USA Road Trip!!!

Ok, so the title is a little slow, but so are we it seems. For the country that has supposedly got the best connectivity in the world, they charge a fortune for internet access… to foreigners. If you use it in the hotel its $1 for 5 whole minutes. However we now have a T-Mobile sim card that has 500 anytime minutes, unlimited off peak minutes, unlimited data and text messaging and $5 of credit (sure I’ll need that when I use up all of my unlimited minutes). How much must that cost I hear you asking, well based on the hotel rate if you do some simple maths… a whole lot. But it is just $50 per month and thats higher because its pre-paid. You can get the same thing for between $25 and $29 on contract.

Anyway, enough of my tech ranting. New York is really incredible to see. There is so much that you have seen on TV that seeing it in real life feels rather weird. We went on one of the bus tours today and went to see some of the famouse landmarks. St Johns cathedral is totally mind blowing. The place is so massive it almost defies rational thinking. Back when it was built it must have seemed like an impossibility. We also went to the Gugenheim Museum (spelling could be way off on that one) which was pretty kewl. The art was a little much for me, but there was a Jason Statham movie recently where they had a shootout in there and I tell you it was pretty exciting reliving it. Some of the other patrons seemed a little put out with us yelling bang all the time though.

Well I am going to go and have a bit of a nap because we are going to a comedy club tonight and I dont want to fall asleep because that would make me a prime target for an angry comedian I think. So I will hopefully get some of the pics up later tonight or tomorrow
