Reading this entry made me laugh, I have left it mostly the same as when I wrote it. Note for Mum, I don't think I actually slept on a park bench, I have more of my memory back now, so I know I sat down and had a little power nap!
Hey,
Excuse any spelling mistakes because its 6:20 in the morning here and well i guess i better say it...i have no idea where i am....
Yesterday was my last real full day in NY...i had a blast...started off by meeting a could of Irish guys and girls at breakfast they were Naomi and Henry, here for a week. We decided that we were going ice skating in the morning to Central Park Ice skating rink, it was a blast and we had a ball. I had 2 museums to see for the day so they came along to the MOMA (Metropolitian Museam of Modern Art) with me...we had a halfanhour hunt around for pizza first because after all the exercise at the ice skating we needed food... The MOMa was interesting and there was some stuff i really liked there..i took some great photos but got in trouble with a lot of the security guards there...Apparently you are not meant to stand too close to the paintings...but great photos none the less..
I followed that up with a visit to the American National Museal of Natureal History. Whisch was pretty cool to see dinorsors and everything but by that stage i was buggered and need a power nap. I had arranged to catch up with Naomi and henry later in that night for a drink... this leads me to my current predicament....
Oh I forgot ...I also was on Good Morning America and saw Natile Portman and Machlie Caulckin, who has decided to write a book for some reason...it was great..they are both shorter than I thought I actually feel really Tall compared to them. So Mum Recored it if you see it because i was in the audience.
But to where I am now...the actual truth is I have no Idea...I woke up in a park and there was this Internet cafe near by so that is were i am.. I remember that i Met up with the 2 Irish in their hotel near Chealsa and had a drink there. they where great people and we went out for a drink in the gayest part of Manhattan...Henry is gay so he loved it...we managed to break in to a McDonalds which was open..so...you can imagine our level of intoxation..we had drunk a bottle of Vodka before we left...After that place we headed to Bleeker St, which is in south of NY..I recommend anyone go there because its a blast...met heaps of people and had a great time...i think...i cant really remember much after the bottle of vodka...I know at some state both Naomi and Henry got a piercing...thankfully I managed to avoid the random piercing of the night. Naomi got one on the back of her neck and I am sure that she will feel the pain of it today...But we had a drink at a few places along that street..met a whole bunch of really friendly Americans....But I have no idea what happened after that.. I know I started the night with $14 left but i noticed this morning i had an extra 50 in my wallet..and I have no idea where it came from...I still have my original 14 as well... So i have no idea who paid for all the drinks I was having...
I woke up about 20 minutes ago on a bench in some place on 5th avenue..a pretty trendy place to wake i know...but i have no idea how i arrived there and no idea where i am...i still have all my stuff so I am doing ok...I have also had 2 offers of accomadation already...people think I am a homeless backpacker thanks to my Australian badge on my jacket..Soo on the whole people are friendly!
Hopefully ill find a subway station near here as i need to get to the airport in about 4 hours...Ami, sorry but i think will need to sleep heaps when i get to Edinburgh...I am so tired...
Lots of Love,
Chris
Hope everyone is having as much fun as me!!
