Not very much time to visit New York - I could have spent so much time here, there is so much to do. But spending my few days wandering up and down the streets, and taking a boat ride around the island of Manhatten, I got a fair idea of the town. It´s rather huge and overwhelming, I must admit. So busy! Everyone is always saying how New York seems so familiar, because one has seen it so many times in all the movies - and yes I guess there is some of that.... In general I found it was more in listening to americain people on the street that I felt that moment of recognition - snatches of dialoge, phrases that I was sure were made up expressively for Americain movies, but no, they actually say those things!
In New York, I managed to meet up with a friend, Laura from New Zealand, because her mum had seen on our facebook profiles that we were in NY at the same time. What a coincidence! Thanks Judy! We went on a 3 hour cruise together, and spent the time catching up. See you for New Year, Laura!
