New York City, 12 July
Arrived very tired in New York after the 8hr flight from London, but I love it here.
The buzz and feel is quite different to the sleepy European destinations recently, and there is something more upbeat and positive about New York. Something Old London town does not have, and something I quite like. So surprising for me to actually like a city!
Wandering the streets is eye opening, many new things to see and hear, am really enjoying it!
Bring on the fatboy junk food!!!!

Hey that is a bit of a surprise. Maybe you should look for work in NYC? I'd love to live there for a while too.
Welcome to my favorite city, matey! Get your ipod and listen to some Paul Desmond while walking around Central Park.
*sigh*
I miss that place...
You love all that is NOT London! =p
Personally, I don't share the love. Not at all.
Iqbal, yeah I really quite like it in NYC, the people are totally nuts and the place is flat, busy and huge, but there is something I find much more exciting than dreary old London.
I think its the "new world" thing.
Or Maybe its all about first experiences, Shepherds Bush in the depths of winter is a miserable experience. If I had moved to Swiss Cottage that first week, maybe I would have loved London.
Dan, good tip mate, I watched lots of NY based TV during the nights so it was cool to see the places I had just discovered on TV and say - hey I know where that is now!
Central Park was lots of fun, lots of street theatre and a great feel about the place. vs say Regents or Hyde Park in London, which is all abit stale in comparison.
Desmondo would have been a good idea!
Jean, you are right, I do. I returned to London the other day and just rolled my eyes at the mess of it. Sweating in the tube pushed up against other people in the crush, then the "Eau de Londres" = pungent smell of urine - hit me on walking out of the tube, oh lovely.
NYC, hard to decipher the lines and directions at first, but its air-conditioned, enough said.
