Omission points...

All kind of sounds around: music, kids screaming, people talking...I am in Apple store on 5th avenue. It is after 10pm. I am a bit overdressed for this place...was planning to see a Broadway show... did not realize more people would be planning to do the same...tickets were sold out. I waited in cancellation line, no luck... strangely enough did not get disappointed.

I walked instead... and walked into places that never interested me before: M&M's store (there are more colors of m&m's, than I could name), Toys R Us (maybe I have overgrown the place, did not find it appealing...just was amazed to see how African American girl has chosen a dark skinned doll from all the selection), Swatch(thought I might help to be more punctual if I get a watch)...
Now Apple, it is worth visiting, just for watching the people and talking to stuff. I was not pleased when they guessed my accent though, not that I flattered myself of not having it...

I did a lot today, a lot of walking that is... I set off to a place far away (looking for best bagels in town), just to have a goal to get somewhere... visited market on the way: flowers, fruit and vegetables and many many people looking for healthy nutrition... Grabbed coffee and set with a book at some point... seems like I am coming back to reading.
I took subway to Financial District: Wall street, World Trade Center (7 buildings destroyed) to be rebuild by 2012, Battery Park and Statue of Liberty fading in misty air, Brooklyn Bridge... people and more people everywhere.


I am hungry... do not remember having lunch... going to look for sushi place... It's New York they have to have it open whenever... and one of 50 000 taxis can take me there.
