so last day in san fran was fun... i think i've decided i want to live there - it's such an awesome city. the ONLY thing that i don't like about it, is that there are so many homeless people around the place, like an incredible amount... on the streets, in doorways and even shitting in the park - yeah. that's right, we saw a dude shitting in the park

it's so sad to see my dad like that - anyway... sucks to be him!

we woke up on this last day to kate saying 'what the fuckkkkkkk' - she was eating peanut m&m's in her bed and one stayed in there... needless to say a warm night mixed with tossing ad turning on white sheets made it look like she shat the bed - this made us laugh so hard that a bit of wee came out

i said to B (Brayden) that i had a surprise for him... something to do with meat and buns - he wasn't as excited as i was until we arrived at In 'n' Out burger - if you haven't experienced this in your life, then you are missing out... it was so delicious that we did not talk until we had fully eaten it all - nom nom nom

the burger joint was in Fisherman's Wharf and we spent a good couple hours walking around there and seeing every god forsaken tacky shop with everything inside it saying "San Francisco" on it - like those stores on the Gold Coast that are full of Koalas and Kangaroo scrotums that we cringe at? yeah those... about 2kms of them! i *almost* bought a san fran hoodie, but thought that maybe it would be a better idea not to get one... we already stand out enough with our accents and the fact that we walk on the wrong side of the walkway etc...

after a few more hours around there we headed off back to the hotel to begin the delightful task of packing - fuck that is annoying!

the next day we flew to New York City, the big apple, the big smoke etc... an AMAZING city, however we had a most UN-AMAZING flight full of turbulence and the plane swaying side to side. my magic white pills were in the overhead compartment and i wasn't too happy about that at all

so we arrive in NYC and it's only about -2 degrees... not too bad at all. WHAT THE FUCK - it was so cold. immediately i lost my testicles. we caught a cab to the apartment and the cab driver tried to rip us off an extra $10 - welcome to NYC :)

we met Andrea, this woman who we are renting the apartment from and she showed us around the place, it's so nice and cosy here... just remember, don't eat on the couch, it's the only rule! well one of them anyway... yeah, we have been eating on the couch

first stop to eat (as the flight was 6 hours then you have to plus 3 hours time difference) was the local pizza joint and it's delicious - NYC pizza is the best... again, nom nom nom

we went to bed, not before another pillow fight in our g-strings though (ps. i won!)

the next day we went off to Times Square, still freezing like it was no one's business... it's so cool there. we ate lunch at Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square - saw the original jacket that Michael Jackson had on in the "Thriller" filmclip and even the original penned lyrics to 'Imagine' by John Lennon - so many cool artifacts in that place - you would hate to have a fire :/

we lined up at this place called TKTS where they sell broadway and off-broadway tickets for heaps cheap - so we decided (well i decided because the louts that i'm travelling with haven't seen a musical before - pfft - amateurs **NEWS FLASH** B has just told me he has seen some gay ass play called "A Spring Awakening") to see Chicago! HE HAD IT COMING! so we quickly popped homo, Katherine Jane (Hollywood) got into her nicest frock and Brayden put on his sunday best and we headed out to the show! i sand the songs from the musical the whole way there too - the kids loved it!

the show was great, apart from the stupid jerk that was next to us, the 2 of them actually - she had her phone on and so did he and they had to have the most annoying and loudest ringtone mid show... silly fat fucks

anyway, we left the show and stepped outside into -9 degree weather... all of our muscles froze and we had to endure the cold winds for the 20 odd minute walk home... let me tell you, snot is running down your face when you cant feel it is NOT a good look - but it's funny when you don't tell your mates that they have a snot stream on their cheek...

the next day we woke up at 2pm - oops... then stayed in bed for most of the day... being -9 outside didn't give us the best of motivations to get outside and frolic around in our g-strings... to make lazy even lazier - we discovered delivery.com - this website where you can order ANYTHING to your house - so we ordered dinner from a place that is literally across the road! hilarious!

next day we headed out to SoHo and did some shopping, kate bought some things, i didn't buy anything but a beanie - we had the most amazing pizza at this place called "2 Boots" - yeah there is a theme here, the pizza is delicious - i cant remember what else happened on this day - probably something like going back to the apartment and then being lazy... OH THAT'S RIGHT - we ordered more food from delivery.com... tonight - pasta

it was gross.

today we went to 5th avenue to do more shopping (or in my case, window shopping) and we also went to Central Park... the water there is all frozen (where there would usually be lakes and shit) and we were very close to frozen ourselves. we discovered a ice rink in the middle of the park owned by Donald Trump and we stood watching people fall on their ass - it was hilarious - we even filmed some of them stacking it hard on the ground... after all this hilarity, we headed to a local market/supermarket thing and stocked up on some normal food and had that for dinner... i had bagels with some tuna on them - it was so nice just to have something normal to eat!

so what's left of NYC to see? well the other 2 have already seen the statue, the world trade centre and wall street etc, which i've seen before so i didn't go again - i'm sure it still looks the same!

we want to do the sex and the city tour - i did this last time and it was awesome - shows you some cool places in NYC too - we might do that on Tuesday when it warms up to a whole -1 degree!

so until next time i get a few minutes to blog away - look after yourselves and don't be jealous!

love etc
