More New York

Sorry, no photos yet blogfans but they will come soon. New York is still amazing me, everything is so big, the food, the buildings, the people (well some of them). Have spent the last couple days walking miles, went to MOMA (Museum of Modern Art), walked round Harlem (nowhere near as rough as the part of Brooklyn i'm currently staying in-a taxi driver refused to take me there last night!), been wowed by Times Square, the UN building and many more. Went to my first Couch Surfing event www.couchsurfing.com and met a bunch of locals and other travellers. Its a resource to bring people together who are either travelling or want to meet travellers from around the world, will be staying with one of them tomorrow night which is very kind. Have met loads of random people, New Yorkers seem to be very kind, despite the common perception of them abrupt and too busy to help i am finding quite the opposite, complete strangers have gone oput of their way to help me several times already when i have been lost (often!), one person even kindly escorted me from the subway to the restaurant i was looking for!

It's a truly wonderful city, basically London x1000 and then some more. Loads more to do here so signing out for now.
