Irene's cool Manhattan skyline pic![21 Photo Journal Entries of New York City]
[Jason's Streetball Blog in NYC]

We spent a week and a half in NYC just recently and fell in love with the city!

Jill (whom we stayed with in South Carolina) put us onto her friend Abi who lives & works in NYC and Abi hooked us up royally - we spent a lot of time hanging out with her (and her friends!) and we even got to spend an entire weekend house-sitting in her manhattan apartment!!!!! Thanks sooo much Abi, getting food delivery and living in a New York studio was an awesome experience!

While we were there, Irene got to do a lot of sight-seeing where she took ferries around Manhattan, got skyline photo's of the NYC skyline & checked a number of museums (MoMA, Metropoliton Museum of Art). Irene also managed to get on MTV (in an audience) & almost made a letterman appearance (missed out by one place in the line). At the same time, I (Jason) used the location as an excuse to play basketball every day and had a ball doing so.

While we were there, we also caught up with Jason's ex-Pacific Access work-mate Mike Booth & we purchased loads of Pizza Slices & street-meat (they have street vendors who sell awesome souvlaki, salads, hot dogs etc.).

New York is an amazing place - it would be a great place to live if given the opportunity. It is such a vibrant, diverse & happening place.. Always something to do.
