New York New Yooooooooork!

*Phew*

Made it to New York safe and sound (just - BA overbooked the flight and - shock! - everyone turned up, so I only just got a seat) and spent the day catching breath, researching cell phones and getting ready for the next couple of weeks. Can't get a bank account or cell phone until I have an apartment, which kinda sucks, but never mind. The day ended awesomely with film watching with 10,000 others in Bryant Park, an evening of Communism, love stories, jibes about my lame home town, snapple, twizzlers and turkey jerky. Yum! Also made it back to Natalie's awesome apartment for a full nights rest (which is good, as by that point in the evening I was ever so slightly tired...)

Today made two appointments for apartment viewings tomorrow, with another two being sounded out via e-mail as we speak. Fingers crossed it won't take too long, so I can get down to the more important business of exploring the city, learning about my new role and playing with a shiny new phone...
