<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />
</div>i had returned to Dili the first night of the tour so that i could catch the heli again for day 2. i found myself back at Apod at 7am for a 8am flight. while we were waiting for the flight we got notification that they had delayed the start due to one of the water trucks going off the road, and was blocking the forward convoy from going through. they had to fix the truck, get it moved out of the way and they pushed back the start till about 9am. our flight was due to leave at 8am which means that we wouldn't be able to shoot any of the riders on the stage as they wouldn't have started by the time we were heading over them.. just to add to that, day 2 was a bit different. we had to pick up a medical evac from Laclubar as well. so that had a certain time frame on it too. there had been a massive outbreak of gastro at camp the first night, effecting 30+ riders (from 400) and quite a few support staff. another reason I'm glad i wasn't at camp the first night. in the end we negotiated that we would do a flyover, stop in Laclubar to pick up the evac, flyover the riders towards Beacu then land there and drop us off and take the evac back to Dili.<br />
<br />
The flight to Beacu was amazing. the landscape was breathtaking, Beacu sits on the south coast of Timor Leste, prone to crocs but still a beautiful place, like most of Timor. because we were out of a major city we were able to get in closer over the riders, at one point too close, we could then see him waving us off. we were making the course just a little harder than it needed to be. i was harnessed in and leaning out the window, nearly crapped myself when the pilot decided to bank really quickly to one side which meant i was looking straight down to the ground with nothing but air in between.. mini freak out haha. it was fun though. we again got some great shots and landed in Beacu to await the arrival of the forward convey and the riders.<br />
<br />
i spent the morning sitting out the front of the media room. and made friends with a little girl who was having a great old time yelling out to me and hiding.. she was cute as.. Mat decided not to get back on the motorbike for stage 2, still a bit sore and uncertain from day 1, so he was riding in the forward convoy, they arrived about 11.30, with riders due at 1pm. so we had time to work out a strategy for shooting them as they came over the line. i spent time editing the previous days images then got ready for the riders arrival.<br />
<br />
we shot the riders coming in, the press conferences and interviews and the crowd, then i retired to edit, get images ready for the heli and because i was a bit over it at that stage. once the bulk of the riders are over the line everyone starts finishing for the day, the video guys start coming in and editing their bits and pieces then everyone just generally hangs out. the line for dinner was crazy and i had spent about an hour earlier in the day trying to hunt down a meal card. no luck but i got an all access wrist band from one of the TDT girls who was heading back to Dili, so i would be fed for the rest of the tour. i would have liked to have the meal card though, they were punching holes for each meal. i would have been interested to see how many meals i actually ate, i know it wasn't many. Beacu was really well organised compared to some of the camp sites, the toilets and showers well well built (as well as they can be, being make out of star pickets and black plastic). and they actually catered properly. they didn't run out of food like they did further down the track at other sites.<br />

Mat and i pitched our tent while it was still light enough to see what we were doing. this was a new tent i hadn't seen until this point but had been assured by mat that it was a good tent and that we would both fit... he was lying.. it was the tiniest tent i had ever seen. it was so so squishy but we made it work. i was feeling a bit off so i went to bed pretty early, everyone else went to the travelling bar and had (quite) a few drinks. most of them didn't go to bed till 2am. we were all to be up again at 4.30am for the next stage..ashdawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14503125118656210085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935934893638276885.post-68564603614389508212011-09-28T23:11:00.001+10:002011-09-28T23:11:14.984+10:00Laclubar.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">on saturday we confirmed our designated roles. Mat on motorbike, covering the ride, me in the heli covering from above and Sara with the President. after finally working out what was happening and being given our times and places to be, we got about 4 hours sleep and were up at 4.30 to be ready to be on the road or air in my case.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i was pretty excited about getting to hang out in the chopper, mum wasn't happy when i told her, but i understand why, the week i left for Timor, i think it was 3 helicopters had gone down in 1 week. though so far so good.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i had to be at the heliport at 7am for a 8am flight, we got there, were briefed, and jumped in. we got to go a bit early as we wanted to catch the start of the race, which was to start at 8am from the front of the Presidents Palace. Joe the camera guy filmed last years TDT also, so he jumped in and grabbed the headset so he could direct the pilot, we ended up getting some great shots so everyone was happy. we got the start which is all joe wanted today. haha. he is this loud crazy old californian guy, he makes me thing of the turtles in finding nemo. he frequently uses, dude, wicked, woah man, etc. you get the idea.. awesome guy though. the heli ride was AWESOME. i had never been on one before so it was pretty cool. but im going to get to have plenty more rides by the end of the week!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">we had to fly reasonably quickly over the riders on this flight as the next flight was for the Pres so there is no room to be late on that one. we arrived in Laclubar at about 8.40am, first rider isnt due in until 12 so i had a bit of time to kill. it was market day in Laclubar today so i went for a wander, much to the delight of almost everyone in the market. Get stared at omg its crazy. it still happens in Dili but no where near to the same extent as it does in the more remote districts. i was stopping traffic haha, never been able to say that before. basically as long as you smile and say Bondia, (good morning) everyone is happy, especially the little kids, i had an entourage at one point. i was pretty happy with myself, i had an entire conversation in Tetun with a lady at the market, by full conversation i mean i said. "good morning, 5 bread please, thankyou, and then shook my head and smiled when she tried to give me change." anyway i thought i was cool.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i really just wandered around for most of the morning, once the President arrived i helped Sara out a bit with some shots. then just waited for the riders to start coming in. the projected time for this stage was about 4 hours, so the first rider should have been in around 12. it was closer to 12.40 when the first guy came in. they all looked wrecked. though they had just riden 115kms or so 40 of which were straight uphil so i guess they were allowed to be. i continued taking photos of the riders coming over the line and the crowd till about 1pm. we had to have a selection of 15 images between the 3 of us to send back to Dili with me on the chopper at 2.30pm, so we began editing and selections.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">i was sitting up in the media tent talking to Jackie, she is a flim maker from melbourne who we met a couple weeks ago, she was out on a motorbike doing film. i asked her if she had seen mat, and she goes "you know he came off right?" um no, WTF... freakout. apparently he was ok, so everyone kept saying, kept freaking out on the low down until i had spoken to him. largely he was ok, scrapes, bruises and the like but no broken bones. and yes the cameras were ok too, but he would take the fall before he let the cameras. found out a bit later that i had actually seen his crash from the air, it happened about 10mins into the race. we were too far away too see who it was, it just looked like a rider had come off and everyone was going around. anyway i still havent seen him but he says he's ok, more than anything i think he is pissed off at his driver. he has a timorese guy riding the bike with him on the back, so communication isnt the best, and he is experienced and trying to keep up with the really experienced motorbike riders. Mat doesnt really want to get back his bike tomorrow but doesnt have much choice, and tomorrows stage is supposed to be the most dangerous. he is going to give his girlfriend a heart attack, im just glad his mum doesnt know. iv told him though, i refuse to bring his body home to his mum, so if he dies he will have to organise his own transport..</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">could feel myself getting a bit burnt while i was down shooting on the finish line, but i couldnt find the sunscreen i had packed. i took the 'it'l be right attitude' and paid for that.. i didnt think about the fact that we were on top of a mountain and out of the smokey smog of Dili so the sun is really bad there.. i got super burnt on my arms, neck and and face, i look like an idiot, have a massive sunnies tan, my nose is so so red! sad face..</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">it was getting on towards 2pm and Mat still hadnt come in off the race yet (which only added to my anxiety), so the 15 images had to come from what Sara and i had shot for the day. we selected, edited and had them on the harddrive by 2.30pm on the dot, then i had to run down to the helicopter to head back to Dili. tonight is to be the coldest night on the road, and i hate camping when its cold so im kinda glad im back in Dili with a real bed but its no fun being on your own. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">im going to post this, then head to bed, another 5am wake up and heli ride is in order.</div><br />

