Got up this morning and it was raining in New York, not cold sort of mid to late 20s. So quite muggy. I thought ‘you know I hear NY has some quite good indoor things to do’. So I walked down time square and then up to central park (I know this is an odd thing to do to keep out of the rain but there you go). So I then whet up to the Guggenheim, but there was a madly long number of people waiting to get in so I gave that up for next week. So I walked around for a while (yes it was still raining) and I ended up by the East river (that’s the one that doesn’t have planes falling in to it all the time). I then saw the UN building so I went in for the tour.
Very interesting tour it was odd to see the general assembly room, thinking of all the history that has happened in that room, UN trivia questions 1: name the two ‘associate members’ of the UN who get to sit at the back and not vote. We then walked though displays on some of the major Un programs like the peace-keeping deployments, UNECF etc. UN question 2 name the last 4 colonial powers according to the UN?
Answer 1: Palestine and the Holey Sea (yes they sit them beside each other they must have so much to talk about)
Answer 2: France, US, USA & NZ
Tomorrow is a big sports day with breakfast watching a game with the NYC Liverpool FC fan club and an evening with two NY NFL clubs out in New Jersey
