Hello New York! :)

Hi guys!

Here is my first post in New York, made with my fresh-out-of-the-Flagship-Apple-Store @ Fifth Avenue- iPad 2 White! :P
We had a nice and calm flight; with minimum turbulences. British Airways is really a nice aviation company.
When we arrived at the J.F. Kennedy Airport, the weather was quite gloomy. We took a yellow taxi cab to our hotel in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. When the cab passed through Harlem, I was quite happy our hotel wasn't stationed at that area; I would definitely not feel safe there. Our hotel is alright for the money we paid, a nice budget hotel. The only thing is: we have a shitty toilet. It doesn't flush toilet paper and it's nearly impossible to take a big dump there. Aside the toilet there is a trash bin where you have to throw your used paper in. Actually, all New York toilets are quite nasty. :S

But enough with the toilets, let's talk about the journey itself. After arrival at the hotel I took a shower while Boy and Dope went patrolling the area. Since we were dead tired from the flight, we ate at the McDonald's near our hotel and went back to our room to sleep.

We woke up at 6AM the next day and went out of the hotel at around 7.30AM. We travelled to Time Square and walked around for a bit (most of the stores were still closed). After Time Square we went to Fifth Avenue to check out the Apple Flagship Store. We couldn't find the store at first, so after a lot of hussle we took a cab. The iPad 2 was first sold out but the store clerk told us to drop by later the day since they expect a restock. So we walked down the Fifth of Avenue again....

I will tell the rest of my first day tomorrow, since the Starbucks is closing for today!!!