Getting to Dili earlier a few days before the race i thought (incorrectly) that we would have some time to hit the beach, shop and hang out but everyone was already in full Tour De Timor mode. Sara, Mat and i took every opportunity to leave the Timor lodge compound so we didnt get tasked with stupid things, Sara got stuck sorting and resorting bikes one day, which meant she had to sit inside a sweltering container moving them around over and over again.. she wasnt happy.. Sara is here to be a kind of PR role for the creative activities unit, which is the team that Mick heads up under the President. the last few years they have had a good event but no one has really known about it, so her role was supposed to be to basically get it out there, but like i said we have been doing shit that they could be getting other people to do, especially when there was volunteers sitting around with nothing to do.<br />
<br />
i think i may have already mentioned that Sara studied photography for a year ar PSC, she has a canon 7D but she was quite rusty on how to work it, so since i got here tuesday we have been giving her little photography classes when we have the time. after a lot of convincing on Mats part, we made the media guys add Sara to our team, we needed another photographer desperately, as i was to be in the chopper back and forth every day and Mat was to be on a motorbike down with the riders, there was no way that we could do it all ourselves, we got what we wanted in a way and lost out in others. They decided that instead of giving us another photographer on the ground, she was to be embedded with the President, so she could capture everyone he spoke to, shook hands with and all that sort of thing. i guess its a cool angle but we really could have used a extra pair of hands on ground. <br />
<br />
we somehow wrangled ourselves a car so that made life heaps easier to get around etc. we spent most of the 4 days in Dili, pre race, helping to organize, get supplies, and everything else. there was a few little events, press conferences, and pre race stuff we needed to shoot, which was good as it kept us occupied. mid week we were getting stuffed around so much, Mat was ready to go home, he was (and within reason to be) really pissed about how badly some things have been organised. we would be told off for not being somewhere we hadn't been told to be, then having people bitch at us for missing shots etc. we were all hanging for the race to start hoping that would mean things would improve. we tried to get out of the compound as much as we could, so we could explore, but a lot of time was spent waiting to find out what we needed to do. so so painful.. wednesday and thursday night we went out. we went down to the malay bars, had some beers, played some pool and just hung out, it was so good to be away from the compound and to be doing something outside of worrying about TDT. thursday everyone was going to 'castys' so Mat and i decided to go out for dinner and catch up with everyone later on. we went to OceanView seafood restaurant, supposed to be the best seafood in dili. everyone had been raving about it, Mat had been before and said it was great, this night, not so much. i got fish, it was baked in sweet chili, the sauce was really good, it was just the fish that was shit... im not sure if it was the type of fish or what but it was gross. the texture was all wrong, it had a strange taste and was just generally bad.. Mat got a 1kg crab. looked so good when it came out, but we both left feeling like we were going to throw up, must have ben a bad day. we met up with the others and had a few drinks to wash it down.<br />
<br />
saturday was the ride for peace, its run in conjunction with TDT, Rich organised it. the idea stems from peace in sport. for the ride they got as many kids as possible to ride a short course, along with some of the riders who are part of TDT. the idea is to get kis to turn away from alcohol, cigarettes and violence and to get involved in sport. they did the same thing for the marathon earlier in the year. it was a really good little event and was really successful for what they are trying to achieve. Mat had his first experience riding backwards on a motorbike and taking photos, he had a few issues with the driver im worried about when he is doing it for real on the race.<br />
<br />
saturday night we spent packing and organising, and trying to wok out what the fuck was happening for the start of the race. so far i didn't know what time i was getting on the chopper, Mat and Sara didn't know what time to be at the Presidents Palace for the start, everything and everyone was chaotic, no one could tell us anything. really we wanted to know 3 things, where each of us had to be in the morning , what time, and what to do with our bags, as we couldn't leave any at the compound. we ended up working all this out at about midnight, and probably then made it to bed at 12.30..<br />

So I asked the flight attendant and moved! Free upgrade, perks of traveling alone. <br><br>Pretty uneventful flight, apart from the guy behind me snoring like a freight train. Landed in darwin, picked up my bag, rechecked, then to wait for 3 hours. <br><br>I grabbed some breakfast, sat and read my book for a bit, then tried to go to gate, they had closed passport control so I couldn't go through immigration and passport control to the international terminal. I waited another hour before being able to go through. <br><br>I was waiting to board and realized that Steve Bracks was on my flight to Dili. I found out later that he is the ambassador to Timor Leste so that makes sense. I happened to have a look in the inflight mag and there was an article on Timor, it mentioned the marathon and the tour de Timor (TDT) and there was one of Mat's photos from the marathon. Pretty cool.. We got warm scones and tea, then arrived in Dili.<br><br>When you fly to Dili, you fly over the country for about half an hour before you land, it is such an amazing and beautiful country from the air.<br><br>First day back in Timor, it's a bit strange being back here. But the people are just a nice and the weather just as hot and sticky so it feels the same. <br><br>Spent the day trying to work out what we were doing, there is so many people working on this event but its almost like it's too much, everyone is running around like mad, and no one tells us anything.. We are staying at Timor Lodge, which is the race headquarters instead of at Mick's as there is just too many people there, and we don't want to be in the way. <br><br>We went and had lunch, and then showed the city to one of the volunteers who had made friends with us, after that Mat took me to the massage place he keeps going on about.. Genuine massage place not a "massage" place haha..<br><br>I get a bit weirded out by people touching me like that so I wasn't super keen, but the massage was pretty good.. It was a 60 min full body massage, and I mean full body.. After she did my back and legs etc, I was asked to turn over then she did the front.. Including my boobs.. Well that got SUPER AWKWARD! anyway.. <br><br>After that we headed back to Timor Lodge. Because it's kinda the headquarters everyone comes and goes, it's great to just hang around and you chat to everyone as the come past. <br><br>I also met Sara today, another volunteer, she actually did a year at PSC, so she has been helping us shoot among other things. She is a really lovely girl, we get on well.<br><br></p>ashdawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14503125118656210085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935934893638276885.post-68458336358684165422011-08-31T15:51:00.001+10:002011-09-06T01:20:24.185+10:00One Trip Down, One To Go.. <p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' ><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdp4RWqdYw5DvSVrV1oqvkZcaSHDHEFJGPDIxzEoj3nFtg1owuQCqqrCHHdPIlA8w0o3yaB5oQfpVQOXxAOxyaN7Q4UdFmtOetRHL533O-o3hblJiOcARIHSi0rEELDB6xYCmS0wKZUz0c/' ></img></div></p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left'><p>I had been home a few days and then started preparations for going away again!<br><br><br>Mat left for Timor last week, and I'm heading tonight, spent a few days trying to sort out a camera, mine was being a bit shit since i got back from the US, and i didn't have time to get it fixed. i tried calling my insurance company, both my normal one and my travel insurance, neither offer hire gear for damaged items.. Then had to make one of my friends lend me their camera for 2 weeks.. not an easy feat. Thanks to Josh for saving my ass and with such a nice camera...<br><br><br>This trip is going to be different to any i have done previously so I was really unsure what to pack. because for one week we will be out on the road with the tour so i have to bring a tent and camping gear, but then the other week im basically living in 5 star accom on the beach, at Mick's place, and he has virtually everything, so thats all good. iv been camping before but this is different and i feel so unprepared, i have no idea what to take!<br><br>Finally finished packing about 7pm tonight, then to keep myself amused until midnight when ash so awesomely obliged to take me to the airport, she did get sausage dog shaped cookies for her trouble. <br><br>Now just sitting waiting at the gate, should be boarding momentarily. <br><br><br><br></p></p><p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' ><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZZNS9HAL6kyi65SNE1n5d9ItFK74uUVwcDGFkqoOdNbZxI38dYqeAjQIVc6x8UJh9mEAJzzB8DnvwcgcowwPFW__YxMEuk6YNcKdB6X2goDhDVGv62z6g_ojl1Gj-Bjltd4gh3ExGZP9n/' ></img></div></p>ashdawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14503125118656210085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935934893638276885.post-44112524560159656492011-08-28T23:15:00.000+10:002011-08-28T23:15:19.753+10:00The Trip From My Phone..i took my camera with me pretty much every day but there was a lot of things that i captured on my phone, heres the best of them..<br />

