New York was great, fabulous. The Brooklyn Museum of Art, MoMA, PS1 Contemporary Art Space, The Museum of Natural History, The Whitney Museum, The Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, The Museum of American Folk Art, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Grand Central Station, Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge, Union Square, Phantom of the Opera, The Garden of Earthly Delights, The Klezmer Nutcracker.
I am very glad to be in the UK. Everything seems easier here than in New York. Also, it is not as cold.
I'm at a hostel in Pimlico, between Victoria station and the Themes. It's a nice spot. There's a supermarket and a bookshop at Victoria Station. The bookshop has the book of the series Stephen Fry did about the US. Apparently he's been in New York in the last week. If I'd know he was there, I would have tried to track him down, so it's probably best I didn't.
I am now looking for work. There's an opportunity here at the hostel, but I'm not sure I could live here. There are better looking things in Birmingham, so I'll think about it today and make a decision before my internet time runs out.
I'm still a bit tired from not sleeping much Tuesday night because I was on a plane, and the time difference, too, I suppose. I'll be going out for a walk this afternoon to see what's nearby. The TATE Britain looks close enough to walk to. Also, I have to contact all the people I know in the UK! And upload my photos!
Uploading photos will require some work because my camera wasn't connecting to iPhoto properly, so all the photos are in folders on my external hard drive and I can't preview them properly at the moment. Still, it is easier than trawling job search websites, with the other thing I have to do.
First: lunch.
