NY rundown

What i saw:

• cockroach in the apartment
• a mouse or rat (it was dark and we couldn't really tell...)
• huge pigeons and lots of them
• wacky people performing on the subway (although not entirely new since i have seen people do that on the L here in chicago)
• men letting the gross pigeons land on their head/body;in fact they were encouraging them (GROSS!)
• a woman treating the squirrels like her kids,calling them "sweetie, little lady,sweetheart" and acting as though she has known them for forever
• TONS of foreign tourists,i mean really, it is hard to find someone walking down the street that does speak english :)
• super sweet people (women though since that is all i would ask) who would answer me nicely when i had a subway stop question
• trash
• LOADS of smokers, I thought people knew it was bad for you...
• cabs,cabs and more taxi cabs
• people playing a cello, guitar,etc in Central Park or on the subway/subway platforms
• spiderman and statue of liberty impersonators.

 Seeing all this funny stuff just enriched my trip :) It was a great first time visit to NY!
