Gadern State, New Jersey - Sunrise for Farewell

The time was 5:21am. The sun already woke up when my friend, F and me were on the way to the Newark Airport @ New Jersey. Unlike F, I am a night owl rather than an early bird. Thus, sunrise is very rare in my life.


17 mins later, we arrived the airport while the sun was still climbing up.




After saying good bye to F, it's around d 6:15am. Time to explore Manhattan again even I was in "blur blur" mode. U know, there were too many to see but time was limited.

This necklace combines diamonds and emeralds was owned by an Indian Maharajah. Is there any story behind?


Yellow diamond is rare. According to the never failed demand and supply theory, yellow diamond is thus highly priced. No wonder the value of this jewelry set does mean a fortune.


Followed by the drop of value from germs section to mineral section, the size of crowd was sharply reduced.
