out for dinner at a Chinese/Japanese restaurant. Right around dusk we headed back to NY, took a short nap, then drove ourselves back to LaGuardia for our flight back to Nashville.
