Halloween
A group of us from work went to a party in New Jersey. Georgie and I dressed up as Britain in Union Jack dresses. We had a few people ask us where we were from??!! And also if our accent was real as it didn't sound very British!?!
The Americans really go all out for Halloween, its not just dressing up as witches and devils but full on costumes of Superman, batman, all kinds. There are huge costume shops that open just for Halloween.
Today we went to get some pumpkins and carve them. You can buy kits with templates and carving knives and scoopers.
There is a big parade on Tuesday along 6th avenue which we are going to check out as well.

Visa Celebrations!
I found out about my visa on Tuesday so a few of us went out for drinks that night.
Friday we all went out to Scruffy Duffys and properly celebrated!
Saturday we went to see the Bodies Exhibit - www.bodiestheexhibition.com - that was really interesting. Basically its real live dead bodies that have been plasticised or something. You can see all the muscles and the arteries. There was one of the circulatory system of the whole body it was amazing to see what your body is made out of. I also saw the lungs of a smoker and non-smoker. I really would recommend it if you smoke - to stop - it was gross!!!!!
In the evening I went to see the Scissor Sisters with Tyler. It was on the 7th floor at the Hammer Smith Ball room. We had standing tickets so everyone was dancing, you could actually feel the floor bouncing because everyone was jumping up and down so much! It was a bit disconcerting! It was fantastic though as it was only a small venue.
Went shopping to day and also have a fresh direct delivery to day. You do all your shopping on line and then get it delivered to the door! I am very excited to actually have some fresh food in the apartment to properly cook with!
Back to work tomorrow - where does the weekend go!

I'm Back!
Well it was nice to see everyone but its nice to be back in New York too!
Everything went fine, apart from had to get a return flight at the airport otherwise they wouldn't let me on the plane. When I got to I immigration though they didn't even ask if I had a return flight!!!
So everything was fine, got on the supper shuttle to go back to apartment for them to tell me I wasn't on this one so got off, then realized I'd left my laptop on it!!! With all my visa documents in it!!! So fortunately I got it back and my laptop got back to the apartment before I did! My flight landed at 12pm and I finally got home about 4pm!!!
