RITE AID - With us, it's personal.

I've totally got the hang of the subway now. It's so much easier to learn than the London Underground (and fuckloads cheaper)! Today Gav George and I went to ride the Stanton Island ferry there and back (it's free), so we got cool views of Liberty Island and obviously the lady herself. When we arrived back on Manhattan we wondered around the financial district and ended up visiting The Artist Formally Known As World Trade Center Ground Zero site thingy. It's a very strange feeling, standing there trying to draw the buildings into the skyline with your mind. It's pretty hard to comprehend the enormity of it all. I don't think I'm alone either because all the subway trains, signposts and maps still say World Trade Center on them. The way I see it is that there isn't anything built there, and until they put something else there, it's always going to be the World Trade Center site. Or something. There's something about it though... I didn't want to take any photos. People were and was okay that they were, I just didn't feel it would have described the place any better than my clumsy description here.
Now I'm back at the hostel and we're gearing up to get down in the East Village. Where I was all yesterday - half cut. Fantastic place.
The list of things to do and see ever increases, we've made a list of four must see films:
Fahrenheit 9/11
Supersize Me! (This guy goes a month only eating three 'square' meals a day at McDonalds. When asked if he wants it super sized he has to always say yes).
Spiderman 2
The Corporation
Still HAVE to see the Empire State Building and the fire station used in the Ghostbusters films.
"BUSTIN' MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!"
