been there, did that, bought the t-shirt

I have just been a week in New York, on Manhattan. Job related. First time in the US. Hope it is not the last - but next time I wouldn't mind seeing a less crowded place... 16.6million people live in NY - wow... In Denmark there are 5.5 million...
the lobby of the Paramoun hotel, very nice, modern decorations... but... oh... the perfumed air... terrible!
all those tall buildings... and those crazy cab drivers...

parking in NY. Like the people, all on top of and around eachother...


The Javits exhibition center - huge, but neat.



cops everywhere.. here on Times Square - from where we stayed 50 metres away.




from the Top of the Rocks - view of Central Park





.. and the Empire State Building..
Didn't get to see so many of the tourist sights, the daily schedule was quite busy.
But, now I've been there - and can live to tell about it :o)
Came home yesterday, and last night, before giving in to the jetlag and collapsing in my bed, I took a small stroll in the neighbourhood with Bundy, and ah, the silence, and the solitude, and the empty street... can't find that in NY. I didn't, anyway!