Out to the airport, i hate walking through the doors at customs, and everyone is standing there watching you walk out.. its intimidating. anyway we found Kat's parents, then i hung around waiting for Mat.<br />
<br />
They finally arrived after getting really really lost, Mat, Em and Eric came to get me which was really lovely! i got presents from Em and Mat which was really nice, we jumped in the car and went home. i got a big hug from Kristy when i got home, i think she missed me haha.. i missed her too though. her sister and her boyfriend were over from NZ so i got to meet them too. i think they are staying a week or so.<br />
<br />
Mat had organised breakfast at social roasting company with a few of the guys, i needed to go home and have a shower and make myself feel human again before we did that. everyone met at my place them we went to breakfast. Kristy didn't come as she was spending the day with her sister, we will have plenty of time to catch up..<br />
<br />
breakfast was so good, and seeing everyone was just what i needed. i ended up having a 4 hour nap when we got home, and struggled to make myself get up so that i would actually be able to go to sleep that night. mat and i went to the supermarket and grabbed some things for dinner, and made dinner for Kristy, her sister and us, spent the night on the couch and then back to bed..<br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We got up and Kat made me breakfast for my birthday, we had eggs, pancakes, bacon, toast, orange juice and tea! It was part for my birthday and part to get rid of all the food we had left. Kat made me a banner for my b'day too, out of a string of toilet paper and a good old permanent marker.

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We had showers and packed the last few things, cleaned up, did the dishes then headed off to the movies. We have been bombarded by the preview for the movie ‘The Help’ we decided a couple days ago we needed to go see it because we were sick of just seeing the preview on repeat. Again as we left the house it started pissing down rain, the storm wasn’t supposed to start until 2.30, it was 3 hours early! By the time we got to the subway and the to the cinema we were pretty wet. Movie was really good, it was good to finally see it, now we know what happens and it’s not just the same bits of the preview over and over again. Back to the apartment to do final check, cleaning and putting everything away, packing the absolute last things, then grabbed a car to the airport.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The driver was a nutcase, he kept yelling in what I think was Spanish and honking everyone, though we made it to the airport in one piece. Checked in, went through security and went to the gate. At security we had to go through the new full body scanner x-ray thing, I really don’t know what people are complaining about, you can see the image and they cant see anything private or whatever, and if its going to make the flight safer m all for it. We both got pulled out of the line and had our bags checked, I had forgot to take out my water bottle and they thought Kat had some thing concealed in her Polaroid camera, they swabbed it for cocaine. Haha..</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">We went through and found the gate, plane was 30mins delayed so we now had over an hour to kill, to the bar the obvious choice. We sat and had a couple drinks for my birthday. Then boarded the flight..</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">5 or so hours later we made it to LAX, and had to get the shuttle across to the international terminal. For our flight the gate we had to go to was the last gate, from where the shuttle dropped us off we had to walk through the airport for about 10 mins, surely the bus could have dropped us closer. We got to the gate at about 10.20, boarding at 10.45. we both had to grab a couple things duty free because we weren’t allowed to at JFK because the flight was only domestic. I went and grabbed what we needed while Kat watched the bags and made it back just in time for boarding..</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">we wanted to see if we could get some sort of upgrade because it was my b'day, they couldn’t really do anything, but the seats in front of us were the ones for parents and children, and there was no one sitting in them they have way more leg room and we would have got 4 seats for the 2 of us. We asked if we were ale to sit there and were told to sit in our allocated seats until the seatbelt sign was turned off then we could move. That was the plan. Then just before take off some guy moved and sat there, so so pissed off. He apparently had to move because someone wanted to sit together. Bull shit, he had the same idea as we did. And then the flight attendant didn’t want to move him. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">There is quite a few spare seats on the flight so Kat moved a few rows back so she has a spare seat next to her and now I do too, its so so much better when you can spread out a little. I feel like I’ve been on this plane forever! Its coz I have.. currently we are about halfway home, 7 and half hours to go.. the plane ride as always has been uneventful. I want to sleep but I'm making myself work on Melbourne time to try to get myself back into the right time zone. Its midnight in Melbourne now though so I guess that means I can sleep, and my laptop is on 16% battery so its going to have to end soon anyway. Iv just hit 6500 words that I have written on the plane.. we at least I’m up to date now.</span></div>ashdawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14503125118656210085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935934893638276885.post-75500619917131303872011-08-28T11:39:00.000+10:002011-08-28T11:39:51.111+10:00Harry Success, Last Day In NYC <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves>false</w:TrackMoves> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing> <w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing> <w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery> <w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:DontAutofitConstrainedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> </w:Compatibility> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="276"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <style>

