The Euro trip is over, time to hit America! | 
vstretili v aeroporty, kak pochetnih gostei | 
plan for us (to which we partly stuck to) :-) | 
American now. And even a donor! | ||||||||
in New York. The lights, people, size & general feel makes you go mute & a little dazed for the first hour or 2. New York is fucking great! | 
potashili v kakoito Armyanskiy restoran, gde sovsem ne ploho kormyat | 
Shurik stumbled upon a crime-scene. Someone got stabbed (or shot). Monya wouldn't let Shurik get any closer to take proper photos! | 
feel it in the air | ||||||||
just the infamous for all the wrong reasons, The World Trade Center (or where it used to be) | 
paintings all over the place | 
highly monitored by police & security | 
church looks great amongst the high-rises of the NYC | ||||||||
Beach. From all the talks, we expected to find a filthy looking hole, full of rude Russians. Rude Russians we did find, actually a lot more then expected (takes you back to the days in USSR), but the area itself, especially around the beach itself is quite nice! | 
and very tasty food. BYO, zakusochka, wish we still had a place like that in Sydney | 
(which wasn't very hard), where Monya found a USSR energy drink (probably a repackaged V). | 
Shurik has found his all time favourite Æèãóëåâñêîå beer! And it tasted better then most beer he has drunk in years! aaa the memories! | ||||||||

NY there is either a comedy club, or someone is trying to sell you a ticket to one. Some are very funny, others are not so much | 
down-town, we decided to grab a beer at a local all-american bar | 
week for this girl to meet up with Shurik! Vikochka, zhdem v Sydnee :-) | 
market. The only way to test it properly is to go straight on e-shurik.com | ||||||||
the streets of NY. Next stop — Russian restaurant "Paradise Garden"! |

| 
Russkie | ||||||||
compare the food, the entertainment and the overall atmosphere of the Russian restaurants of NY and of Australia. Australian joints feel like you are drinking in a barn and eating last week's leftovers, compared to NY | 
| 
reasons (personally) for the trip to NY is to see this Kavkazi bastard |

haha! | 
to do in US is play some baseball. Unfortunately, this was the closest we got to playing | ||||||||
(or was it White Power?) :-) | 
fully protected. Cops, dogs, cameras, helicopters, dudes with guns on the roof, it's all quite serious here | 
on the other hand we find this dude | 
hooked on posing | ||||||||
contacts with people who know people, we got a private tour of the United States Senate | 
paintings and even their own private rail to get around the place | 
reading about this document in front of you. The real truth? Who knows! http://www.artlebedev.com/mandership/113 | 
decided to check out some locals bars. This one was particularly interesting | ||||||||

The day we are meant to catch a bus across Canada is the day some mental dude beheads a random tourist on one of those buses. Great. |

coz to get to this toilet, you first need to buy a token at the register, then come back, put the token in the door and hope it works. |
