crazy 3-hour transfer bus to hotel on times square because the driver's radio didn't work so he didn't know where he was going.
But,.. a room on 39th floor overlooking the neon lights of Times Square. Which itself is a bit of a sight to be beheld. Literally it's as bright as day, 24 hours a day. Not great for global warming admittedly, but quite pretty.
Drank cocktails til 6am english time woke up to applause... so...

walked the length of central park bought an ipod from the coolest apple store in the world ate at Applebees - all food in america tastes like it's been processed, reprocessed and then put through some sort of process.
Went up the empire state building of course.
Ate at Bubba Gumps (got all the questions right on their Forrest Gump quiz despite being filled with margharitas)
went to the museum of sex and had my eyes both willingly opened and forcably shut.
met Hiro Nakamura and Peter Petrelli from Heroes I am a geek and comfortable with it.

Ash Atalla producer of The Office was on my flight
and I sat next to Megan Dodds from Spooks and Not Going Out
slept a little.
spent a lot.
drank a little.
ate a lot.
ache and smile all over.
New York is fucking insane.
And I landed at 6:30 this morning and came straight to work so now i'm sleepy tired like a little baby girl. Will never commute 4000 miles again.
