(I love) NY and back

<p>

Returned from New York City.  Took a bus from Chinatown on Saturday
morning.  Thanks to Verena, Mako and others for the hint about the
Chinatown busses.  They are half the price of Greyhound.  I arrived there
in the early afternoon and met with Guillaume Morin who showed me around
the city.  Unfortunately, it was raining quite heavily and we got pretty
wet.  We took the ferry to Staten Island and back.  I was surprised by the
size of the Statue of Liberty  &mdash; it's tiny (I guess it shrank due to GWB).
Then went back to Chinatown where we had dinner with Clint Adams, Greg
Pomerantz (Debian's new trademark lawyer) and Peter Eckersley (whom I know
from Melbourne; the world is so small).  Afterwards, Guillaume and I went
to the place of one of his friends and then to a club in Queens where we
had fun and got drunk.  On Sunday, we saw Brooklyn Bridge, Ground Zero and
Times Square.  Went back in the evening and arrived to a raining Boston.
