I have entered a rugby 7's tournament in November with some of the other interns and we thought that the best way to get to know each other was through the medium of alcohol. We ventured to Bondi Road on the lower east side and paid $20 for a meal and all you can drink booze. Perfect!
It's fair to say that when the beer pong started, we got to know the real sides of one another. To say that we were competitive would be an understatement! GAME ON!

Day 34 - "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail"
I have some fairly big projects coming up at work and decided that I would need to really structure myself so that I can manage all of my responsibilities.
So what did I do? I ordered bright pink draw folders of course!
To wind down from my day, I went for a stroll round the financial district and looked in awe at what is being built where the Twin Towers once stood. Stunning!
After my stroll I went to Johnny Utah's and met a few other Mountbatten interns. It seems that some of the other guys have different ways of winding down. Like being thrown around by a raging bull!

Day 33 - WEAT PEANT!
After coming back from a day at work I am approached by what can only be classed, as the worst sign EVER! I suspect that whoever produced the sign did so with their feet and their eyes in back to front. Better luck next time!

Day 32 - Grimaldi's
After reading that Frank Sinatra used to get the pizza's from Grimaldi's (take note that they are situated underneath Brooklyn Bridge!) delivered to him in LA, I knew this was a must visit!
It did not disappoint, they were so good! Recurring theme here but it was definitely the best pizza I have had out here... so far! Personally I think that I would struggle to justify putting it in a seat and sending it east to west. I can however justify the uptown to downtown trip that I have to make for these scrumptious goods.

Day 31- Rain, rain, go away!
Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing romantic about walking through the rain in New York.
It is still wet.
This has been my view while walking back from Uni...

Day 29 - Four Weeks and I am Top of the Rock!
Would you believe that I have been here for four weeks? All the previous interns said that this year will go fast and I think I am starting to agree with them now!
To commemorate my four week anniversary I went to the Rockefeller Centre and looked out across the Empire State. My original plan was to get there for sunset but the length of time it took to get from the top to the bottom meant I had to settle with NYC at Night. This obviously now meaning that I am going to have to go at least once more, so that I can see from the top in daylight and at dusk. What a shame!
