First day back at work and I'm in NYC. I really like being in the city and that always suprises me a little bit as I never spent all that much time in a big city.
My sense of direction is really not to good. Unless the sun is rising or setting I have no idea which way is North, South, East or West. My general rule of thumb in a big city is to go in one direction and then just keep turning one way until I get back to where I started. My Dad can navigate across the ocean by the stars and my wife can find her way to and from anywhere, but I have to have a GPS or breadcrumbs.
When I'm in a town with a rental car, I will go out from the hotel and turn right or left and then just drive until I get bored. Even with a GPS I don't make too many turns without a specific destination in mind. It's just that bad.
I'm staying in the SoHo area very near Chinatown. I was walking around as best I could in the freezing cold and looking at the street vendors. One vendor told me; 'Unless you want Rolex we closed!' I'm not exactly sure of his business model.
(Sorry Mom, but I found that amusing)
I think you had to be there for this photo. The things hanging in the window were almost enough to put me off meat.
