leaving new york - entering philadelphia

i'm too hungover now to care taking the time wrinting this both in norwegian and english, so here it goes..

day 5:
tired of strolling the streets of manhattan, i bought dantes' inferno so that i could sit down in central park reading. unfortunately, i ran into this jew-festival, so i had to walk a looong way to cross the street and enter the park. fuck! well, i finally found a spot and sat down reading. and eating. and smoking. good times. the inferno is quite a hard book to read though. advanced language. tried to find some tickets later on to a stand-up show a couple of friends were going to, but i couldn't find the seller. met them anyway later, and also another friend from norway came. so we spent the evening drinking at this irish-style pub called jameson pub or something.

day 6:
bought a ticket for philadelphia, then spent the day sitting in manhattan reading while i was waiting for the bus. a guy wanted to give me $5000 so that i could give them to whoever needed them. homeless and so on. but then he wanted my money wrapped together with his, while saying a prayer for the homeless and poor. long story short, didn't took me long to figure out what he was really after. oh, he didn't get my money by the way. took the greyhound to philly and hooked up with this couchsurfer dude. we went to a couple of bars, and dude, this town rocks!

day 7: exhausted as i was, i slept through the whole day. nice. when eric (the couchsurfer) got back from work, he brought a bottle of premium american bourbon. 45% alcohol.. shit. we emptied the bottle and went to a mexican restaurant for some nachos and cocktails. pretty much all there is to write 'bout this day.

oh! eric lives next door to the basketball course where the intro of fresh prince of bel-air is recorded. win!

philly is so much cheaper than manhattan. a beer here would be like $1,5 or $2, insted of $5. go figure. well, time to explore the streets of philadelphia..