</div><div class="MsoNormal">I was absolutely determined to get tickets to ‘How To Succeed In Business’ so on Wednesday I left the apartment at 7.45, and made it to the box office by about 8.10am.<span> </span>I was there an hour earlier than the day before but was in the exact place as I was the day before, I lost hope then but I wasn’t going to leave until I was sure I wouldn’t get tickets. Had to wait 2 hours sitting on the concrete while they did construction on the road right in front of us, so life draining…<span> </span>a little hope was restored when a guy from the theatre came out and gave everyone the rundown on the tickets, and asked of there was any questions, one guy asked if there was many tickets, and he said “today, quite a few actually” hope was back.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">10.15am came and I had tickets in my hand for the show that night! So so excited<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Wingdings;">.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Wingdings;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal">Kat spent the morning on the phone again trying to find out what the hell happened to her package. The plan was for her to come in and meet me and we were going to do a tour of the UN headquarters, but she was still on hold when I msgd her again at 11.30, and it was now to late to do the tour.</div><div class="MsoNormal">I wanted to get a couple more shots of the Flatiron Building so I walked down there while I was waiting for Kat to come in, she ended up meeting me at B & H at about 1.30pm. I had missed a couple things off my b&h list and she had been given a new one so we went back. Kat spent another $350 and me about $50, grand total for b&h about $1500… </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">From B&H we went back to drop off all our stuff, finish packing and get ready for Broadway! we finally hunted down the package, they must have had it in the building the whole time, because they called to say they had left it on our doorstep. Freaking hopeless idiots.</div><div class="MsoNormal">We headed back in about 7pm for an 8pm show. Neither of us really knew what the show was about or what to expect, but even Kat showed a little interest. Haha, I just had to stop making harry potter references and she was ok.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">The show was AWESOME! I was blown away by how good Daniel Radcliff was, he was singing, dancing, and delivering his lines with ease.<span> </span>At the show was so funny, costumes were great, and the music was also really well done.. it finished and I was ready to sit down and watch it again. John Larroquette was great too, the dynamic between Daniel Radcliff and him was fantastic. They really made the show. <span> </span>I don’t know what else to write, I'm now excited to see what he does next, he is actually a really talented kid, as much as I love him being harry I really hope he can break out of that and start making a serious mark in the film industry.<span> </span>My 2 favourite moments in the show was one when he realises he is in love with the girl, and he is telling someone, and he began jumping up and down on the couch yelling “I'm in love I'm in love’ <span> </span>(tom cruise anyone?)<span> </span>and then right at the end, the kind of the closing song, he absolutely rips up the stage, boy that kid can move, he looked like a professional dancer, it was freaking unbelievable, you almost expected it to be a body double, wow seriously blown away, I just wish I could have taken some photos. They were really on it with phones though, I picked mine up to look at he time and got told to put it away..</div><div class="MsoNormal">Harry I love you even more now!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We made it home about midnight and did the last of the packing and went to bed. </div><!--EndFragment-->ashdawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14503125118656210085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935934893638276885.post-46128801896671035012011-08-28T11:32:00.000+10:002011-08-28T11:32:22.299+10:00Failing My Quest To See Harry And B&H <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:TrackMoves>false</w:TrackMoves> <w:TrackFormatting/> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridHorizontalSpacing> <w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing>18 pt</w:DrawingGridVerticalSpacing> <w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayHorizontalDrawingGridEvery> <w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery>0</w:DisplayVerticalDrawingGridEvery> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> <w:DontAutofitConstrainedTables/> <w:DontVertAlignInTxbx/> </w:Compatibility> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="276"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 10]> <style>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">We wanted to go to a show on Broadway, we decided on (well I think I decided) that we would go see ‘How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying’ it stars Daniel Radcliff and John Larroquette (the old white haired guy from Boston Legal). Normal tickets range from $52 - $232 for the show. Kat didn’t want to pay that much and I really wanted to go so the solution was to get rush tickets, they are only $30 but you have to line up on the day of the performance and be lucky enough to get a ticket, they go on sale from 10am. As it was me that really wanted to go I said I would go in and get the tickets while Kat slept in. I got to the box office at about 9.15am, and waited till tickets went on sale. I was so crushed, the person in front of me bought the last 2 rush tickets for Tuesdays performance. My option was to buy standing tickets for $45 and stand up for the whole show.. I turned this down, then even more determined to get tickets on Wednesday.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Kat ordered some headphones of the Internet and had them delivered to the apartment, we called the people we booked through and asked first, asked them how to address it etc. and all was fine. Looking at the tracing on the package it arrived on Monday, we were told to address it to the basement where their office is, so we called to see if they had it,<span> </span>no one had any idea what was going on, Kat spent ages on the phone trying to track it down, the mailman had put a slip on the mail box telling us where to pick it up or that delivery had been attempted, but the guys that own the building don’t have access to the mail boxes. Their solution, we will get the locks changed, it ill take a couple days.. we leave in 1 and a half.. <span> </span>Kat was on hold for 50 mins to someone trying to sort it out, and still didn’t get anywhere so she came in and met me.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">Kat came into town and we made our way to B&H, we knew going to B&H was going to be a big day, grand total between the 2 of us was close enough to $1100. Mine was only $230 and most of that wasn’t for me, but I did get myself a few specials… we made our way home and had a lazy afternoon, we started packing and cleaning up anything we could. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

We went to the Impossible Project, wow that place is great, I just wish I still had the Polaroid camera from Pop. I think he stole it back! Not fair! Kat spent $250 on film for herself and everyone else. Now there was B&H to be done.. that we left for Tuesday.

It was so worth the wait and hassle of getting the tickets. From the to you can literally Washington in its entirety. That was pretty cool. You can see out of the monument from all 4 sides, you get an aerial view of the white house, you can see right down the mall one way to the capitol and the other to the Lincoln memorial and out the other side to the Jefferson memorial and over to Virginia. The very top level is the l=observation deck, then one level down as part of the monument, they have a history of the monument, details about the building its self and also stuff about Washington himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

I jumped on the metro and made my way there, For a cemetery it really is something to look at. It is a military cemetery, everything is set in neat rows, and all gravestones are exactly the same, its eerie that it is all the same but beautiful at the same time. The main reason to go to Arlington is because its where JFK is buried. I had put on face book about being in Washington and a friend asked if I could go to JFK’s grave and leave flowers, your not allowed to leave anything but I did take some photos and send it to her. She was happy with that. As weird as this is to say, JFK’s grave it beautiful, it is set high up in the cemetery so from that position you can see out across the rest of the cemetery, and like with anyone important that dies in the US, they have inscribed one of his famous addresses around his grave. “Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for the country.” At the cemetery there is also the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, which was built for each and every soldier who was killed in battle and wasn’t bought home, and for all those who deaths were never recorded, it is a really stunning memorial.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

First stop was the Holocaust Museum, I have been to the one in Sydney, but that had nothing on this. There was a couple of points where I almost gave way to tears, and then came so close to loosing it when I with about 70 others were pushed and locked into a train carriage, this carriage an exact replica of the trains that serviced Auschwitz. We were left in there for maybe 3 minutes, it was so hot and cramped, there were so many people, and it made me feel sick. In Nazi times, these trains carried on average 120 people per carriage, that is nearly double than were standing in there when I was, and these train could travel for up to a week in these conditions, often up to half of the carriage would be dead on arrival at the concentration camp. I actually can’t imagine what it would have been like, and count myself as so lucky to live now, to be white, straight and not part of any other marginalised minority.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">After the holocaust museum, I was in need of subject a little lighter to look at, so I headed to the Smithsonian - Air and Space Museum. I love space! Here I saw Buzz Aldrin’s space suit that he wore when he first set foot on the moon, I saw one of the re-entry capsules from one of the Apollo space missions, and hung out in the planetarium for a little while. I went up to the first flight exhibition, and they had the original prototypes from the Wright brothers, I didn’t know this but they originally owned a bicycle shop, that’s why their first few prototypes were basically a bike with massive wings. This was also pretty cool to see. Makes you wonder what we will achieve in another 100 years. I also touched the moon! There is a very small part of the sample that was bought back from the landing, on display, pretty damn cool.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

I would really have loved to sit on the gallery when they were in session, unfortunately they weren’t in session while I was there, and I couldn’t even do a tour as its not open to the public for tours on weekends.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">So I moved on to the National Gallery of Art, like NGV but way better, not having much time I wanted to go to the photography section have a look and go, and as my luck is the only gallery they had closed was the photography section… moving on, next stop was the Smithsonian Museum of American History. While walking there I'm pretty sure I saw Air Force One come in. the plane that looked a lot like it, went overhead to the airport then about 10 mins later a helicopter went across the other way and disappeared behind the white house.. AHH I LOVE WASHINGTON…<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

This is the museum that has all the classic awesome American pop culture history things and also a lot of political history stuff too. Like Michael Jackson's hat from the Billy Jean film clip, there is the ruby slippers from the Wizard of OZ and the original Muppet puppets. I saw the hat Abe Lincoln was wearing when he was assassinated, President Taff’s inauguration carriage and Jackie O’s Inauguration Ball Dress. I could have lived in this place..<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

