Day 69 - House Decorations

If this is how people decorate their houses for Halloween, I can not wait for Christmas!

Day 68 - Spooky Carriage

I stayed on till the last stop and for the first time since I arrived, I was the only person left on!

This is such a contrast compared to my morning commutes. If I can even fit onto the carriage I have done well.

Day 67 - Harlem View

My view down Lexington Avenue from 125th Street station, certainly does freshen me up first thing in the morning.

Day 66 - Halloween Prep

It's becoming evident that Halloween is taken very seriously out here. The shop at the office has added to its already vast supply of candy. I now have no excuse for when my managers children come to the office next week for the annual office trick or treat!

Day 65 - The first of many

The day has come for my first assignment to be handed in. From here on now, I have a steady 3000 word assignment and exam every month until I leave. Game on!

Day 64 - Grub Fest & Coney Island

I started the morning of by visiting the NY Grub Fest on the Lower East Side. There was a variety of deli's and restaurants selling all types of food. One of the stalls was selling a squid burger that included tentacles hanging outside of the bun! BLURGH!

Afterwards, I went on the hour long commute to Coney Island with the intentions of going to the horrorfest. ALWAYS READ THE SMALL PRINT ALEX! This was an evening event not a day event.

Not to worry, I still made the most of my time there. Going on all the big rides, eating a Nathan's hotdog and winning two cuddly toys on the plate smash and water shoot! Oh and a TaZmanian devil magnet for getting 20,000 points. No biggie!

As a comparison, it is like Skegness with more rides and a much nicer beach. Really looking forward to going there in the summer. Especially for the hot dog eating competition. The current champion's record is 68. SIXTY EIGHT!

Day 63 - New York RedBulls

I ventured to Harrison, NJ to watch the NY Red Bulls today against Sporting Kansas. I am not a football expert in the slightest but I can definitely make the statement that this was not the premier league!

The game finished 0-0. Thierry Henry got a yellow card. Thierry Henry had a tantrum. I got neck ache from watching the ball in the air so much. Game over.
