8/15
I had planned to go to the biggest outlet in the east coast of USA—Woodbury. First, I took subway to Penn Station then transferred NJ transit to Harriman station in New Jersey. When I arrived at the Harriman station, it’s almost 11. As I got off the train, I could only see a large parking lot. How about Woodbury? I randomly asked a guy, he gave me some direction and I followed by walking. I don’t know how far it is actually. I walked on a country road for about 5 minutes, and then the guy I asked for direction drove a car and stopped by. He said he would like to give me a ride. Wow! I was too happy to utter any words. Thanks to his help, it only took less then ten minutes to get to the outlet. This is the only time I would be willing to become a free rider.
The outlet is located in a valley (it’s surrounded by mountains, now you have to believe your eyes, but this place is really weird for an outlet). Tthere are more than 200 stores such as Burberry, Gucci in this place.
I spent whole day in the Woodbury for sure. I hang out lots of stores such as Tommy Hilfiger, J-crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, Timberland and Nautica over and over again. But finally I just bought two clothes in Tommy. After all, Window shopping saves money.
I left at almost nine and I had to walk back to Harriman station. This time, no more free ride. It took me almost 50 minutes to get to there. During this 50 minutes, I walked by the dark, no-people country road by myself. It really scary to walked alone. I’m glad I survived!
I took the train at 10:30 and returned to the hostel at around 12:30.
