Hey you, don't come back to New York

The next stop on our trip (how many more are there?) was a little known place called New York. I was initially unimpressed as unlike it's English counterpart, it contained no Yorvick Viking Centre. It did however contain many other things that no matter how impressive, could never match the thrill of sitting in a cart as you went round on rails to witness the wonders of York in the Viking age.

Apart from the pictures you are about to see we also went to see The Producers on Broadway. However to see the definitive production of this I must now fly to las Vegas to see the Hoff perform as gay director Roger Dubruis. The Hoff in a dress, the Hoff singing springtime for Hitler, surely the greatest thing in the world.

There were other things such as getting lost after getting off the subway. From this I discovered that spending 15 minutes walking around a dodgy area of New York late at night is not fun. But for the main enetertainment just look below.


springfield, springfield
it's a hell of a town
the schoolyard's up
and the shopping malls down
springfield, springfield
springfield, springfield
new york, new york
new york is that-a-way man
thanks k




Can't remember what this was called. Looks kind of stupid though. Perhaps it was one of their gods. New Yorkers were very primitive people



A more familiar and better looking view


Greed is good


New York wasn't very technologically adavanced. They still used ships with sails


Brooklyn Bridge. Named as it is a bridge that goes to brooklyn. Genius!


The massage chairs. Some people look too relaxed


Home of Donald Trump. He may have millions of dollars but I have the ability to grow my own hair


USA, USA, USA...


A time of rebuilding


Graffiti, New York style. Much like everywhere else then


Times Square. Couldn't find a clock anywhere


Sensory overload


Dark, gothic, stylish


It was in central park that Keenie left us for his epic train journey back to Vancouver. He was missed... only kidding, I hardly realised he wasn't there


The asylums day out went with little trouble


The Empire State building, famous for King Kong's death and endless ques


The closest to a giant gorilla I could find at the top


It's easy to see why Kong didn't survive. It's a long drop


New York in all it's glory


This thin building can be seen in Spiderman 2. More movie trivia


Grand Central Station. Another symbol of how unpatriotic Americans
can be


Does exactly what it says on the tin


Times Square at night, too many lights, flashing signs... can't handle it, aaarrrgggghhhh


And so that was New York. The next stop saw us head back to Canada, but this time to Montreal where you can look forward to silly beards, a cathedral and a pub crawl. Oh, and a surprise visit from another BUNAC member. But before we left New York we were given a nice send off by a homeless person in the metro. "Hey you, don't come back to New York" he said. But what was really nice about it was that he said it to each and everyone one of us. It's nice to see he made the extra effort.