I didn’t bring my watch overseas so I was looking for my phone, then realised it wasn’t in my bag.. panic set in, it has everything on it that I needed, like my receipt and reservation number for the bus, details of the apartment we were moving into and Kat's phone number so she could actually let me in when I got there. I realised I had put it down in the toilet and not picked it up, I went back as quick as I could, not at all expecting to find it, but it was still sitting in where I left it. This is one of the busiest museums in the world and I realised about 10 mins after I had left it and it was still there!! Could not believe it!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;">I got really shitty after this and just wanted to get back to NYC, I headed back to the hotel to pick up my bags, and sat in there bar for about an hour charging my phone and laptop for the bus. My bus was scheduled at 6.30 but I wanted to head down a bit early so I could get a seat on the window, which meant I had access to the power socket. I love this about American buses and trains, nearly all of them have free wifi and power, makes the trip way more bearable. I go to the bus about 5.45pm and the earlier bus was still sitting there, I decided to pay the $5 re booking fee and grab the slightly earlier bus, there was no point standing there for anther 40mins when that could be 40 mins on the bus getting closer to NYC.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />

Probably better that way, as she holds no interest in American politics like I do so she would probably have been bored shitless. On Friday we had to move apartments on Friday morning but couldn't go to the new one until 11.30am, so I had to pack up all my stuff and leave it up to Kat to check us in and move my shit, while I made my way halfway up Manhattan, to the Mega Bus Terminal. There was a heap of people waiting for the bus, the bus was scheduled to be leaving at 8am, and I was worried I was going to be late, as we were supposed to be there at 7.45, I didn't end up getting on the bus until about 8.15am. The bus was full, I was hoping to get a double seat to myself, no luck, instead I sat next to a girl who proceeded to push her ass up against me and snore.. That was a fun 4 and a half hours. Apart from my newfound friend, the bus trip was uneventful. I still can’t get over America’s obsession with overpowering A/C. I was so so cold on the bus trip, its so stupid, I was shaking and knowing that it was mid 30’s outside.

I was surprised by the amount of security and at the same time the lack of it. you aren't able to drive down any of the roads that pass the fence of the white house grounds directly, yet the fence is not very high and would be easy to climb over. though I'm sure if you did that the secret service would be all over you ass.. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />

I had a bit of a chat to him, he had a couple of interesting and funny stories to tell.. He had been the 'fence guardian' as he got called for 3 years now, his favourite moment was when some Asian tourist dropped his camera through the fence. then proceeded to attempt to climb the fence to go get it. he obviously told him to stop, but with the communication issues the man continued to climb the fence. anyway it ended in him being hauled away by the secret service, with his horrified family looking on as he was taken away. Haha.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />

So went to have a look, I really wanted to go up to the top, but you have to line up to get tickets really early in the morning or have booked them months in advance. I'm clearly not that organised, so I would have to line up Saturday morning to get to go up to the top. it’s a really cool thing to look at and then when you learn the history it makes it so so much more awesome. When it was completed it was the tallest building in the world, and now still stands as the tallest full stone building. Commissioned by the government of the time, construction began though about a third of the way into construction it was halted for close to 10 years because of political infighting and lack of cash. You can tell the difference between old and new by the colour of the stone, as materials changed during the extensive period of inactivity. from the inside it is much more obvious, in the lower part of the building all the stones are cut by hand so they are much rougher, and then the technology of machine cutting came into practice so the higher up the monument you go the better cut the stone.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />

DC is very logically set up, all the main things are on a strip down the middle called the national mall. At one end you have the Lincoln Memorial and the other the Capitol. It is a huge grassed column through the centre of town. Between Lincoln and the Washington monument, there is the WWII memorial and the massive reflecting pool, which you would be familiar with if you have ever watched an episode of bones.. all I wanted to do was sit on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and look out over the reflection pool past the Washington monument and out towards congress like the do at then end of many many bones episodes.. DC ruined all my fun, at the moment they have drained the entire pool, because they skimped o cost when they built it so it is leaking and sinking.. so now they have having to rip the whole thing out and replace it.. life ruiners. Continuing on my way towards Lincoln, I stopped for a bit and made friends with another squirrel, he was eating a peanut! How cute!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />

Like all the important things in DC, the Lincoln Memorial is a fantastic building, and everything about the design and construction has a purpose. For instance there is 36 columns which represent the 36 states of the union while Lincoln was president (and at his death) and there is the names of the 48 states chiselled into the front fascia which is how many states there was when the memorial was completed, the last 2 states were added at a later date. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />

I think because it is one of those places that everyone has heard of, I just really wanted to see it for myself. Also Lincoln was one of those presidents that really did great things, and I firmly believe we would be living in a very different world with out people like him. Inside on the left and right walls inscribed are his 2 most famous speeches, the Gettysburg address and on the other his second inaugural address, both of these speeches changed the course of history, it was overwhelming to be in that place and to read those words and think about what might have happened had they not been said. Lincoln also holds interest in that he was the first ever president to be assassinated.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />

Most famous would have to be Martin Luther King Jr standing on the steps of the Lincoln memorial on august 28, 1963 delivering, “I have a dream’ to the thousands of people who had gathered. Wow to be there that day. A recent addition to the Memorial, they have inscribed “I Have A Dream” on the steps at the place where he stood that day. I got chills standing there. I wish I were still there on the 28<sup>th</sup> of august, this year they are having a dedication ceremony for the new memorial to Martin Luther King Jr, on the 38<sup>th</sup> anniversary of his speech. That would be amazing to see.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><br />

<br />
We met up with Kat's brother Paul who is also in NYC at the moment, and decided to see the statue of liberty. When we went to Wall St on Wednesday we couldn't find the iconic gold bull, so we googled it and went on the way to catching the ferry. turns out its not even on wall st, no wonder we couldn't find it the first time.. im not sure the reasoning or the story behind the bull, im sure there is one, but now all that seems to happen is that people either put their children over its neck and take a photo or generally grown men crouch down under its testicles and again take photos...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzlsMvh9AQXnHWqzpeDu8CA1kyQx1s78kqHBkHjZw25959nEycnLaKE9GfhFAOBVr-f3bbXRX48uKtSzXYao3wiPT9UPXGV1-tbR6UpZq98dlcPlEPbK7M80CUM33Zwz8IazH_eh4l1nEq/s1600/_DSC7269E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzlsMvh9AQXnHWqzpeDu8CA1kyQx1s78kqHBkHjZw25959nEycnLaKE9GfhFAOBVr-f3bbXRX48uKtSzXYao3wiPT9UPXGV1-tbR6UpZq98dlcPlEPbK7M80CUM33Zwz8IazH_eh4l1nEq/s400/_DSC7269E.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
After watching people take photos of the bull, we made our way to the ferry. To go to the actual island and go up the statue it can literally take all day, so we jumped on the Stanton Island Ferry which goes past and gives you a lovely view and its FREE... even better..<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEe2icywInsku4fTWEP3sI-n0K9TFb8EHPYdZl2b1frAWWl_7wSFK87pwZJyrbBOMrr-btI8lydqXUrGtbzCMhOFxGmk4RmUcQjh2e5Jklo6V87VsIXJhKwV7vLC_a3rVJ6JQX93s88r2n/s1600/_DSC7270E.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEe2icywInsku4fTWEP3sI-n0K9TFb8EHPYdZl2b1frAWWl_7wSFK87pwZJyrbBOMrr-btI8lydqXUrGtbzCMhOFxGmk4RmUcQjh2e5Jklo6V87VsIXJhKwV7vLC_a3rVJ6JQX93s88r2n/s400/_DSC7270E.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
The ferry ride across is about 20 mins, and once we got to Stanton Island we had no idea what to do.. w found out there really isn't anything.. so we found a place for lunch and jumped back on the ferry.<br />
<br />

