Ellis Island


My hubby and I went to New York last 2006 and it was my first time to visit the Statue of Liberty. I didn't really expect that there was another island located before next of it. It's an Ellis island, a big old historical building in the middle. This island is a symbol of America's immigrant heritage. From 1892-1954, It's a place for immigrant depot processed. Nearly, twelve million immigrants before had landed just searching for their freedom of speech and religion and for economic opportunity.

How really difficult to enter here in US as an immigrants,the law is so tight. But lucky we don't need to stuck in the island and to waiting for couple of months or year of processing. It's fast now because of using the high technology, everything can be process easily.

Nowadays, the island is under management of the national park service.The monument has been preserved for the generations to come.This is one of the amazing tourist spot in New york. If you will plan to visit the Statue of Liberty,dn't miss the Ellis Island coz it's a very interesting scenery.

It's so freezing!

How so cold outside. I think now below 27 F. and tonigth will be snowing. I love the snow but not too much.Im so tired and sick the winter .I can't wait the spring season.
I remember when i first year of living here in US.I had an experienced of snowstorm.I think it was 12-14 inches. I really enjoyed the first day of snowing .Im just like a kid playing outside with the snow flakes .I coudn't imagine falling from the sky and it feels a magic place like the wonderland hehehe.Snow are keep on falling and falling. At the next day morning. I can't believed it was almost levelled on my hips.I can't even see the car outside coz it's covered by the snow. What a great scenery, all around are white. I seen only this things on the movie but now it's really happen in reality.My hubby is really enjoyed my first expression of " Oh my God, i feel like im on the freezer" till now he keeps on teasing me if it is a winter season.How so amazing this place that where i live of having a snow. We got four seasons Falls,winter,spring and summer .Yeah! it's so nice of living with four seasons but it cost too much money .Imagine, we should have 4 different kinds of clothes or shoes in every seasons.
