new york, new york!

The self click in the city that never sleeps- Too much energy here! went on long walks- sometimes till 3 am, all over 5th, 6th and 7th avenue in the times square area, combed the streets from penn station till metropolitan museum of art along central park, bodies exhibition (finally I saw what I have studied for ten years), moma (the museum itself is a work of art), madame tussauds (they worked on the stubble for godsake), the Apple store on 5th avenue (do not miss this if you are an Apple fan and happen to be in times square).

Dropped in at wall street. A self click with the bronze bull was on the list for a very long time. My chinese sign is the ox and I like the aggressive stance of the wall street bull over the much tame, relaxed, feng shui bull. People climb on him, hang onto his horns, squat between his hind legs to get photographed. Had the poor thing been alive, there would have been a blood bath there.
300 pictures in 6 days- which do I upload?! Ok, will dose it up slowly :). I really missed the world trade centre- what a sight that would have been. Did go past ground zero though. Its amazing that such a behemoth construction was managed in such a small area.
The thought that ran through my mind all the time was- when will India makes its own times Square? We have the stuff to create it... some day I guess... anyways... All thanks to my colleagues and fab place of work for this trip.