<br />
we headed back in to town to do some shopping, Paul wanted to grab a couple things and they were looking for something to buy their mum as its her birthday the day we get back. we spent the afternoon wandering and looking in shops, and eventually made our way back to Williamsburg, again sat on the roof and watched the sun go down.<br />

<br />
Wednesday was by far the most touristy day we have had the entire trip. we covered Wall St, Ground Zero which is now deep in the reconstruction phase, we went and had a look at the Flatiron Building, to Grand Central Station and finished the day at the top of the rock, the roof of the Rockefeller Centre right in the heart of NYC.<br />
<br />
The nerd in me wanted to go and have a look at Wall st, and also because there is an awesome photo that i love that was taken 50 or 60 years ago on wall street. it was also on the way so why not.<br />

From Wall Street we walked up towards Ground Zero. they are now rebuilding the new World Trade Centre, which will be a 5 building complex of interlocking buildings, which will surround a massive memorial garden.<br />

</div>The entire covers 16 acres, the garden on the new site covers 8 of these and it the centre piece for the new development. the two square pools are set in the original footings of where the buildings stood, and will have the names of every victim inscribed around its edges, it is going to be beautiful. this year it is the 10 year anniversary so there is a bit of talk about the progress that has physically been made as well as emotionally in NYC. i was talking to a local, who lived about 10 blocks form the site in 2001, in her opinion much has changed and a lot of it for the better. New York is a wonderful place and i hope it continues to rise from the ashes and become a better and stronger city for it.<br />
<br />
After Ground Zero we grabbed the subway and headed to the Flatiron Building, it is the most photographed building in history, and just all round a cool and intelligent building. where it sits the 2 roads run together to make a triangle corner. so the building conforms to this shape too. the front side of the building is so so skinny!<br />

</div>Anyway i think its awesome...<br />
<br />
Grand central is about 12 blocks up from the Flatiron, so we figured we would grab the subway, but by the time we found a station we were pretty much there so we just kept walking. Grand Central is a beautiful station. its huge and so so many people pass through it every day. there was a couple having wedding photos taken while we were there.<br />

we wanted to go up the empire state building but the line can take up to 2 hours, unless you want to pay an extra $30 on your ticket to go in the express line which brings your wait time down to about 45mins.. so we went to the top of the rock, which is the 70th floor and roof of the Rockefeller Centre. tickets are way way cheaper and it took us about 15 mins to make it to the top.<br />

<br />
We had a couple things we needed to pick up, then headed to the Guggenheim. such an amazing building pity what was on that day was a bit shit.. there was a small section of the classic awesome painting etc, a couple Picasso's, Van Gogh and Matisse which was pretty cool to see. we grabbed the free audio tour when we walked in, mine died after about 5 mins so i then had to carry it around for the next hour or so that we were there... annoying.<br />
<br />
The photography section was closed for install, story if my life. though there was this awesome installation by Hans-Peter Feldman, he won the Hugo Boss prize for $100,000 and then installed the same amount over the walls of an entire room its was unbelievable. see photos below. there was some guy who had clearly never been to a gallery before, he got told off for touching the work, then he started blowing on it "but I'm not touching it" dick head..<br />

From the Gugg we walked to Central Park, the weather was starting to looking a but sad, about 15 mins into walking through the park it started pissing down again. Kat and i still refusing to buy umbrellas so we got a little wet, and by a little wet i mean drenched.. we got over it and got a hot dog in central park. we realised we were right next to the Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art) we kinda wanted to go in but also to get out of the rain.. only day it was closed.<br />
<br />
The rain let up and Kat was after a new pair of boots so we headed to Broadway, didn't get Kat shoes but i got 2 new pairs, got an awesome pair of Steve Madden kinda dressy leather shoes for $35! cheap as! and also a pair of vans. we were walking back down the street and i happened to look up and notice the sky was getting close to black, iv never seen the sky that dark. i looked at Kat and said "ok i think its time." we saw a street vendor selling umbrellas, and grabbed 2, no joke, 2 seconds later, we hadn't even had time to put our money back in our wallets and it started BUCKETING! the rain actually hurt it was that heavy!<br />
<br />
I decided a while ago i wanted a pair of Ray Bans so and Kat had to get new sunnies for one of her friend so we found a sunglasses hut. i got mine and Kat the ones she needed, by this time the rain had let up a bit. but we were over it and headed home.<br />
<br />
Tuesday we really just couldn't be bothered, weather wasn't great and well we couldn't be bothered..<br />
had a late start and decided to hang around Williamsburg, i had to pick up a couple things for un-named people so we did that. We had Japanese for lunch (at like 4pm) the Bento box i had was so so good. we ended the day as we have done many times in Williamsburg, and had beers on the roof and watched the sun go down.<br />

