Being a Tourist is good and bad. Good because you can get you camera out and do touristy stuff without looking like a doofus, Bad because ALL NEW YORKERS HATE TOURISTS!

You cant ask anyone for help as they will direct you the wrong way. and so it goes on. So out comes the map every ten seconds. My new pet hate is people with push chairs out beyond 6 o`clock. Your child does NOT want to be there seeing the lights at 11.45 at night. Thats WHY the damn thing is crying!

Rant over, NEW YORK IS AMAZING! I am having the best time here just taking things easy, shopping ( i know Dad but the only Debt is Regret) eating and sightseeing. I am trying to be healthy as well. I had a healthy day yesterday. Banana and Water for Brek, Wrap for lunch and....i dont think i had dinner yest....I had a coke at the Cinema but that was it. Oh yeah American Cinema ROCKS! I went to see the Clone Wats Animation with my friend Dave.

Ok, last few days, Me, Lindsay, Rachel and Dave did ALOT in one day around new york. We did the Statue of Liberty properly on the Staten Island Ferry.
We shopped in Macys (largest store in the world), i say shopped, none of us actually bought anything. But me and Dave tried on a calvin Klien suit and a Donald J Trump suit. Both were easliy over $800. We then qued up for AGES to see the top of the Empire State. Was AMAZING im actually so glad i did it! Got some really good photos, unfortunatly there is no card readers here for my camera. So no photos until i gets back. Bummer...

Me and Dave then went back to take a shower and change and we then went out to dinner at the Hard Rock. That was an ace dinner, could have been better service though but hey! Bought a souvineer beer mug, hope its gunna get home in one peice. I might put it in my hand luggage.

Yesterday me and Dave planned to have an easy day in Central Park just chilling, with a bit of shopping at the beginning. It ended up being a shopping day with a little bit of Central Park. Spent almost a $100 in American Eagle outfitters! Love that place! Going to Fifth Avenue tomorrow so that should be a good day. Abercrombie and Fitch NYC here we come! Hahaha i will try not to spend too much. Its very hard when everything here is HALF THE PRICE STUFF IS IN THE UK! A premium brand like Billabong or quiksilver is $20 ten fricking quid! You would`nt get one in TKMAX for 20 quid! I bought my new suitcase today, $40 and its going to be well used.

Im going to bed now as its almost midnight!

love love love!
