Dear all, Staying in Brooklyn is wonderful, the area that my friend lives in is quiet and beautiful and has lots of great streets to wander around. On Sunday I woke up early and went to get a cup of coffee at the Tea Lounge. . I arrived at about quarter to nine and stayed there for hours. It was pretty empty when I got there so I settled in with a large coffee, a croissant and my writing. After an hour or so I looked around and realised that the whole place had filled up behind me. The coffee was [View Full Entry]

Good Morning, I am sittting in my friend's spare room in Brooklyn, watching the rain and trying to convince myself that I want to go back to sleep. It is 07.00am but my body is convinced that it's nearly lunch time. The flight yesterday dragged on, I didn't open my book once and watched both movies that I didn't really want to see. Luckily for me there were very few people on the flight so I could stretch out across two seats. The bathroom nearest to me had a door which stuck so that you had to throw your whole weight [View Full Entry]

Hi guys, Well here we are, live out of NYC! It's great here! The weather -at least today- is (unfortunately) not too good, but the city is still brilliant! Our first night in town we went to Times Square to have dinner at an Italian restaurant, very tasty :). Times Square is still impressive, all those lights, so many people, it's very very cool. So yesterday we went to an art gallery in Chelsea, totally different side of NYC, it's more like "the real NY", but hmm, I think I still prefer the other NY then ;-). The gallery itself was [View Full Entry]

As some of you might know, after leaving Christies in San Diego we made a rather abbreviated tour of the southwestern US. It was a lot harder leaving San Diego than we had anticipated and getting back on the road was slow going. From the comfort of a couch, with hot food and running water, we made grandiose plans on how the remainder of the trip would unfold. Initially, we had planned to go as far as possible til the money ran out or it stopped being fun. It didnt really stop being fun per se, it just became a routine. [View Full Entry]

My U.S. Trip! 27 Sept 2008 - SIN - NY Finally here!!! I have been saving for 2 yrs in order to go on this trip, both cash and Krisflyer miles (240,000) I was so excited we get to fly on the all new Business Class direct flight on Singapore Airline; and this made 17 hrs flights from Singapore to Newark a breeze. We count ourselves very lucky to be on it as SIA has discontinued redemption on this direct flight. I made my reservation since Oct 2007 before the new rule kicks in, and they honor it. (Kiasu has its [View Full Entry]

As I stepped off the plane at JFK airport, I was literally humming the famous tune… ‘Start spreading the news, I’m leaving today. I want to be a part of it, New York, New York!’ My spirits refused to be dampened by the turbulent flight I’d had across the Atlantic, nor the lengthy immigration queues that greeted me once I’d finally touched down and the subsequent grilling and fingerprinting routine all passengers were subject to on arrival in the ‘land of the free’. When the subject of travelling to NYC was first raised by a friend back home, my [View Full Entry]
