New York pictures finally up! Sorry I took so long. Hotel internet costs money, tour's been extremely tight, packed, hectic and tiring. We wake up at 5am every morning. Took too many pictures I had to painstakingly sift through all of them and choose the nicer ones. Probably won't have time for that for subsequent posts. New York is gorgeous and beautiful, but the tour did not do any justice whatsoever to the place. I barely had the chance to soak in the atmosphere, relish in the culture, experience the nightlife and feel New York for what it is. Backpacking would have made all the difference. I would have uploaded more photos but its late and I'll be attempting to wake up at 6.30am for a morning jog. (whether it materialises is, of course, another issue) till then, enjoy! :)

this is how tight security was
St Patrick's Cathedral(the catholic churches in US are grandiose, magnificent and majestic. yet... the population often comprises of the elderly only)
