Ten bucks won’t buy much these days. In Reykjavik, it’ll
get you a bowl of oatmeal at Cafe Hresso or one and a half
pints of beer. But in NYC, $10 is enough for a one-way tick-
et to Boston on board a luxury bus.
I’m talking about Fung Wah Bus Transportation Inc, the self-
proclaimed largest bus service provider between NY and
Boston.
But that’s not all. You can also enjoy a classic Chinese movie
while you travel. Yippee.
If after a few days in Boston you begin to miss home, dig through
your pockets for that ten-dollar bill, walk to 68 Beach Street in
Chinatown, and catch a ride back to NYC.

On the Road Again
If you are travelling through NYC and look-
ing for a legal sensory overload, head to
the Flower District where it’s springtime
every day of the year. It’s also a refreshing
break from the steel and concrete of the
city.
Located off Sixth Avenue in the upper 20s,
the Flower District, one of the few remain-
ing single-trade districts in NYC, is akin to
Bloemenmarkt in Amsterdam, an explo-
sion of colour and freshness, a fragrant
rush to the senses.
