Happy friday folks ;)

Sorry playing Forza 2 :-D

Ah cheers Kawada.

Yeah only there for a few days so pretty limited in what I can see ... was under the impression Niagra was hours away and the guide books advised not renting a car as if you're not a local it can be a nightmare driving. Not sure how true that is.

Will have to draw up an itinerary - don't want to go too touristy as I don't think you get a true feeling of the culture that way, but then I don't want to get lost either ... have to have some structure to what I'm going to do, but keep it flexible if you know what I mean.

Highly, highly looking forward to it though :D

Yea make sure you make a plan and timeline because you don't want to waste a whole day just doing one thing when you can do about 10 in another area. The Canadian part of the falls are much better anyway, if anything i'd suggest getting a flight to NY then from Toronto and just pop over and go see the Falls there

Also try and master the art of the subway as you'll get around the city far faster than taking a cab.

Oh and definitely don't drive yourself

Yeah the subway sounds like a winner, though it seems a bit daunting ... don't know how it compares to London, I did alright there ... providing I have a map I'm hoping I should be ok.

It's ok, it's pretty easily mapped out so you'll be able to understand, the only daunting thing is standing around reading the routes when you've got a bunch of NY'ers rushing around in a hurry trying to get where they have to go bumping into you and stuff

I found the subway far better organised than the Tube. Cleaner too. Mind you, I tried to avoid rush hours!

Aye it sucks when you're blatantly an outsider ... can't be helped though I guess ... short of memorising a map of the city and tube :)

Going to have to see what night life is on offer on the saturday too, see how it compares to here ... don't know what to expect at all, but getting lost and wandering into harlem at 1am sunday is a no no ...

You should try the MRT in Singapore. It's by far the most organised and cleanest around. Infact I quite enjoy it.

That's because our public transport sucks more than any other in the world :)

Wandering into Harlem at any time is a no no :-D