<br />
Kat wanted to go back to the artist market and pick something up so after a slow start we headed there, it was looking gloomy but not raining when we left the apartment, about 10 mins later the heavens opened... Mag was all smug as she had an umbrella, Kat, Angela and i not so lucky, we got pretty wet, it didnt rain for long so we didnt bother to buy an unbrella, then it started again..<br />
<br />
We spent a bit of time at the artist market, i bought some jewlery from a designer who handmakes all her stuff, they are awesome, cant say too much as i got them as gifts for a lucky few, and maybe one for me... Kat ended up getting one from her as well. We talked to her for ages about what she does etc, and her about us, like why we were here and about photography as Kat had her camera over her shoulder. After the artist market Mag and i wanted to go to a flea market that was just down the road, at the same spot that the farmers market had been the day before, they alternate every saturday and sunday. we got down there and they had obviously called it off because of the weather, im going to go this weekend coming instead.<br />
<br />
because of the rain, and because Angela was stressing about getting to the airport, as she was heading home, we got back to the apartment around 2pm and just chilled for a bit, about 4pm Angela grabbed a cab and left for the airport. Mag was leaving to go upstate the next day so she spent the next couple of hours working out her travel plans, booking tickets etc. she had to go find a internet cafe so she could print the ticket.<br />
<br />
Kat and i decided it was about time to go venturing out for dinner, we decided on this meatball place that someone had recommended, it was AWESOME! you go in and they give you the menu and a whiteboard marker. you choose wether you want just meatballs or a slider, salad or a kinda subway roll. then what sauce, any sides, drinks, dessert. it was a really cool concept to take one simple thing like meatballs and make it this awesome. they do one thing and do it well. i had the chicken meatballs with a basil pesto sauce, the greens of the day which was green beans with creme fraiche, crushed walnuts and tarragon. and then had their signature dessert, a cookie ice cream sandwich, that consisted of peanut butter cookies with toasted coconut ice cream smashed in between. WOW.<br />
<br />
we were sitting eating and i happend to turn around and realise that Hamish (from Hamish and Andy) was sitting behind us having dinner, they are currently filming their show in NYC, the studio is in brooklyn and must be close.. i made the mistake of pointing this out to the other two and we then all turned around and stared at him at the same time.. awkward. we were going to go and say hi after we had finished filling our faces but he left... sad face.<br />
<br />
after dinner we grabbed some beers from the pharmacy (yes the pharmacy) and headed back to the roof deck. Mag was going early so we headed to bed.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">We arrived back in NYC at about 10pm on Thursday night, we moved into our new place and went looking for food; we literally went across the road. We found Pies and Thighs, basically an awesome KFC; they do really good fried chicken, biscuits (otherwise know as scones) and salads. Then they do any amazing pie you can think of for dessert. Best part is that it is about 15m from our building.. I got a pulled pork burger thing, it was pretty good, but at that stage I'm sure anything would have been amazing I hadn't eaten anything since about 6am that day. We learnt our lesson with train burgers.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Friday was a late start for me, Kat and Angela went out for breakfast and I met them about 10.30, we spent the day walking around the neighbourhood, I LOVE this place. Its like Fitzroy or smith st in NYC, this is where all the funky cafes are and so many cool little shops, I could spend so much time here. Friday we spent the majority of the day wandering around the area we went to the supermarket for some supplies, I haven't seen an actual supermarket yet, there is either convenience stores or these weird (but fantastic) all organic mini supermarkets.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Maggie arrived back in NYC at about 4pm so we met her at the station and showed her the place.. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">we got back to the apartment and Angela had fallen asleep so we got beers and sat on the roof and watched the sun go down. we decided to go out, so we went to Rabbit hole, the closest bar to our place, basically they had a beer garden so we were in. I got a gallon of cider (probably not a gallon but it was HUGE!) and the other 2 got some beer. the cider I had was probably the best I’ve ever had, it was just the right amount of sweet and it was so hot that day and the cider was sooo cold.. awesome. we moved on to another couple places then got burgers at Dumont Burger, they were glorious, at least I think they were, I had had a lot to drink. Mag and Kat seemed to enjoy them too.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">While we were looking at shops on Friday we found a flyer for 'Artists and Flea's' it was an artist market. so it is on every Saturday and Sunday. we went and had a look on Saturday, it was so good, I bought quite a bit of handmade one off jewellery, Mag got a dress and Angela another pair of shoes. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Kat and Angela headed into town, i.e. to Manhattan while Mag and I wandered around Williamsburg a bit more, we stumbled across a farmers market, and had the best homemade lemonade ever! all Americans are obsessed with real lemonade, especially in summer. we had lunch, Mag bought some beef jerky and I got a frozen banana covered in chocolate, yes make all the phallic jokes you want here, but it was really good.. and only cost me $1! photo was in the last post<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">we finished lunch and walked along the water back towards the Williamsburg Bridge, Mag needed to pee, surprise surprise, we figured we would grab some water at a place and use their toilet. didn't wok out that well, we ended up having an accidental midday cocktail, it had so much tequila in it, I hate tequila at the best of times... anyway, struggled through that and continued to the bridge. we decided to walk across it. it basically goes across the water from our new place in Williamsburg to our old apartment on the lower east side. Mag and I continued to wander for most of the afternoon, she was on the hunt for a new pair of sunnies as she had sat on the last pair. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">headed to Broadway and got her some sunnies, we went and grabbed dinner in Little Italy, there was some crazy festival on and people everywhere, was a good atmosphere for dinner though. we headed back to the apartment so Kat and Angela could go grab dinner (we only had one key at this stage) and had a cruizy night, we went and got beer and again sat on the roof till it got windy and a bit cold and headed inside.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

