NEW YORK

---

Had about 3 days in New York which was good and went to Greenwich and the East Village. Also went to Coney Island which was good fun. It is in Brooklyn and is a beach / fun fair town (a bit like the place from Lost Boys).

I went to a Sideshow there which was bizarre....... Fire eating / sword juggling. Anyway one of the 'bits' was this girl swallowed a 2 foot knife (I’m not exaggerating), and she picked me to come up on stage so when she bent down I had to pull the knife out of her mouth. Really bizarre and also embarrassing going up in front of everyone and then really nervous that I would hurt her. Was very weird though as you could feel the pressure of pulling it out of her.

Whilst in New York I also went into a bar and ended up teaming up and playing darts with 3 Americans - was good fun and I wasn't too bad - until the Long Island Ice Teas - started working there magic and I thought I could end up throwing it and stabbing someone - so I decided to stop.
