No 3G for me!!

Had a long day scouting Manhattan. Walked from Murray Hill down to the Lower East side. Then made my way across to Broadway where I passed my school's restaurant, L'Ecole. I was so excited to see it. The restaurant was full, which is a good sign. This is where I'll be for the next 6 months!

By chance I came across a Best Buy on Broadway and had to stop in. I might be trading in my Laptop for a set of knives, but I just can't resist the calling of an electronics store.

Afterwards I made my way to T-Mobile to get local phone service setup (I had tried AT&T earlier but they wanted my first child as collateral and the still wouldn't let me make long distance calls). After about half an hour I managed to get service setup, even though my data didn't work properly and I wasn't getting 3G service. I was assured it would start working within a few hours. As I need data NOW, I switched back to my Digicel SIM. I'll give T-mobile a chance again tomorrow.
The rest of the day was spent wondering around the West Village and SoHo. Had lunch at "Bone Lick", pretty good Pulled Pork sandwich. Managed to see 1 apartment, I was able to stand in the middle and touch both opposite walls.

I had a fabulous dinner at Kampuchea. Its a small Cambodian restaurant with only about 15 things on the menu. I had the Bacon & Garlic fried rice, it was amazing. Smokey, tangy and just the right amount of spice. They cure their own bacon here and you can tell.

After I finish this San Miguel I think ill head back to the hotel and get some rest. I've got to do it all over again tomorrow. Wish me luck.
