sweet sweet New York. If theres 10 cities around the world that i want to visit, NY is definately one of them. I'm not a big fan of going to massive built up areas for "holidays", if its on the map then im less inclined to go there, but New York (NY) is different. Ok its busy (worst than London at christmas time), the subway isnt pretty but it works and you can't move for skyscrappers. However...
Central Park is amazing - its kind of like a hilly and bigger version of hyde park in London, Times Square is a mesmorising network of lights, people and shops like no other. The UN building is oddly run down - fittingly a crappy organisation has a crappy headquarters. The Rockefeller Centre towers above almost every other building. The Rock Plaza has an icerink standing below possibly the biggest christmas tree in the world - atleast 50ft. Bryant Park is typically christmas-y - yet another Ice Rink and festive stalls. Speaking of Ice Rinks, it seemed like a good chance to try my hand at ice skating but sense got the better of me. Standing outside the rock ice rink, set below the ground level with 100's of people watching where little kids were flying around like experts and everyone else was falling over or handrailing around the edge. Worse of all, people were pointing and mocking the poor fellows who couldnt stand up let alone make it around the rink.
Anyway enough about NY.
Happy Christmas Everyone!