The engine had died.. Helpful. We then started going backwards again not helping. They finally fixed whatever was wrong and we were moving again in the right direction. Now over an hour delayed.. <br><br>Really nothing of interest to point out in the 6 or so hours after that.. We tried to sleep a bit, I read for a bit, watched some stuff on my laptop and generally tried to stop my ass from going to sleep.. <br><br>We got to Niagara Falls and went across the border to the canadian side, and to customs. Here we were made to get off the train, with all our luuggage, we trekked right through the train and out the very end door, hustled into the customs office, had to line up get interrogated, stamped then had to walk out around the building, back in another door and wait 10 mins only to go get back on the same train again.. They held 3 people for questioning etc so we sat on an idle train for close to 2 hours before they finally let us get going.. Delay now up to about 2 hours... Again not much to add about the next 3 hours, I took some photos and ate to pass the time.. <br><br></p><p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' ><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxnWa0rydrtUb2nk7_9vifEIWJlNezMOeedqztLb50_pRySybZo4vMeoGAFS41C6IJTpG8t4EUGn1hPaKBU9SoJVO7tp2zJkBIAkIwMwpM0bGUZ2qESMbdmslMH5hTV5AKuJkqUxX4kR9B/' ></img></div></p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left'>Finally arrived at Union Station, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA!<br>We ended up being about 55mins delayed so we had made up some time which was good. We were to be staying with relatives of Kat and Angela's, except she hadn't told them she was coming. She wanted to surprise them, though her brilliant plan was for us to go out and meet them and she would jump out etc, except Kat had never met these people before and of course I didnt know what they looked like.. In the end before Angela could hide they spotted her, which was kinda lucky because they didn't know what Kat looked like either, the only photo of her they could find was one from when she was 4, safe to say she has changed a bit.. Haha. <br><br>After (quite) a few profanities, everyone got hugs and were introduced to the family etc. We were greeted by no less than 7 people.. After all the excitement we piled into the car and went home. We were staying with angelas cousin, Teresa, her husband Glenn and their boys JD and Andy. We arrive home and got the house rules, those being that if you want something get it yourself, and to help ourselves to anything.. Glenn and Kat started on the beers, we all had a good chat, I crashed pretty early being 1.30am, everyone else called it a night about 3.<br><br>All the boys play ice hockey, so Kat and I got a lovely wake up call from Andy at about 6.30am he was banging 2 hockey sticks together, I was very tempted to grab one and take his head off but thought it probably wasn't the best first impression to make.. Andy thought he was hilarious.. He had threatened to do it the night before but i didn't expect him to follow through.. We got up around 8 after a very broken sleep and the wake up call, had some breakfast and headed out to see another cousin Dom.<br><br>Dom has crones disease. I'm not sure at all what that is but he had to be put in a home with the availability of 24 hour care, he is confined to a wheelchair so it became impossible for him to stay at home on his own. <br><br>Angela hasn't seen anyone for 5 years so she was very keen to see Dom, we arrived about 12 and stayed till 6pm or so, the whole family is Italian so most of the time they spoke in Italian so I felt pretty left out and had no idea what was going on most of the time. <br><br>I did make friends with a squirrel while I was there though.. We jumped back in the car, did a small tour of downtown toronto, then headed to Nona's for dinner.. </p><p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' ><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7-3tiTC8VatwZaaKLa2s2B43MpXzVKQ1CNfpGtFo6rHNOTJfX6Yitb5t3WCK20Q12qT5X75D2RqB4f5rZQjz_O7A-BJ0AqslvQL46oLOiWrPLMh7YR0aeQMF0WvaA3QmDFVnk6BuSUb5y/' ></img></div></p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left'>I reckon there would have been 30 people at nona's for dinner, it was absolute chaos! Every time you thought that was all another family would arrive and this wasn't even half of them. We had dips and bread, then gnocchi, salads, other random stuff then coffee/tea and cake.. You almost had to roll me out of there.. <br><br>Again everyone except me spoke Italian or at least understood it so there was a lot of yelling and general loud family antics playing out for the duration of dinner and I again had no idea what was going on. <br><br>We left and headed past the supermarket as Teresa needed milk. So weird, they buy it in bags, it's like a bladder of milk. So so odd, then you have to have a special jug to sit it in in your fridge and you snip off the corner to use it.. Weird. Since we have been in the US Kat had been looking for spray deodorant, and it just doesn't exist in the US, it's really odd what you can and can't get here.<br><br>We left andy with one of the aunts so Kat and I got a much needed sleep in Tuesday morning. <br><br>We waited for Teresa to get home from work, and then went to nona's again to see Dom and pick up Angela. <br>I had Spent all morning trying to gain access to my money. I have over $4000 in my savings account but to transfer money the stupid bank needs a phone pin and of course that gets sent to my Australian mobile number. Not so good when I'm in Canada. I called the international 'help' number, so they can give me a pin and process the transaction.. The help guy was an idiot, i told him straight away i was in a hurry because i was calling international and therefore it was costing me a fortune. He first proceeded to try to upgrade my account, set up some phone pin and something else.. Again I don't have time to mate. $15 phonecall later I hung up because he was the most unhelpful person ever. Basically the international 'help' number is just someone on the end of the phone to say 'sorry can't do shit' His solution to me gaining access to my account was for him to post a letter to my house in Melbourne, yeah because that is going to help me while I'm in CANADA! <br>I then tried to call Optus to put global roaming on my phone so l could receive the pin text while i was overseas, and my phone hung up half way through because I ran out of credit...<br><br>After we picked up Angela We ended up going downtown for the evening, all shops in the city stay open till 9 or 10pm every night and the big stores like wallmart are either 24 hours or close at midnight at the earliest. We headed downtown with Teresa, Glen and the boys, we had an early dinner then did a bit of shopping at this massive mall. While we were waiting for everyone else some guy proposed.. Not the most romantic spot, next to a crappy little fountain in a shopping centre..ah well she said yes so I guess that's what matters. <br><br>Angela was after coffee, and so the hunt began, wandering downtown we ended up at what looked like times sq only a 5th of the size, for summer they were playing movies in the square, that night it was saturday night fever. The hunt for coffee was abandoned, we got some icecream and went home.</p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left'>On wednesday everyone again went to see Dom so after we had lunch I walked downtown. Didn't realise quite how far it was from where we were and also had no freakin idea where i was going. I didn't have a map, usually I would just use the maps on my phone but I also didn't have net access.. By accident I found out that all of the fedex offices have free wifi. So then everytime I walked past an office I borrowed some Internet and checked where i was. It was nice to have a look around Toronto because I feel like I spent 4 days there and didnt actually see anything. <br>Got the subway back to everyone, I can't believe how good it was and so so simple, every subway come every 3 minutes, they are clean and almost always on time.. I found everyone else and headed to nona's for dinner again. Nancy, another cousin, brought around pizza and cakes, and after a very long and tearful/emotional goodbye to eveyone we left. We ended up at wallmart to get train supplies and maple syrup, we made it home about midnight, packed our bags, Kat and Glenn had a couple beers and we went to bed..<br><br>Another 6.30am wakeup, the boys had ice hockey training this morning, so we said our goodbyes to the boys and they left for hockey and us for the train. <br><br>Sorry that this is such a super long and probably boring post, I just needed to get up to date otherwise i never would.. We are still on the train now, looking at about 20mins until we get to Penn station, NYC. Cab to williamsburg and early in bed I think. <br><br>I am going to sleep will tonight.<br><br>Tomorrow morning I will endevour to upload a post of some real photos as apposed to all the instagrams and photos off my phone.. </p><p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' ><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsqPNVxAs-hvmrozH0jOx6ReipZiays2rKLo8Ng7O71WeBHijEcbMYpT8rhFMFEIaoZGFkHNNhaxWYz_7yfYVyQnbr-xO6bElJxUQ8emeVClefpuwObeIxc99XBW5cGi0EvHonQ3yEWG9X/' ></img></div></p>ashdawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14503125118656210085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935934893638276885.post-7491310064856206422011-08-11T07:36:00.001+10:002011-08-11T07:36:48.916+10:00Boston briefly. <p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' ><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijnXpT92wo9-EQcnUIHCIldZodJIUhMDrRrH9OndRhxd1LriOiYL1YdiCLXNUPoAxbQAmXfVjuwk2hikez5NQryG8RaQmVErsfSavlH8rkOJY503EpDejhwrldhq5ZtDzCg7pO60jfmS84/' ></img></div></p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left'>So baseball is my new favourite sport. Iv always liked it but actually going was so so awesome! Getting from NYC to Boston was a bit of a killer, it's only a 4 hour train trip but it was a big day. We jumped on the train at 9am got to Boston a bit after 1, had some lunch and headed to the park for the game. <br><br>We got to the park about 3 and met up with Maggie. Was so good to see someone from home. Went inside and got beer and headed to our seats. We paid $30 each for our seats, and later on found out the guys behind us paid $160 for theirs. We were pretty lucky to get them! <br><br>A beer or 2 later the game started. Slow start for both teams, neither the Red Sox (Boston) or Yankees (NY) scored in the first 3 innings. Though we were sufficiently entertained by the guys behind us, they were these 40something Canadian guys, and really into their baseball, there was 5 of them, 4 were supporting Red Sox as we were and 1 guy was a Yankees fan. He was louder than anyone else, though extremely outnumbered being that it was a Boston home game. 4th innings no score from the Yankees but Boston made 4 in 1 hit. We had one on each base then the batter hit a home run. Awesome. <br><br>When I met up with mags, she informed me that the red sox owned the rights to sweet Caroline, which she was extremely excited about, probably more so than the baseball.. They guys behind us said that once Boston had decided they had won they would play it. in classic Maggie style she went down to the toilet and they started playing it. She appeared as it ended but had rocked out with some randoms in the beer line. For the rest of the game the guys behind frequently broke out into song just for her.. Haha. It was such a great atmosphere. If you go to the USA go to the baseball, even if your not sport person. </p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left'>It was nice to see Boston again briefly, the game finished about 8.15 and we had to be back on the train at 9.30, the plan was to grab some dinner and head to the train, but the vicinity around the park was chaos so we just walked back into Boston centre, grabbed a couple things from the supermarket, and headed to the train. When I say supermarket it's more like an amazing buffet place, where you can also get groceries. So we grabbed a fresh salad, with whatever you want to put on it, some fresh cut fruit and a just baked choc chip cookie to share.. <br><br>Back on the train for another 5 hours, we were somehow really late, we were supposed to get in at 2.20am which was late enough but we didn't actually get into till about 2.55 so by the time we got back to our place it was close to 3.15am. Straight to bed then up at 6.30am to be back on the train to Canada. </p>ashdawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14503125118656210085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6935934893638276885.post-91082979251353154032011-08-07T14:51:00.001+10:002011-08-07T14:51:31.455+10:0012.47am. <p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left'>We stopped at a random station on the way home from Boston, I thought they broke the train, anyway we are moving again, but here's this from the station.</p><p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' ><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrN6wLvf7OzeJIXeny86ZBSXiEp-ROPP0OVrmgj90f7eLtYTVUtW8Zhmmj-_vISq2CNlc4XlOCpgPT-20ch2eOQgfQbzEESKsRBlXVDr6jadRBkHGUpNWAKlUIq9qx8lMmV3KbtVeqG0jp/' ></img></div></p>ashdawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14503125118656210085noreply@blogger.com0
