New York, New York (Da, Da, Da Da Da)

Just a quick update...

I'm in NY now, having spent a day in each of Boston and Washington DC. Both were cool. Boston was freezing (we caught the tail end of a storm), but it was amazing how architechturally (is that a word?) similar it was to England. We went to a comody show in the evening in an area that seemed almost identical to Covent Garden in London. The thing I liked most about DC was that there are no high rise buildings - no buildings are allowed to be talled than the Lincoln Memorial (or something like that) so it's got a really open and airy feel. The White House, however, was a huge disappointment. It looks much bigger on TV - in real life it seems tiny. We had to ask somebody if we were actually looking at the White House, we were in so much disbelief. Listening to other tyourists, we weren't alone. Oh well. I left quite quickly after noticing one of the snipers on the roof fixing his binoculars in my direction. It's not the best place to be a Persian...

I'm loving New York. Can't be bothered with the touristy stuff, but just bee chilling, taking in the atmosphere and meeting up with friends here. I love this city - definitely more than LA, which is the only other US city I've spent much time in - although I'm not sure whether I could live here. So I'll be home on Monday, less than a week! Looking forward to it, although I'm also having a good time here. I guess this'll be me second to last post!
