.......New York.
Always interesting traversing from smaller cities to larger one. I think urban geographers study these things and I'm quite amenable to the notion that there may be an optimum size for a conurbation.
We stayed in the International Hostel at first and then moved the next day to a cheeky little place at harlem. I suppose you might call it a boutique hostel. Far too civilised for me. But even itinerant bums need pampering sometimes.
The walk through the New York snow was very satisfying as we moved from one hostel to another.
I forget the sequence, but shortly after this we ended up in a bar, where they were doing Karaoke.........Jean-Jacques started off with a good rendition of a beatles song. I had not done any Karaoke since I worked with some Japanese language students in the late 90s. But I felt a bit cheeky.
I'm a great Elton John fan, so when I saw the musical menu there was no choice.
There's something cathartic about belting out Elton John at the top of your voice. I wandered if my friends looked slightly frightened as I walked down after them and sat down to consume my beer.
That song is an absolute belter. Thank you Elton John. Thank you Bernie Taupin (he's from Lincolnshire - just over the border).
