Meet Mario!

Today we went to the city coz my mom was applying for a Canadian visa. We were at the consulate at 9am and was there for over 3 hours (-_-*) Since only applicants were allowed inside, Finn and I had to wait outside. He was playing with his DS while I was listening to my music.

After 10am one of my co-actors, Jo, in last year's The Vagina Monologues came to see me. It's been over a year since we saw each other last but we keep in touch thru plurk, twitter, and our blogs (^_^) We parted ways before lunch. Had lunch at Dean & DeLuca right across Nintendo World. After lunch, you know where we went (~_^) And lucky us, Mario was there! Not the real physical mascot Mario but Mario on screen, inside the virtual Nintendo World, talking to people. So Finn was there talking to him almost the whole time we were there. He kept telling Mario about the games he has played and the techniques he uses and what happens in the story and all that, and Mario was simply amazed! He kept telling Finn how amazing he is because he knows more about Mario games than most people he knows, especially at 6 years old (^_^) He also got to talk to Wario. Then Finn wanted to play the games so he said see you later to Mario. After playing, he went back to talk to him again and show him the Super Mario backpack he bought. We also asked Mario to say hi to his dad on the phone (^_^)



At 2pm, Mario said it was time for him to have lunch so he said goodbye to everyone. We were lucky Mario was there today. Last time we were at NW, he wasn't. Hopefully the next time we go there (when my siblings are here) he'll be there too. I bet if we lived in NYC, we'd be at NW everyday (^_^)

We left NW at around 3pm and went to M&Ms World and Hershey's. Hershey's wasn't a big deal, nothing much to see. But M&Ms World was great! They have every color imaginable for M&Ms and lots and lots of merchandise. I just bought a magnet set and Finn had to have a bag of M&Ms with colors that he chose.

After that we went back to Port Authority to rest and have popcorn and soda while waiting for Jojo. Fun day!
