How about "Cymru"? <BR/><BR/>Elsie and Chux - say the word, and I'll work up a good little NYC scavenger hunt for you. (Then we'll meet for an excellent meal afterwards.)MaryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02412656596874731198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-59870649265041951962007-06-06T19:40:00.000-04:002007-06-06T19:40:00.000-04:00sounds good fun!Would have loved the experience to...sounds good fun!<BR/><BR/>Would have loved the experience too! Always wanted to come over to NY and you have made it more appealing with this story.<BR/><BR/>Nice, maybe one day!! Likely be going to visit friends in California next year. Thats poles apart in lots of ways from your area i know. To be honest I definately did not think Californians stood out as friendly and shop assistants just rubbed me up the wrong way. Anyway enough of that. ha hachuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13244284869780373051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-80045583908147929482007-06-06T17:06:00.000-04:002007-06-06T17:06:00.000-04:00Elsie, that's a hard one!

I must admit to not taking the subway after having a creepy experience there when a bunch of us went for a weekend when we were about 18 (a long, long time ago). Now we walk or take a cab if we must (Boston cabbies are far worse drivers). Next time I'll be sure to try mass transit.<BR/><BR/>Question for Liz: How do you pronounce Wales? Sadly, we Rhode Islanders sound a lot like New Yorkers, and I'm sure I pronounce it Wayels, too!Elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03961379337128878149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15254331.post-54561852965363443302007-06-06T11:23:00.000-04:002007-06-06T11:23:00.000-04:00New York is one of the few places I've visited and...New York is one of the few places I've visited and then it was only for about five days, but I really liked it and want to go back some time.<BR/><BR/>The most unpleasant person we encountered in New York was an usher in the theatre we watched Les Mis in. There was a queue outside the Ladies and he was really bossy about where we should stand, and generally unfriendly.<BR/><BR/>The waitress who asked where we came from and then said, 'Wayels?' in a bemused voice wasn't rude - just uneducated about my homeland!Liz Hindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04646532093872561703noreply@blogger.com
