I actually used to live right next to the Empire State building.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I&#8217;ve also got a view of the Brooklyn Bridge, also iconic and of course down on the streets the ubiquitous, the iconic New York City Yellow Taxi.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Empire State Building, iconic. That&#8217;s an adjective. It&#8217;s an icon, that&#8217;s a noun. Let&#8217;s read the definition of Icon.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A person or thing regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Veneration means praise like you love something. Wow, that is amazing, veneration. So an icon, a symbol of something. The Empire State Building is a symbol of New York. The Brooklyn Bridge, that&#8217;s iconic. The New York City Cab, that&#8217;s iconic. Also a person can be an icon.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">When I think of YouTube vloggers, I think of Casey Neistat. He&#8217;s my favorite, he is a icon. You can think right now about your field of study or your field that you work in, who is an icon in your field? in the month that I&#8217;m filming this it&#8217;s Black History Month in the US and I saw a video where someone was saying who are your black icons and I immediately thought Leontyne Price. She&#8217;s an opera singer, she is so commanding, so powerful I love her voice that woman is an icon. I use the word ubiquitous with NYC cabs, NYC taxis, cab and taxi, those mean the same thing. Ubiquitous means everywhere. Ubiquitous cabs in New York City. Water towers in the New York skyline, ubiquitous. Simply everywhere.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It&#8217;s also really fun to spy on people&#8217;s rooftops. These people have a bunch of Adirondack chairs, this one has a cute little outdoor table with a single chair, I wouldn&#8217;t mind having my morning coffee there.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now over here, they&#8217;ve just got a pile of debris a pile of junk.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">These poor people over here they will never see light. The sunlight will never get to them. Their building blocks it from the south and the building I&#8217;m in blocks it from the west, maybe they get a little bit from the east in the morning.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">An adirondack chair is made of wood or plastic and it takes this shape. In America you&#8217;ll see them on something like a back porch or somewhere where you just kind of want to relax and enjoy the view.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Junk. Debris. Notice that silent s in debris.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Debris is leftover pieces, sometimes scattered about. Here, the debris was in a pile and usually debris junk is something we think we&#8217;re going to throw away, we&#8217;re going to get rid of it. However, that debris looks heavy and I&#8217;m guessing it&#8217;s going to stay on that roof for decades.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">This morning I woke up and I walked to this cute little coffee shop and I got a latte and I didn&#8217;t know it but I ordered an extra special latte and it was $9. I was like, Oh my God, $9 for a Latte.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">So I&#8217;m here by myself, this is a solo trip. What? A treat. Unfortunately I do mostly have to work this weekend but I don&#8217;t even care. Just being on my own with my own schedule is such a luxury. You know as a parent I always say if I had to define parenting in one sentence, it would be never getting to do what you want to do. I&#8217;m always doing what my kids need me to do. So to have a weekend here by myself to just let the weekend flow, figure out what I need to do and just kind of let it happen, that&#8217;s a real treat. That is luxury.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Luxury is an interesting word because the letter X usually is pronounced two different ways. KS like in box or GZ like in exam. But in luxury, lug it&#8217;s not GZ but it&#8217;s G-zh, a slightly different sound. Definitely I feel like you will also hear people say luxury with a sh, SH sound but right now I can&#8217;t think of any other words where the X makes this sound combination. Luxury.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Anyway, since I mostly have to work this weekend I&#8217;m going to go out right now grab some food, probably get some lunch and something to eat for dinner so I don&#8217;t have to go out again, so I can just focus on work and work with no breaks. So let&#8217;s go get something to eat.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Hi, um what&#8217;s the one that&#8217;s, yeah kimbap.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Um, I want vegetarian.
