True Story of How a New York Waterfall became an Icecream

Saturday night we (Stacey, Abhishek, Alyssa and Kay) went looking for the New York waterfalls ... didn't know the city has waterfalls? It had three, done by the Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson (an icelandic artist sounds like someone who would be able to create waterfalls, right?). Okay, they weren't quite real (but then again, nothing in New York is). One of them was under the Brooklyn Bridge. We went to see it on its last day, but it wasn't there. Ack! Switched off early? Switched off in respect of the plunge of Wall Street (not too far away)? I am still not sure, but there was no waterfall.

To console ourselves, we did the obvious: went into Chinatown, and gave the evening a happy ending with vegetarian dim sum and delicious ice cream to celebrate the Indian Summer.
