Today is Thanksgiving. This morning I went to the Macy's Parade. Standing amongst the crowds of small children and their parents, we look over their heads spotting the massive ballons floating between the buildings.........

Today they had me running errands around town again but this time it was far different than before (see day 24), it was glorious. I had a smile on my face and a skip in my step as I walked the streets around times square.
Later, that evening totally met up with my cuz Aoife. She and her friends were on a politics trip, in need of some pointers on where to undertake the number one activity, retail therapy (which has a lot to do with politics i am sure). Obvs came to the right girl anyhow.... and the right city......

A week ago i made my way to heathrow airport on the london underground to catch my flight to JFK, Newyork. during the trip i attempted to watch the god awefull "angels and demons", i changed it to "the hangover" which was hugely recomeneded by a frind of mine. I was not dissapointed, it had me LOLing on the plane.
Unfortunately the food wasn't quite so welcomely received, even though i ate the lot due to starvation. With each mouth full i thought to what would Gordon Ramsay would have to say about it, but then my thoughts turned to the fact that he would be up in first class with champagne and food that did not resemble gunge with a piece of chicken placed on top.
On arrival, after an eye scan, fingerprint and questioning questioning sesh from boarder control, i walked through the doors to the long line of yellow taxis. i smiled a little bit. I stood behind a group of hedonistic jews- amazing! The excitement didn't stop there, as i took my taxi ride into town, i saw a classic yellow school bus, which i couldn't quite believe are not exclusively for the movies!
The hostel is well nice, really spacious and trendy, in fact the area apparently is inhabited buy the hipsters and the cool of Brooklyn, i am living in Bushwick which they say is "the new Williamsburg". though I ended up walking around the wrong side and got called a barbie, a princess and blondie as i walked down the street, all of which i am sure were not meant to be compliments, though I quite liked the idea of looking like barbie....... I got on the train and headed to times square, where i had flickery vision when i got out of the station from the cocktail of jet- lag, the bright lights of the endless flashing billboards and my first stateside Starbucks.
