We're now in New York. After dim sum, which we sort of missed, we took the bus to New York City. We actually took the Fung Wah Bus , which travels from Boston's Chinatown to New York's for only 15$! You can buy tickets on the platform in Boston and it's just a regular Greyhound. We checked into the Cosmo, pausing to view City Hall on the way. Then it was off to Manhattan, where we dropped off B*'s friend Alex and went for dinner with his sister, her husband and their baby. We then jumped back on the Subway and toured Times Square, which I found to be a bit of an assault on the senses. So far I find New York smelly and dirty, but ultimately intriguing and fascinating. We only have two days, so tomorrow we are meeting up with friends and are going to hit some of the major tourist attractions.

Somewhere in all this activity, I have caught a bit of a cold and my throat is very sore.
