New York, New York!


Well, after a nice flight on ANA (which I must still mention did not have nearly as much legroom as the Emirates flight I took from Cyprus to Japan but did offer a very nice entertainment system and I watched the Japanese movie "Hero" with English subtitles) here I am in New York. Fortunately I did not really get any jetlag thanks to sleeping a solid 8 hours on the plane...


Tonight I was in New York City after about a year. I must say it felt a bit underwhelming unfortunately. May be because it was Mother's Day, because it was a Sunday night or because of experiencing Tokyo that The City did not feel as unique an experience as before. There were markedly less people on the streets, many more police officers than before, we had a very difficult time finding a place to eat something after 12 even on the main streets and we barely found an open bar.


I should turn in - it is almost 3 am and tomorrow I will try to wake up relatively early so as not to miss the day. More on Port Washington tomorrow...

Well, no offense to anyone but your legs are longer than the average Japanese's ANA was probably designed for. :P
