If you take the oh-so-popular Megabus (with it's free wifi) to NYC-don't wait to book your return ticket till the last minute (especially if it's the weekend of Halloween and a marathon) or you could end up like Keith and I-hanging out in Borders for hours, and walking around laden down with backpacks and hefty bags of tsog in times square until 10:30 on a Sunday night!
So, the three week Karma Kuchen extravaganza truly ended with a bang at Queens Palace where 1000 Sherpas squeezed into a tiny hall...very reminiscent of my Kathmandu horror bus stories...there was a crush of people in every inch-nevermind the frantic pushing trying to get up to the stage to receive the empowerment substances! Babies crying, people yelling. I was trembling by the time i found myself in front of KK! NYC equals the exact opposite of the Ohio experience!
In other news, a few terrific Halloween costumes were spotted, namely a skinny teenage boy dressed as a fairy in H&M and another guy as Tom Cruise in Risky Business walking the streets of Manhattan in underwear, long shirt and umbrella!
How did the food not run out? The people! The crowds!
