A Piece Of New York 4U...

Haven't had that much time to any sight seeing... been mostly work... but little I have enjoyed here are some snapshots...
The Reason why I am here in the first place...; )
Times Square...
Flat Iron Building...
Fashion Books to buy on the Street...
Ok...So let me tell you a little story about this pic...a story that made me question my woman hood... So here I am trying to take an innocent snapshot with my mobile phone... All of a sudden I hear this black woman screaming...screaming...screaming... on top of her voice... only to realise that she is screaming right at ME!?!!?!?!? "STOP F****NG TAKING PICTURES OF ME!!! GO BACK TO YOUR COUNTRY YOU CHINESE!!! " I look at her, a bit confused as how would I know that she is talking to me?!?!?(she is calling me chinese, and I am not!) Anyways, when I realise it is me she is referring to I 'politely' answer back: "I am not from China but from Sweden... SHE then replies, as loud as she possibly can: SWEDEN?!?!?! YOU ARE CHINESE AND YOU ARE NOT EVEN A WOMAN - YOU ARE A MAN!!!! GO BACK TO CHINA!!! Instead of answering back I just ignored her... for all I know she could have been a crack head... but boy I should have just said well if I am a man then you are a monkey! (is just as unlikely of a statement but it would be a fair statement for me to say after all her abuse...!) I always rave about New Yorkers being super nice etc etc... this made me question my previous statement ever so slightly...thank god I haven't started questioning my sex...
Good Old American HamBurger Joint!
COW patterned seats... how appropriate in a burger joint!
A proper burger is a MUST whilst in the states... there is nothing like it! However, have to admit that i got a bit dissapointed...it actually didn't taste that great!?!? Well I have had proper once since thank god, so my image of good old American burgers still exist...; )
Found this great little cafe with free internet! Called RBC and is just off Church Street
Trying to blog... but didn't manage to for that long as I had a catchup SKYPE chat with my supergood friend Linda.
More to come soon!
