 I really love it there! The people are (generally) really friendly and the atmosphere is like nowhere else I've ever been.

NY is a great city. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Please, please America, sort your bloody tea out. Tea leaves should remain separate when wet in the bag, not turn to pulp which refuses to brew. Also, please start importing Cadbury's chocolate. Much appreciated.

:lol: personally I like herbal tea. And we can get Belgian chocolate so great choclate can be had here. In fact Anything can be had in NY if you know where to look.

And all the complements from locals about my bleach blonde mohican and Union Jack DMs more than made up for the lack of decent tea and chocolate ;-)

I had a friend who had 40 hole Doc Martins!

and how did they like your tattoo   :-D

believe me, New Yorkers are used to seeing all sorts of "odd" and interesting things and people.....we enjoy the view

You better go to my place for coffee, since I have mastered the art of making espresso :-)
When I went to GB I always drank coffee at home (well, my sis' home that is)

It's a deal!
I'm sure your coffee is so good my mother would approve (that's the coffee lover in my family)

Don't tell me you also love carrot-cake ;-)

I'm actually now quite interested in NY...
Isn't it too much of a hassle to go to NY? Getting a visa and all that kind of stuff?

Strangly enough (and happily so) my relatives from Belgium are planning a visit later this year.

My mother is literally jumping for joy    :lol:

I'm compiling a list of hotels right now - the US dollar is in the [d]s**t[/d] house so it's cheaper for the rest of the world to visit me   :lol:

And that's the reason why I want to go to NY, to see the free, weird side of life. :-)

the best place for that is The Village

you will love it!!

They don't sell Cadbury's there? Hm. Might have to rethink the entire I'll-visit-the-US-sometime-once-I-can-afford-it thing...

trust me, NY has Cadbury - I've had it!  :-D

We never found Greenwich Village.

here's a map for future travels.

But the Meatpacking District sounded quite appealing ;-)

Oh, MY!!   :-D

And I never saw any Cadbury's chocolate. Believe me I would have snapped it up if I had seen it. Maybe American chocolate is an acquired taste, but it still tastes like dog chocolate to me - no offence! :-P

american chocolate is nothing speacial. I've been to the hersey factory in Pennsylvania years ago and when that chocolate is fresh it tastes fine. But, frankly, once you have tasted Belgian chocolate why bother with 2nd best.
Cadbury is very nice.

you really can find ANYTHING in NY. But it's all about knowing where to look.

[cecilia]

 :lol:

oh, yeah! that's NY all right!!

one of my favorite "sights" in Times Square is the infamous Nakid Cowboy.
yes, he is real, he does sing and loves posing with the ladies.

no, I never pinched his bottom.

at least not yet  :-D

Er, so wearing underwear is called being naked in the USA? There must a lot of nude beaches over there :p.

Yes, I was also hoping to see more....

me too - but there's a bunch of religious uptight folks in these parts.

sigh  :roll:
