NYC - THE RUN DOWN

So I just got back from an epic trip to NYC and believe it or not the whole time I was there I was disconnected to the internet. Thus I apologize for the lack of activity on this here blog. This trip must have been one of the most spontaneous decisions I've ever undertaken as I booked my flight one week before flying without knowing if my passport would suffice for the strict US regulations and if I'd be having a place to crash. Long story short, I was able to enjoy one week of amazing hospitality from on of my friends who lived uptown in Harlem. It was awesome to have the streets of Harlem at night being the first sights I had of this amazing city. Not that it was dangerous or I was scared, lets just say the sight of a lost tourist with all his luggage at night is not a common sight. The people were more than helpful to give me directions.

I had just a week to enjoy everything the city has to offer and seem pretty proud of myself for getting all the typical tourist stuff done and enjoying some more of the local pastimes. One of those small things I'm more proud of is the fact that I had my first 40oz of Malt Liquor (followed by a few more in the succeeding days) which is not available in Europe. Ever since watching various films set in South Central LA in the nineties, I always wondered what it tasted like and man does it get you where you need to get going.

Apart from that I was able to enjoy all the culture the museums had to offer, insanely tall skyscrapers, the company of the good people that are trying going to become future actors, student parties, amazing - seriously amazing food from all cultures of the world in insane proportions, the New York accent, the deli's, the beautiful people and being over 21 and being able to play beer pong in a bar whilst watching the Giants win during Sunday night football made it truly a week to remember.

With that said. I'm back bitches.

PS: I will try to put some of the photos I took as soon as I get my cameras developed (yes, I still use film).
