The joy of birdwatching through Central Park, New York is so evidently displayed by Mr Christian Cooper in the video above. There was an incident that took place at a spot called the Rambles between him and a lady who was later dismissed by her employer. It appeared that the lady filed a legal suit against her employer for wrongful/illegal dismissal which was dismissed and it was reported that the appeals court in New York, USA refused to reinstate the lawsuit. Mr Christian Cooper has since gone on to pen a New York Times best-seller titled "Better Living through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World" and you can read about his interview with The Cornell Lab HERE. I hope I can rediscover the Natural World the way Mr. Christian Cooper has done after undergoing such adversities. Digressing to food, after dropping off my sister who is working in Singapore at the KLIA airport, I had stomach indigestion from a donut bought at the Dunkin Donuts branch along Mex highway (near Seri Kembangan exit) when I was driving towards the airport from KL. Note to Self:- No more donuts from that branch! Had a pleasant lunch the following day at Ipoh Vintage in Nu Sentral. Their branch here serves what I thought were quite authentic Ipoh dishes (as pictured below). Their website is available HERE. The KL Botanical Park (Lake Gardens) is the nearest park to Nu Sentral. I did my GBD within the periphery of the park in 2018 which can be read HERE. It would be one of my ultimate dream come true to visit Central Park in New York and go birdwatching there 🐦. Perhaps a pit stop on the way to more birdwatching adventures in Central or South America or just on a work-related trip.
