RE: Macy's Thanksgiving Parade: I was freezing and it was super-crowded

in #travel6 years ago (edited)

yeah. since this unusually cold weather just happened to be in NYC when i was visiting i am dreadfully unprepared for it. I have only 1 Nebraska hoodie sweatshirt and I have had it on every day... the people at the coffeeshop might think i am homeless. I also have very little in the way of socks. I bought $2 gloves today but since they were $2 gloves I don't think they helped much.

When i was in Brisbane everyone kept talking about how the temp difference in HUGE between there and your place... to the point where a lot of your people vacation up in Queensland just to get away.

Sort:  

Yes, many like to make their way up up Queensland, especially the old folks! Meh, they are weak!! They are not like like us Melbournians who fight through 4 seasons in a day! My coping mechanism is whinging a lot.🙄

Look, it would at least be a unique holiday experience being the homeless guy instead of the tourist...😛
