Manhattan New York, the big apple and so much more (Part 3: Madame Tussad continued)

(pictures continued from the previous post)


I'm not too sure if Mikey's pleased with Jiahao's pose.


With President Roosevelt, perhaps the most influential man of his time.


William and Henry's long-lost brother?! Prince Li?!


Spielberg's apprentice from Singapore.


The wax model of Captain Jack Sparrow's resemblance to Johnny Depp is uncanny! I swear we'll probably be unfazed if it suddenly moves.


This has got to be my favourite picture from Madame Tussad's, running neck to neck with Jesse Owens!






Jiahao's hilarious (and maybe a tad spastic) poses with the wax models.



If you were to look closer, the background of this set does not seem to make any sense. The rest of the cyclists all seem to be cycling in the opposite direction from Lance Armstrong.


Allan's advise to Woods? "How many times do you want me to say?! Use the Force on the next stroke! Forget it, just get this man a Tiger!"


Standing next to an idol.


I'm not sure if the man of steel likes his new sidekick...

The three of us finally left Madame Tussad's after spending close to half a day in the wax museum. We thought of going to the Empire State's building next, but as the next picture will show you, our hopes were dashed.



Much to our frustration and horror, a long line had already formed at the ticket booth of the Empire State building. To avoid wasting any time on the queue, the three of us decide to come back another day instead. We made our way to the ticket office to get Broadway tickets instead. Allan wanted to watch the Phantom of the Opera, Jiahao wants to watch Lion King while I craved for Les Miserables. As luck would have it, I won! Both the Phantom of the Opera and Lion King were either sold out or shown on the day we're leaving Manhattan. Even Les Miserables was perilously close to a sell out. We got ourselves the most expensive tickets and were utterly thrilled about it (although Allan and Jiahao were visibly disappointed to miss their shows). After the spending the entire morning at Madame Tussad's, we decided to find a restraunt to have our lunch, and recharge for the itineraries planned for the rest of the day.
