New York

Well, to kill memorial day weekend we headed up to New York. To quote Mr. Stick Stickley from Nicelodeon, New York City is in New York State, zip code 10108. We're on the economic trip plan, the biggest expenses so far being the 20 dollar bus fare, a 7 dollar metro pass, a 10 dollar belt buckle from Chinatown emblazoned with MEXICO and free room and board complements of Steve's friends that live here in Queens. There is a lot to do here in New York, but all of it seems to involve running into crowds of people that don't speak english and sucking down stale urine and secondhand smoke fumes. New York is breathtaking in it's size and diversity, but never a place I could call home. So yeah, good trip but I'm glad i don't live here.
