Nooo York Noo York!
Hello America uncle Galol is here as promised and loving it so far! Except for two things: the tea suucks and I am an addict; breakfasts cost an arm and a leg ($32 for two) and the telephone system is lousy. So friends I promised to call please bear with me.
And if the kids thought I was fat before then I got a hell lot fatter since last nite - the portions here are megasized.
And how come US internet is way more expensive than that of the UK? And why oh why are they obsessed with what they call `blacks' when giving directions? walk two blacks and turn riiide at thiird black?
PS: FF baby yes I as sure as mother of hell after you now BIIIIIIG time, as promised.

Nice to hear from you, Galol. My brother was there, playing good punk rock in Brooklyn two years ago and he told me that NY was some kind of weird, fantastic, amazing city.
I'm right now in Hammamet, Tunisia. Internet here stinks. It's difficult to find a cyber cafe and the ones I met were full of people. Fortunately alcohol is easier to find. I'm on my holidays now. I'll be going from beach to beach in the next three weeks, probably in Portugal.
Tunisian girls are pretty good. Sad that I'm not alone in this trip. See ya in three weeks.

Wlc to the big apple. I will be there this labour weekend...so I'll keep looking for you.
Seriously....If you like M/Eastern food...Go to a place called "Moustache" , the best food you have ever tasted, and its in Manhattan...around 34th, 32th and Broadway which is also 7th St.

Cawar,
How come I couldn't find that place and I was looking for two days for a decent ME restaurant in that area. I finally ended up in a small Paki restaurant in a back alley on the corner of 37th on 7th.

Tell me if my memories are still valid:
The weather is always either too hot and humid, or too cold and wet. It is never comfortable.
The tap water is brown.
Everyone on the East side is taller than you and everyone on the West is shorter.
English is almost never heard on the streets.
Buses regularly pile up four deep at any given stop on Morningside Drive.
Yes?????
