Strange as they are.

Current location: New York City

Everyone must drink black coffee here. Cappucino's are like close to the bottom of the list and latte's are almost non-existent. They also don't have long blacks. Just short - and they are just known as espressos. Ok, so a typical coffee menu looks like this (in reference to actual cafes, not corporations like Starbucks - which is like a virus because it's everywhere!!!). Brewed coffee, something else, something else, tea, espresso, double espresso, cappucino, etc etc.

In Starbucks, may I also mention, a cappucino is 5c less than a coffee frap. It must seem like cappucino's are like a delicacy or something - not an everyday ordered thing?

Moving on!
Yesterday we did laundry in the morning and then followed by an afternoon stroll down Broadway in Soho. We definetly need more time there!! We barely scratched the surface...
Came home for some dinner and then dressed up and went to Time Square.

I tried to upload some pics (and I have) but Blogger has full on stuffed up their image uploading system and so they aren't here. Hopefully I will put them up another day when I can get my ass around to.

Time Square - you gotta be there to really experience it. It looks fantastic on post cards, in film and on TV but it's nothing close to standing right in the center with all the lights going off around you. It's like this HUGE concentration of light in less than 500 sq m of space. It's absolutely stunning and a complete feast for the eyes. We got there at around 10.30pm and the place was PACKED. We were there until half past 12 and it was still packed. And you know what's also on Time Square?? The Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.!!! As in one in Forrest Gump! It's an actual restaurant with this cute shrimp as their mascot. It's great. So thematic.

We were on the subways at around 1am-ish and it felt like it could have been 3pm in the afternoon. Totally normal. Totally safe. You couldn't even do this in Melbourne... Well I would feel rather dodge.
