well, here we come to the end of the trip, currently in New york and loving it. I really thought america would have been full of crazy people, and to tell the truth we saw 10 time more in adalade than here (though i think adalaide is a little strange).l

so far we've done LA (seen the famouse peoples houses and saw hugh hefner in a merc and tom cruise in a blacked out roller, we'll you couldn't see him but it was going into his house and i had a feeling!!). Next on to vegas, i won 138 quid on a 1c bet, how good is that?

Now new york, we;ve had a couple of days sight seeing so far, been up the empire state, on the statton island ferry, been to a broadway show (the producers, very funny), had pizza in grenwich village, taken the subway at 2am (and spoken to an ex marine about guns, also been shouted at by a crazy man who took his pants off?), basically being propper tourists which is what yo udo in NY.

we/ve booked for a meal on times square for new year, apparently 300,000 people are expected to be there, they reccomend that you get there for about 10am if you want a good place? me and nic decided to have a meal which got us a pass into the mayhem anytime we want, good idea hey? mind you it sounds too good so we'll let you know the catch in the new year.

hope everyone is doing well and had a good chrimbo, look forward to seeing you in the new year (only 5 days till hometime, mad)

have a gooden,

matt and nic
